Amen to that!

The 25 car was wrecked in the first race of the night, it was before the dust storm of a feature.

The late models could see because there was not a lot of them.

Joe . What you are saying can go said or unsaid because it is obvious the track was not prepared for the main event . Little Richy mason who yes said lets keep the pace slow to let the dust settle ... Also said  " Use your heads out there guys ... this is going to be a Dusty one ! " and like Bob said .. people used their head and drove in there half throttle so as not to kill each other .. 16 or so straight caution free !  I personally was just practicing running the bottom so I wouldn't be tempted to drive way in deep in that cloud and wreck . I could not see anything at all once the car started into the turn . when you are going down the front stretch its all good and the cloud is in the corner so you can see .,. Soon as you turn left ,, you turn into dense dust and nothing but some reflections .. Got to hand it to those guys in like 14th and up and down who all did the same thing !

I wish they would give the great smokey a magaphone because he keeps yelling in that broken down pa system that nobody can hear in the back row.

It ain't happening, They are convinced they have us by the "short and curlies" Nothing short of a total boycott, will phase them, PERIOD!

You got a better chance of ppms serving healthier food or the legend winning a race than that!

I really don't care, it is y'all's money... spend it where you want, I will most likely be at Tri-City, if I go anywhere, Saturday...

So, how many of you will be in here talking about your experience at ppms this Saturday? If any, you are the fool. Go try another place. Money out of their wallets hurts a lot more than words on racestud

we all go back to PPMS every week hoping they get it right or reasonably close,because when properly prepped you won't get a ride like that anywhere..we all go for the track,not the management.

[dirtguy200948]

and as long as you keep going back for he track is exactly what they mgmt. wants!

And a better chance of dirt fag becoming a real contractor instead of a sub ...

Someone at ppms(Matt) thinks controversy sells tickets. I think that putting out a quality show sells many more tickets. See golden years of pittsburgher and more recently the allstar sprint shows and laboon memorial race.Matt doesn't care or want to understand that people are tired of getting bent over at the back gate for every special race(lol) especially when I pointed out all the money Vince raised for his race, but yet Matt still felt it fair to charge extra to get in. Maybe if people saw the extra money being put back into maintanence of the facility instead of someone's pocket they wouldn't be as annoyed. A quality business manager would set up a meeting with his consumers( I.e. Drivers and fans) and attempt to get feedback on how to improve his business concept, instead Matt chooses to ignore any criticism and continue to run the place into the ground. I have supported the track since the mid90s, but now only go to some specials. I personally never met red, but know now he was the true brains behind ppms. As stated above, the only way to augment change, may be a boycott of the place. I missed last week thankfully, and was glad to hear no got injured!

Genius idea! Let's try our best to close as many tracks in the area down! That'll teach 'em! I personally have no interest in towing 2 hours each way to race at Roaring Knob every week if PPMS closes.

[whiteboy55]

the track was bad on Saturday for sure, but no worse than it used to be every night in the late 90's!

 

i think the problem was that they tried to over water the track, so they could skip the intermission track prep, and let the Colussy cars parade around the track. well it backfired!

 

don't hang them yet, i just was out there today and it is freshly grated and looks good for this week. 

[j20000]

I definitely don't blame the Underwoods for the condition on Saturday. I'm guessing that either the water truck was broken or they decided that it was getting too late, and they probably thought it would be fine. I spoke to Matt privately about it, and he said that it was a mistake, and they'll try their best not to let that happen again. I don't think it warrants torches and pitchforks at the front gate.

[no alky added]

I haven't been a happy camper, since we blew our motor. but by the sounds of this i'm happy we still have a car in one piece.Look how much we saved by not paying for fuel and $40.00 the last couple of weeks. I hate to see anybodys car get torn up that bad.Mark was in the top 5 in points also.Dont know if that means any thing at all to him. 

[old man d]

j20000 why can"t Matt come on here and say that, he ownes the track. I"m sure he would get some respect if he admits a mistake. And then show he"s trying to make it right. That"s all anyone is asking!

Then quit bitching about how dusty it was Saturday on social media.

[j20000]

Did I say F PPMS! Shut it down! Go somewhere else! No. I replied to Bob Heims post that it was dusty. Which it was. That's all I'm saying about last week. On to next week.
