Just Thinking......

Joe Demarais · 07-15-2010, 04:44 PM

Ron, I was one of the ones that left, I was not happy when they canceled us out from the time trial. How long would it have taken us to get a qualifing run for 25 cars. Then sitting strapped up in the car for a couple hours on Sat didn't help my disposition much. I also am seriously thinking of staying away from the Nationals. It is definitely more fun going to the combo races. It is pretty busy now, and I really don't want to give up 4 or 5 days work with the way the economy is. I may need an attitude adjustment, but it seems like it is changing to the "who gives a sh__" when it comes to National events.

Thats my thoughts to Joe! One more thing after the interesting answer I got up in the tower we were the first pair out Sun morning. I think someone was not happy with me!

We have more fun @ the Buckeye S/SS combo races than the N races. Less sitting more racing. One day event pays good money and no bitching or crying. Please go out and support these series as they may one day be our only place to race. Try it you'll like it. Joe & Jacque

Ron you couldn't have been too surprised by their actions. The least they could do is run a sportsman latter one day and a pro the next so you don’t have the same ladder both days. I have never been to grove creek. How are they to deal with?

Very good people there. Would be nice to have a S/SS program there sometime!
