it should be run where you left off everybody that knows racing knows that .... we don't race our car for free so we should get our money back PLUS gas expense , wear on tires , motor, helmet shields , tear offs , food and drinks bought at track , etc....cause actually we wouldn't have been there other wise and racers shouldn't have to give jody more money...in reality he is making more and the ones who didn't do good oviously want to run a 2 day show. we were there so were the gilliams etc...

Just be glad Jody done everything he could to get this race in and to have it at TR. I dont know if I would of wanted to go to through all he did to get this race in at TR. Think about it he is having to work with the very people that are taking over something that he has built over the last 3 years. Good luck to everyone.


Johnny or Marie...

You know I (we...Cynthia says hey) love you guys and appreciate every kindness yall have extended to us , but ...



DANG.....This ain't no weekly show...how would you guys feel ...

going to the Nationals....

Run good in practice, stayed in the motel...

Qualified good....won your heat... start front row for the main....went to the motel.

It started raining.....and rained....and rained.....

The track announces that the race will be run next month at a different track but then changes that to..." it will be run at the same track but everything starts over"

HUH ?

How mad would you guys have been ?

It just isn't fair to the smaller teams.

The high school kid...he wanted to play football...instead he and his friends built a pure stock car....put every dime, every quarter...........showed up every week at his local track....came to the BIG SHOW....finished 2nd in his heat....that means 2nd row outside

Yeeehaaaaaaaaaaw.



Or....what about this young lady.....

Her parents spend oodles of money...she runs up front every now and then......................

Heck fire, she runs against every car that was there that night.......finishes 3rd....she might not be the fastest, but she WAS there.

Or the Bare fella I mentiomed earlier.......what are the chances of getting one of the most prolific enduro or renegade racers around to come back to this track ?

What about........?


Ya' get my drift ?

If you can run good enough one week then do it another week and PROVE that it wasn't a one week flash in the pan. The only fair thing to do is start all over. But if Jr or Lil Suzy don't have the confidence or the ablity to run good again just take your arm bands and go to the stands and watch. BUT!!!! Jamey Johnson is going to be in Spartanburg that night so don't know bout yall but thats where I would rather be.

Here what I think......yes it sucks to have to start over, but look on the bright side.....your getting to race and use the armbands that you have already paid for. At least all that money is not going to a waste!

Jody has already stated that the arms bands that were Purchased so the only people that have to pay are people that were not there on the original night...

Any other time there was a rain out either there would be 2 mains ran the next week or restart everthing...either way there would be WEAR ON THE MOTORS, HELMETS, MORE TEAR-OFFS and a longer show so u would end up buying MORE FOOD AND DRINKS...so why should anyone have to be paid back for these things?

JMO but i think that Jody is doin it right...YOUR THE GREATEST JP...
