Default Re: Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9

Well, let me put this in English so you'll understand. BTW, your grammar sucks! The main and only point I made, was that once a sponsor buys a said race they should get said race, period! Not split said race with another sponsor just so you can race on that weekend. I'm sure there were others that wanted to race, but a lot of others did not. So, the racers along with most of the sponsors did decide to call these races. What was it you said earlier... you are done with CCRA, that you won't support them anymore if you can't have your race when you want it ? I love your passion son, but there are others involved. here as well. The track operators take a beating when there is rain. Also, when I said you sponsor...... I was talking about you, not daddy! And unlike you I followed a hurricane to Bristol in 1989 in hopes of running the shootouts and finals only to be rained out for 3 straight weekends, but since IHRA wasn't proactive in those days I had to travel and miss work for 3 straight weeks just to win a trophy and a small amount of cash! SO, any scenario you can come up with I've already done it. It is by no means Cheesy to be prudent and call a race when all of the forecasts call for rain. It is smart and thinking of the racers and of the tracks bottom line. I'll tell you what, you can sponsor my race for next year, I said you...not daddy. I'll sit out , but if it rains your date out 4 times, like mine was I think it is only right that I get to choose when your race is run. I mean I don't want to have any of my weekends ruined, to hell with you paying for a race and not getting a whole race. RIGHT? Give me a -----ing break.
