I can see there is no being rational with you.....ill save that Pepsi for ya...who do you sponser again...im still waiting?? 
Oh sorry. I put up the money for low qualifier in Extreme 10.5. Didn't mean to keep you waiting, just didn't figure it was a big deal. Apparently it must be to you? What races do you put on? Just curious, as you seem to know the proper way to run one successfully. Maybe I can sponsor one of yours as well.

Sooo, no one has an issue with chevys, fords, and pontiacs running all weekend, but have a major issue with ONE ford making ONE pass?
i heard a couple gripes from some hardcore mopar guys but i look at it this way the more the merrier. personally i think it only adds to the program to mix in a couple other brands in the NSS style racing. i mean isn't this what racing has been about for all these years?
heck racers regardless of brand need to stick together, most of the public would like to see us disappear entirely

I agree. It gave me one more opportunity to root for a Mopar vs. whoever, lol. My point was that everyone keeps on about Glidden making a pass by saying "Why was a Ford allowed to run", but they weren't saying anything about the brand x's in NSS. I personally was excited to see the old brand x's run. I love all forms of race cars, Mopars just happen to be my favorite! And yeah, Gup was pretty stoked about the low qual money, lol.

yea but if iirc the knuckle head left it in his pants or jacket he threw under the motor home. if i'd have known that i would have grabbed it and made him sweat for awhile before he got it back 
i know what happened with the dime i can only imagine what he would've done for that qualifying money

Hahaha! For sure! We are going to spread it out and set his melted piston on top of it for a photo op, lol. That was actually Gup's idea.

Hey Marc,im just wondering...what class will you be in at the spring fling?? I just talked too some friends who said you will probably be in the trophy class...i said no way...hes not ready for that class. He will probably be in the stands telling anyone who will listen that racers are complainers!! And that he is a big sponser of the 10.5 class...all 7 of em. Mark, you are a godsend too MMW...how would this weekend have happened for the past 27 years with out you hot shot....quit being so humble.....  once again..looking forward too seeing all the trues at the spring fling. 
LMAO, WOW! And you have the nerve to call someone else thin skinned? You just went all 7th grade school girl on me, hahhaaa. Typical though. Putting words in my mouth, I mean. Can you point me to a post where I said I was a big shot? Nope. Can you point me to a post where I said I personally had anything to do with MMW success? Nope. As a matter of fact, after you asked over and over who I sponsored, I told you that I hadn't mentioned it because I DIDN'T feel it was a big deal. But I guess after you asking me over and over who I sponsored, it was just too much for you when I asked you what races you put on and offered to sponsor them. I guess that means your answer is you don't put on races. You sit back and tell everyone else how to run theirs, when you're clueless. I'm sorry you got all butt hurt after telling me to have a thicker skin, then I apparently struck some nerve showing you are about as thin skinned as they come. I guess I see why you sided with the complainers now. Please don't you start crying now, too. And to "attempt" to insult me by making up some junior high-esque story about "talking with your friends" about me running trophy class, lol, I guess they don't have an age limit to join this site, huh? BTW, what class do you race? Keep the insults coming, though. I sure hope you can come up with something better than what you already did. PLEASE don't tell me that drivel was your best shot.
Sorry I made you mad for asking what race you put on. I didn't realize that was such a sore subject for a self-proclaimed know it all such as yourself. So, what car will you have at the Spring Fling. I'm sure we can line them up. You certainly can't be afraid of a "trophy class" car, right? Especially when I'm not ready to even run that class yet, lol. Hahaha, let me know when you stop letting your little sister post for you.

No prob...what class are you gonna race big shout?
My car is built to run several. No worries though. As your "friends" said, it'll probably be trophy class that I'm not quite ready for yet. What car will you have? Please don't tell me it's the one that 60 ft's 1.39. That would surely scare me.

I think its fair too let all the whiners know what class you plan on racing at the fling...come on big time sponser...
Although I appreciate the respect of calling me a big time sponsor and a big "shout", that's not necessary. It seems you are the only one who thinks that.

I think that the point was that Dan (original poster) was trying to make was that in some people eyes it was a Gamblers race that was a scheduled part of the event. You can call it a "free race" but it used to be part of the event paid entry. If I understand the facts correctly it was changed to an extra cost part of the event at last falls Indy MMW and the MMW Spring Fling at Gateway. Like I said before, you can call it a free race but if it's on the schedule, serious racers who are used to it being part of the event and are there to try to win the $$$$ are gonna expect to be able to race it.It's just a simple fact that people don't like when they have something and then it's taken away (or charged extra for). Try taking benefits from an employee and see what happens. I know that Dan was pissed Saturday night after he went to the tower to talk/complain about the way the race being canceled was handled. He said that Josh told him "It was a free race" and turned and walked away from him. That probably wasn't the best way for Josh to handle it. As far as the Billy Glidden issue, it wasn't simply a problem of it being a Ford running. If he was running a Ford in NSS I doubt it would have been brought up at all.It simply didn't fit at MMW.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
