Got word from a reliable source that they are looking for nitrous oxide in your fire bottle this Friday. Everyone has to pull through tech and discharge your system to prove it's legal or else you won't be allowed to race. If you don't comply you'll be suspended for an undetermined amount of time and banned from their social media platforms.

We get it you hate the place. Move on
Pretty soon he's going to run out of tracks to go to and bitch abut. First PPMS, now Lernerville. Wonder where the next one will be for him!

I can understand PPMS. But then I haven't been there in a very long time.
And Lernerville isn't above criticism.

My dad drove late models in the early 70's at North Hills, Butler, Mercer, Blanket Hill, and occasionally Tri City. We won the last late model track championship at Blanket Hill.

I'm thinkin' that rumor was probably started by the fire extinguisher salesman. And some people are gullible enough to believe it.

Here's the main issue. Are there things ownership needs to address? Yes, definitely. However, the Tomson's are smart enough to keep much of what made Lernerville what it is. So, unless and until I feel I'm no longer getting my money's worth as a fan, then I'll still be there more often than not. Still the best program and best track surface in the area.

I've not heard anything. I think it's an attempt at humor at the expense of Lernerville's tech personnel.

Maybe you should experience Lernerville from a racers point of view. I guarantee you'll have a different perspective. Some tracks are better than others. Some appreciate the racers and others don't. Some promoters will tell you "if you don't like it, go somewhere else". Nobody makes money at racing except the promotors. Us racers spend untold amounts of money to go racing , all it does is cost more and more all the time. Fuel $12 a gallon , tires are near $200 each,ya $200 ,how many do you think you need per week? Minimum of 4 if you wanna keep up with the rest of them. So if you wander why a racer gets pissed off over a bullshit call, technical or on track, try to understand that all the money we spend on racing is basically going into the promoters pocket. They need to appreciate us and realize we are the show they are selling. Without cars they have no show.

This is 100% accurate. Great response!!
The difference between now and years back both you and I think about for comparing is there are physically more then twice as many people in our country now then before.
And there are way more then twice as many people with the disposable income needed to be able to purchase cookie cutter demanded by promoters top shelf racing gear.
Example: RUSH, and all the now current strictly ruled classes, examples of which are even stock class race cars are built chassis.
I remember thanks for coming and were glad your here, which is non existent today in western pa and eastern ohio.
In a nutshell today if you destroy a car and likely got hurt the phone call from the track will not be about your well being, but about if you will have your car at the next race.
I'll never forget being told "I provide a quality place for racers to race and charge a reasonable price for them to race at my track."
The reality of today more and more is it's "I provide a quality place for racers to race and charge a reasonable price for them to race at my track.".
And today you can more and more see in addition to the above it's: "I provide quality cost effective rules and equipment for you to race at our customer owned tracks.".
The racing venue is into the pocket books of tracks today more and more from promoters and sellers of racing equipment, then racers.
The reason racers don't get compensated for their efforts is the sellers of racing equipment and promoters of races are taking more and more of track owners dollars.
And it all goes back to there are over twice as many people and potential customers, since we first stepped on the Moon, with the money to buy into racing as a hobby.
Tracks and promoters don't need talented show people(racers) anymore because there are more then enough would be actors out there with the cash to buy there chance into the show business of racing.
Some will succeed and no different then Broadway's 42'nd street, most will fail.
All the fans in the stands of today will remember is who was fast and who shinned.
How they got the way they did does not matter.

And the show and feeling I get about Lernerville as a Fan is money well spent.
The show at Lernerville weekly is good enough for me to say, I can't get my money out fast enough to go in and watch.
But this thread is not about how Fans feel.

No its not but as always you manage to take a post about legit complaints and turn it into a bitch fest about crates. That has nothing to do with the criticism of Lernerville.

Bottom line is the Tomson's are not fans of the sport. They bought Lernerville to make money. I think they try to look like they give a damn, but only in so far as it doesn't interfere with their bank account.

Another great response that is 100% accurate. They know they can make a profit off of racing so they will continue to do so. The only thing that motivates them is money and that includes the people who can help them make money.Bottom line is the Tomson's are not fans of the sport. They bought Lernerville to make money.

Hasn't this been rushs goal since day 1?? Line their pockets through manufactors then force their clients to buy those products.
