In the past few days people have been coming to me and asking.....:you always have so much to say why are you so quiet on the tracks site, have you no Loyalty any more". First off nobody should ever question my Loyalty, if anyone really knows me they know that is what I am all about. I stated at P-ville way back in 95. I was there and raced with alot of these guys when they were rookies. Ask some of them, like Chad, Luke, Jay and the list goes on. I built a car this year that I can ONLY run at P-ville. Yes I have talked to other tracks to run it on a special occassion basis but it is a straight up P-ville car. But I am not Loyal? I think some people get upset becuase I say what is on my mind and I speak the truth. For the last three years I have seen a track I love go down hill and its rolling faster and faster every week. Painesville has become the fat kid from our childhood days. It is the last to get picked in the racing game. Suggestions dont seem to work! Our voices dont seem to work! The fans(or lack of) voices dont seem to matter. As of late I have been going to other tracks on my free time and I dont see the same things at other tracks as I do at Painesville. Track officials are just that at other places they arent working on drivers cars or selling them cars. They are there do to a job and the friendships arent an option at the track or with track dealings.

As far as some of the other things I have seen. Yes it is true that some tracks run fees differently. Like at Raceway 7 the compacts do NOT pay a fee to race, plus they get a free general admission ticket or a $10 discount on a second pits pass. On top of all that they pay the top 3 at the end of the night. Blue Eyes you must have been there cause I read your message. Other tracks dont charge to get the compacts in either.

I have plenty of ideas on track improvement and special races but if it just falls on dead ears(like in the past) why bother. If someone actually listened I would take time to sit down, plan them out and even make sure they went down. I have over twenty years of racing under my belt and I have seen some wacky, fun and safe races. I would love to promote some of them.

The heart beat is still there but it is very very slow and fading. I am willing to help out even though I have been told by some people in management 'if you arent happy here, then find somewhere else to race". Well guys you have told that to alot of otheres and guess what they pass your track every week to race somewhere else and I am still here. SO please start listening to those that are still around!!!!!!!!!!!!!
