PPMS rained out! Could have gotten it in, but like usual, they play around and run other divisions instead of what people PAID to go see! Now if they want to see it again, they have to pay FULL price, no rain checks!
8th Annual Ed Laboon Memorial Up Next At PPMS!

The fans saw quite a bit of racing tonight. Of course the rain checks don't apply, if you can't afford another 15 bucks to see this show, then go see the Pirates or the Steelers or the Penguins.

So what did they do ? Run the pro stock feature last ?

They ran the crate feature before the pro stock dash and b mains so they didnt have to worry about honoring rain checks. The order was Crate feature, pro stock dash, two pro stock b mains and then straight into the pro stock Amain. It was a slap in the face to Vince and all of his hard work.

The headlined class usually runs there feature before any of the support classes. Shame, dam shame. Someone probably made a phone call and said the crate lates better be showcased. 94.3 go ahead I can't wait for you to defend this one. If you don't believe it would happen then you are living in a paper doll world.

Are you really this stupid? You always manage to make yourself look like a complete idiot. The track is the one who controls the order of the races, do you really think Rush cares if their feature is first or not? As far as rainchecks, Pittsburghs policy is once heats are complete there are NO rain checks. So them running the Rush feature first had nothing to do with trying to avoid rainchecks, you people on this site are the definition of idiocy.

Was the running order set prior to the night of racing? If it was then I think there should be no complaints.
When and where is the makeup date? I sure am looking forward to watching the race.

I've seen it happen countless times in my 50+ years of going to the races.
We get it! You hate anything and everything that is involved in/with a crate engine and they are the root of all evil in this World.

I've been going to races just as long. I must be missing something. What I've seen is, if weather is moving in they try to get it in before the rain hits. If you can tell me you have never seen that in all your years of going to the races then your paper world is about ready to come crashing down.
I want to discuss one other thing. Do some of you get off making wise ass remarks like stupid, dumb, or whatever your childish word of the day is ? You don't have to read the stupid things I post so move on. I enjoy the friendly bantering but some of you think your shit doesn't stink. Guess what, it does..
I've been going to dirt races since I was 7 yrs old. So in 58yrs I've seen enough change and no I don't like it. I don't like store bought race cars, I miss stopping by many many garages thru my years and helping someone to make the races that night.
Will racing ever be what it was ? Hell no. For those of you that weren't around ? Well you missed the greatest times of dirt track racing. I will still make my trips back north but not as much. I pick my shows that I want to see.

I'm a race fan, have been one since the mid 1950s, still get excited about going to the races just as much now as I did then. I don't care what kind of cars they race, I will be there.

Walt, jo, and flash have been around a long time they saw the change in racing the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY. But the excitement is still there it is in the blood. Racing has moved forward and will continue for some time. Crates are here some like them some don"t but they are allowed their OP on the subject that"s ok bashing them is not ok. Just be thankful we still have the racing we have, hopefully it will last. It is still in my blood even after 60 plus years so I can say I understand where they are coming from!

the make up date I heard was the next PPMS Penn Ohio race on August 17th..it will be run along with the rest of the show that night.deleted after reading the info given in the post above about rainchecks

before the rain hit they were running around with no one knowing what was up,first Smokey said to run the Hobby Stock feature,so everyone ran around getting them ready..by the time they got down the line up area they had decided to run the Laboon feature which took another half hour to get on the track.
it was a real clusterf!ck..and the running order for the race can't be right either,the car listed 7th spun in turn two collecting a few other cars.
that was a good five minutes or so before it rained,the rain started while we were single file under caution..thank goodness

Fosnaught should have to go to the tail and the 2 guys that he collected for no reason should get thier spots back.
