I think PPMS would be a great place for the sportsman drivers leaving Lernerville to race at. You guys should get together, pick a track and all race together. If Lernerville Speedway doesn't want you, find a place that does. You guys put on an awesome show.

Dano, the guys just got screwed over at the vile, and now u want them to go to ppms! LOL. Have u been hiding in a cave the past few weeks? Matt just stole a $100 from every rush late model driver at the pittsburgher! How is going to ppms supposed to help the stock guys?

Tri City would be a good choice.
Run Fridays:
Sportsman open engine Penn Ohio rules
305 sprints
Rush Late Models
E - mods Or Rush Mods
4 classes good Friday night show.

Too many Saturday shows and Sunday is a day of rest, really Sunday night is hard to handle.

Tri-City purports to be specials only, next year...

I dont think Tri-City could support themselves off that program you proposed. No true headlining divisions. And most are, what I read, the classes that tri-city had there this past sunday. And if everything i read was true, it was a LOOOOOOONG crash fest. No way would it draw fans over the BB mods, 410 Sprints, and Super Lates being only an hour or so from Lernerville anyway

the main reason it took so long, is that they still haven't fixed the transponder loop...

getting screwed is nothing new for guys from lernerville with the $170. lm tires-dirt membership-running last& for running a 400 with flat top pistons hydraulic cam +200lbs against an aluminum head roller cam 604

Can we get a violinist to start playing while these guys go on and on?

[greencar55]

It's hard to just walk away after doing something you enjoyed for over 20 years.

[Hot Dog]

Go somewhere else! That's the beauty of America, we have a choice in anything we do. If you don't like how Lernerville treats you go to one of 20 stock car tracks within 3 hours on a given weekend. If they've made it so miserable, why piss and moan about wanting to stay?

[greencar55]

We live 20 min. from the track & it's not cheep to drag a car 2 to 3 hrs.  It just sucks

[Hot Dog]

My dad lives 5 minutes from Mercer. They don't run our division, we go to Sharon which is 35-40 minutes. We don't give Mercer shit for choosing the rule package they chose, we go elsewhere. It's pretty simple. Build your car to the specs your chosen track adopts, or go elsewhere.

[Squirrely Hilly]

Regardless, this is the best track to race at in the area.    Some drivers may go to other tracks, but they are going to find out the grass isn't as green.

[greencar55]

They are getting rid of a good groop of racers. name a track that has 6 track champs + all the feature winners in one class.

Lernerville has been a Friday night staple since the beginning. What lernerville has over most other tracks is that they have run the same divisions with very little rules changes for most of that time span. I don't care what any one says ! This division is self supported and more. I have been in business for 25 + years. All anyone has asked is a explanation of why the hell this is happening ? Yet no one cares to step up and give that to the racers who have supported the track for so long.

Me personally, and yes I have, call Tomson directly. Voice your displeasure, this family has had a profitable business for many years. I am dam sure in most instances if your making profit then you don't make drastic changes such as what is proposed. Tweaking yes. But the GM wants to totally disrupt the division as it stands today.

Racers, friends, family call Tomson scrap metal direct. Voice your displeasure. Your voice is stronger than 1 GM and Missy E. Things happen in numbers. There response to me was. WE APPRECIATED YOUR CALL. I was 1, you need that to be hundreds. Nobody wants to absorb a loss like that.

Very well said....

You can Conform and take the monster energy number on your forehead  ( sell all your good stuff you finally got in your hands) or you can decide to drive 1.5 hrs .

 From Pittsburgh Airport to tricity takes 20 gallons round trip but didn't seem that long until the way home and nothing to talk about .

Lernerville is up there and on the same line as several tracks on 80 ..

Crates is not the problem for me .. Its the fact you have to buy the motors from a single vender..

Open it up to all makes that have factories in America

American Manufactured " Stock Replacement Motors " then it will be REALLY CHEAP!

[DavyLee2]

The backlash isn't from the "Crate "

the " Spec" was the first " Crate"

The " Crate " is the insult because it represents one crappy company being shoved down peoples throat !

Aftermarket ( gm machining  sold off and left for dead for PROFFIT) puts the " Performance" in the hands of the user !

So no matter how you cut the cheese .. the " Crate" stinks as a Mandate when its obvious a crate is competitive as an option under given rules ( in effect now!)

[pudnats]

Have they replaced the stocks with crate lates yet?  Radracer predicted this!!!  or was it the supers????? hhmmmmmm

[The Legend]

I might actually show up for this race .... Since it's the priest at my moms church family that bought it ....
