Hi Toby. Excellent videos as always. With the long time span between rounds I assume there was either a late start and/or several oildowns yesterday. Sorry you are out early, but great videos. Did Bill Parmenter blow it up bigtime and then was Jim Davison re-enstated??

Quick question Toby. Did the upper pit area seem a little unorganized or is it just me?? Had to pick and choose a route with the golf cart on Wednesday.

Seems like a couple of cars didn`t check their dials before they staged. Unfortunate.

That guy in Stock out there...#7025...is that the Phys-Ed teacher from Jersey?

We need a "NEW" Division Director, I had a good half hour conversation with ours on Saturday and he is in way over his head !!!!!!! Just my opinion ! He had us in the lanes Friday morning 1.5 hours before the track was done being prepped, Then was yelling at us in the lanes Saturday morning to hurry up ?
He said he had racers calling him in the morning wanting run orders changed to better "fit" their racing needs because they run two cars ? I feel this kind of manipulation could create an unfair advantage ! How far has it gone? How long has it been going on ? What other "inside" advantages are being used ? I want a level playing field.....I want a director who can not be manipulated ! Remember, This is just my opinion and i had to express it.......

Actually Kelly, he mentioned that to me also but I got the distinct impression that he wasn't going to budge on this. He said that getting to the lanes on time was the responsibility of the racer regardless of whether he has one car or two. As a matter of fact, I watched him reprimand Torres for being late so he seems to be taking it seriously.

As long as I'm on my soapbox (and there may be differing views on this), I hope that in spite of the problems that we had this weekend that we have more double headers. It seems like a win-win situation financially for the track and the racers, the car count indicates that this has some appeal. Next time, I think that it would be best that it be done at a race without the regional Alcohol classes and the Harleys, those factor put it over the edge timewise.

Also, thanks to Toby for his video work. We all appreciate your time and effort.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. It's called finding another new way to give away a round.

Ya Toby, Herman is definatly overdue, I know he will get there. BTW, I believe they still use the same safety truck in the background of your winners circle shot up in Ashcroft! Great pictures! Thanks again.

Yeah Jim, it looked like Jim Johnston was in the same boat as you in S/S.
I guess when Ryan Warter left before you did was a bit of a shock!
