With the huge demand for your services, quadruple your prices and work 75% less hours!!.

Should be no problem commanding that rate, your the best in the buisness!!

Hire the best, pay them the best,....allowing you to race every week!!

And not work harder than any mortal man or slave ever has!!

And you don't think I've tried that ???? I've been at this since 2000, and I have increased my gross and net every single year since I started.... Even as all of these sooo called talented guys cried they couldn't find work because of the economy ..... It's not that easy. If it worked how you said that's what I would be doing , but it's not .

They all start out strong and go downhill from there. Zero, work ethic. Racing post, sure is. But, think about it, little and big Auto related businesses are looking for help EVERYWHERE. Why work, the government gives you everything. It all has to start somewhere.

[The Legend]

Jo that is exactly the problem. People who refuse to work don't have to suffer bad enough to force them to work.

well if you can drive an escalade, live rent free, swipe your access card to buy steak and lobster all while selling dime bags to buy bling, and your patron at the local strip club, where you slip the door man a 5 so you can pack your gat and throw 20 ones on the stage like your somebody...........why not?

Something doesn't add up here.   Why exactly do you want to call Tomson?    Lernerville isn't a public tax funded service.   Its a private business.   If any of the racers chose to go elsewhere, should the track come on here and complain?  Better yet, do you think they are going to call you and share their displeasure with you racing elsewhere?    I understand this class has a following, and I understand youre not very happy.  I wouldn't be either.  But if you don't like whats being offered, tuck your pride away and go to another venue who wants your business.  While the complaints are valid, your basically crying because the neighbor closed his sandbox down, and now you are forced to walk down the street farther.  If you don't like their choice, no matter how crappy, walk farther or build your own sandbox.   I believe rather than try to change their opinions with how inconvenienced you will be, show them how much you drivers will be missed when youre putting on a show elsewhere.

It is a private business, but you're not telling the whole story. The drivers and their equipment are what the fans pay to see. The same drivers and their team members that have to pay twice the grandstand admission every week for the "privilege" of putting on said show.

 

Many of these teams will simply sell out and quit. For a variety of reasons, they won't go anywhere else, mostly because doing so will cost them more than what they have budgeted for weekly racing. Point being, how in the hell is a crate only rule bringing in more cars when it is literally forcing guys out?

 

These guys get shit on and take it. Guess what, you're on the schedule for the WoO LM show, and for a regular purse. Oh, you won't be there because you have to work you say? Well, how about we make this a points race? Pretty shitty treatment, right? Bullshit like this, and many of these teams have raced there for dozens of years. Weekly and specials, and many times theirs has been the best feature of the night. But, I suppose loayalty doesn't mean anything to any of you jokers. Either put this POS motor in your car or you can't race here, or in other words, f**k off!

 

This is something Don never would have done. Proof? When he dropped the Sprints in the early 80's, he added the 6-cylinders to the show. When he picked the Sprints back up a few weeks later, he didn't dump the 6 bangers. He kept them there for the rest of that season and many years after. It was business acumen and loyalty like that that built Lernerville, and it's the reason why the track has the reputation that it does. It's those very things that make what Risch, Jr is doing to the Stock guys all the more insidious.

[old man d]

Well said. Sounds like you watched the growth and reputation of Lernerville and now you"r seeing the decline. Sad all for power and greed. 

[Benny K]

Well they dropped the 6 cylinders and LimitEd Lates and just added stocks. I remember the same complaining then only there wasn't Internet and message boards.
