Not sure I understand what you mean about slapping people, then drinking a beer with them. I never banned anyone for posting, unless they threaten or abused other members. I did remove posts to stay on topic. Most bans are in the classifieds and they are temporary, usually just a week.

So with the horrible things I did, it caused the .90 section to die and even you as moderator with the many friends and influence you have could not bring it back. I apologize for my short sightedness and maybe things will get better in the future. As for your moderating privileges, I removed all moderators the first of the year from Class Racer for security reasons.

So I gave you the privilege of being a moderator of my site so you could stop me from overstepping my power. So if I came to work for you, and you being my boss, you would let me make the decisions for your business correct?

I guess you think Class Racer is community property and members should control the site. That's fine if you feel that way, but its not based in good business sense. Someone has to make the decisions, wright or wrong.

It is true the .90 section is not a busy as it once was, but the overall site has grown leaps and bounds over the years. My advertisers are very happy with the amount of traffic. Being just a mere mortal that makes mistakes, I am sure there are things I could improve on. I always try to be fair as I can.

Chris, telling me how to run Class Racer is like me telling you how to paint a car. If I painted a car it would look like I used a roller. The cars that I have seen you paint look great, and its obviously you know your stuff. Try not to judge what I do until you walk in my shoes. I would never presume to judge your business because I have never been in your type of business.

The car you were supposed to paint was a project car that I could not finish and went to another owner. I do appreciate what you and your dad were going to do for us on that car.

We still like you Kenny.....see you this weekend.....

The superclasses don't have a lot of issues....except for payout and expense .....

So that's why there aren't a lot of topics to discuss....recently though it looks like we need to talk about safety....I spoke with Johnny D and he mentioned track conditions being poor inGainesville...Phoenix and Vegas.......why....what are they doing differently......?....

And is it time for mandatory head and neck restraints....nobody needs to get hurt doing this.....

What do you think ?

Thanks Rock, but being friends with me on this section might not be in your best interest.

Chris does not think much of me or Class Racer, and just look at Frank V, his comments speaks volumes. Who knows how many lurk in the shadows with opinions such as theirs. When I am the track, I am always wary that someone might want to inflict harm on me.

All kidding aside Rock, you bring up a good point about the .90 section.

I can't speak for Phoenix and Vegas, but Gainesville seemed to be okay for stock and super stock. I'm in your corner when it comes to safety, I can't say I like to ware all the equipment, but I understand and follow the rules with no reservations.

See ya at the 4 wide bud.

Obviously you dont understand me. you personally.... got no problem, this site a little but nothing big, no injury or pain is to be said to given to ANYONE, that is just stupid. I put up this topic to attempt to see how many people actually still come here to read. figured going directly to the users problem would strike a nerve and have them say something. possibly getting users to comment.

I have no ill will against anyone at the track, and I LOVE the fact that you are now responding under your name and not hiding under the "ADMIN" disguise

see u all at the races

Boy, I sure don't like that word mandatory, for everyone. There is nothing keeping you, from getting your head restraint for your self. I can understand why you would want one. Taking off like a rocket, then no acceleration, then taking off again and going about 160. Be nicer if the track was 100 percent, to where you didn't have traction issues. Oh I forgot, maybe slamming the brakes on at the finish line. To me it would be cumbersome, because 90 percent of the time I am looking for you guys in the mirror. I hope you have a good season ROCK. I have issues, and I have voiced my concerns with you,.but I am 1 out of a hundred. And I hope we all have a safe season. And I am trying to make my fuse longer so you guys can waste time after the burnout. Safe season for everyone, I hope. Steve Williams, the blue car.

I think its because everyone is now doing internet on their phones and not wasting time at home on the desktop. Its just to damn hard to do alot of typing on these things unless you are a 15-16 year old girl. They can throw down 70 words a minute on a top the line android or I-phone. Have no problem with the Admin. although he did ban me once, I was wrong didn't read the rules just thought I could do something I saw someone else do, kinda like high school I guess that's why I stayed in trouble. I said I was sorry he said he was sorry, well I don't think he actually said he was sorry but he reinstated me so close enough. I love the site, this is my facebook cause I don't facebook so everybody wake up and start posting. All you lurkers out there who haven't joined sign up and let's hear some b*--%ing and complaining.

First if all just because you are one in one hundred doesn't mean your voice is any less important conversely it makes it more so. I use a head and neck restraint and Dale Ernhart might be with us today if he had and the only way he would have was if it was "mandatory" . Even though I race super comp I too don't care for throttle stops and I don't jam on the brakes at the finish line. I too hope you and all of my fellow super class racers have a safe season. Good luck to you Steve and don't let. The "Mob" silence you.

head and neck restraints will make (people with money ) build faster engines to be the chasers. I tried on one and i couldnt turn my head , how are you suppose to look to the side for the other car?
