How simple is that???? Ok we have the last night of the seson in less than 24 hours, ive been thru enough destruction all year to fill up the camper pull. This is my last night at painesville speedway until something good happens at the track, For  the 2009 racing season Scott marshfield will be taking over my duties as a driver but taking my car to the factory four divison along with my number. I would like to thank all my fans, Sponsors, Including Jim, Jeannie, Josh & Daphne Bee, Jay & Scott Marshfield, And Everyone else that helped me out throughout  the season of 2008. Hope to see a better turn out for the 2009 season but i will find something more useful to do with my saturdays.

ok! well here it goes from what i was told..... Jim the guy that does the site for the batemens was told to take the blog offline because of foul mouths ( cusing ) but from what i can see the only thing thats getting tossed around in here more than a hot potato is jimmy cohagen. now as for points, and being updated jason has not givin anything to jim, there is no and i mean NO points available because someone is on vaction. the only points that are available are sometime in june and i dont even know where im at last i knew i was in 4th but you cant tell. As for all this unless something straitens up this WILL be my last week, theres too much drama, and when the second fastest car baged it in quilifying to win this hours 16:25 is fast and i was going nowhere except hanging out in the back.

Hey I havent been on here in awhile well basically cause nothing ever changes. As far I as I can remember we did race last saturday. Its now friday morning and I stopped in to look at pics and points and read alittle. But wait, six days later and no pics? No points? Nothing new? Anyways I was read through the blogs....I need a good laugh before I start my day! I can honestly say that there are tons of good points on here. But guys and gals let be real...NOBODY oh I am sorry no wait I did mean NOBDOY who needs to read these are actually reading them. I know its a great way to vent and hope to get through but after all that has been said on here has anything changed? Hell come on I even through money out there and nothing from nobody. So to everyone who does write ideas on here I have one good wish for you......if P-ville doesnt want to listen I hope other tracks are reading this and useing your ideas. Atleast this way they will be put to use or atleast considered.

I did read a post by DLOW or something like that about what happened last saturday night. From the bottom of my heart thank you for the nice words. But an even BIGGER THANK YOU!! goes out to Bobby Leland for letting me drive his car. It did give me a big push into second place in the points. There is still some sportsman there at the track however it isnt much more than the Sportsman Division LOL. Sorry guys but its true, I would love to see the sportsman class make a huge comeback but it isnt gonna happen. Once again Thank you to Bobby Leland and his crew for helping us out big time last week.

Now for another piece of news and a thank you. I will be driving this week in a car supplied to us by Rocky Nails. I lot of guys dont like Rocky but you know beside Big Joe, Rocky has always volunteered to help out when I have been in a bind. I want to thank Rocky for the help and the ride this weekend. And to Rocky I cant wait to race against you in the dirt(legally lol) at Raceway 7 next week. Deals between 9-11 Racing and Rocky Nails.....hum has the world come to an end? Lets just say two guys that put up with any shit are stronger than one and teaming together well we will just have to wait and see. Rocky again thanks bud.

As for everyone else well the next two days are gonna be big and some decisions are going to be made here in the next couple of days. We will see what happeneds next.

well first off let me apologize to tucker 53 for my drivers actions. I was supposed to run that car in the camper pull. with that being said he will not be driving for me the rest of the season. Now as for the accident I got out of my car in the infield after the flag was dropped to run and make sure dylan was ok. with that being said I see why painesville has no drivers, the comment that was said to at that moment pissed me off so much to just load it up and not come back. but why does jason have to say well if you DONT like it here go somewhere else. thats tne most retarded thing you could say when that driver is tne one buying tires and racing at your track. and jason I hope you do read this I seriously want you to apologize before I bring my 2 cars back up to your track. what you said was needed it but the extra part was uncalled for rude and unneeded. I DONT care if im 4th or 20th that's how to make drivers leave. and now the only reason im even thinking of comming out there this week is my sister wants to try to race before she leaves for college. I hope to see my fans at the track on sat sincerly melvin martin 68

Finally for the first time in a month we can talk racing! Let me agree with the rest of the site and give kudos to t.j.! You little man have only one way to go and that looks like trouble for the rest of the class! Congrats on the win and here's to many more, maybe a new big dog is emerging! Racing ah yes Charles….. Jeff was outside I was inside and you went inside inside? Too many insides there! I’m use to a 21 painted on that inside inside car! Hehehehehehe don’t worry your car will look nice with blue paint all over it! Hahahaha and who the hell was driving that car in the feature! Dam got to get me a set of those tires! Lastly to Danielle I have gotten complaints too about the things I say here but a opinion is never wrong remember that it may be only yours but it’s never wrong! There are only 2 people who have any clue what really happened and they are on the track racing! I actually have an example for you: heavy weight figure eight pursuit-the afore mention comments I went in to the turn thinking me and the 7 where in for a ride but it didn’t happen (thank you Charles ha-ha) but I went in to fast and pushed right in to Jeff. How should management see that? How do you know what a driver is thinking in the split second he has to react. When it comes to racing there are 2 sides to every story, or maybe 3 or 4 depends on how many people you ask! But you are right we show up every week because we love the racing how ever it may go! And we all should say what we feel!     P.s. they were mad at me for going high in the turns!

Ok just to make things clear after my last posting, idk who it was, but the going to lorain thing is not going to happen! This is my home track, im 4th for points, trying to chase to be champ.  Yes i agree that something must be done because some rules did change a little too fast but...... some were good some were bad, in any business thats the way it crumbles!

Im suer that they as much as anyone wanted to run on friday but there may be a good reason that they can't. The township may have told them no because they have to get permision to run on Fridays now or there may not be medical support available that night or there may not be sheriff forces available that night.  lets not jump to to many conclusions.  Did I just say that?

ok.... this may sound stupid (everything out of my mouth does) but if we do only run sat are we having a roll over, derby, and a camper pull figure 8? im doing the camper pull as long as i can find a trailer or camper.... but that would be awsome just a one night stand like that with that many events!

 

 

And if you know ANYONE that i could get a camper or trailer from please call me (440) 231-8633 thanks!

I guess there really isnt a right or wrong answer to this one. However, I was going and watching racing at P-ville in tha late 80's when I was still on dirt. I started racing there in 95. I think a better way for me to answer this would be by classes lol. Back in the days of me watching, I think one of my favorite Sportsman Drivers would be Dan Fults. In the present I would have to say I enjoyed watching Chuck Phillips run his sportsman car. In the Trophy Stock back in the day I like the O'Donnells.  Then (and I know I will get slack over this one) I would have to say it was Josh Nysnik. In the current day Tom Herns, he is new still and very hungry. Factory four when it first started I would have to say Bob Boyd. Nowadays Mr. Hayes has a lot of votes. Now for probally the toughest class. Big Dog figure 8. Let me just put the list on here lol. I have really enjoyed watching The Marvins, The Marchs' Chad, and I always enjoyed watching Tim Pierce(RIP) and Rob Raab in his big old Caddy. Way to many drivers to try and think about.

I didnt grow up that long ago ( some will say i will never grow up ) but i remember steve smith #57 & #11, He drove for Arnett "Pops" Titus, then you had the marvin bros. the tecavic bros. dave craft. Every week i would be at that track and watch some amazing racing! I wish i could of seen the older guys, such as Randy Karlovec, Bill Rabb, so on.  But as 90's closed and 00's opened I remember Scott Skufca who gave me the first shot in a car, Russ Needhamer, Dan " Gums " Zundel ( Whom i got my # 68 from ) Nester Bagleono, Bob Boyd, Kenny Bender, tim pierce.......

But still on the same note I remember the distinct sight of turn 2 and the white wagon and a " puff " of fire extingusher filling the air.... This man gave me his last car, The one that saw so much knew more that i could imagine to know..... Augie " The dog " Lansmann
