Well, to clear up Reeferman and all the other talkers on the board...there was no race because no one showed up....there was also no sponsorship money for that class...I ended up paying for it out of my pocket last year as well... but thats my choice.
2 cars isnt a race...anywhere...
Josh I understand you position but 2 cars ARE A RACE..
too bad you didnt get more cars... so in your opinion
how many have to show to be a race... glad you had
a good weekend

You can't advertize a race with a specific class, let a guy pay to race and drag his car across the country to come there and then tell him to pound sand because you failed to promote the class. And if you decided to not run the class, then you should have at least helped him with his entry and travel expenses IMO.

Wow....talk about a bunch of haters, LOL
I posted on fastmopars BEFORE the race that I wouldn't be there. AND that I was responsible for Clinton not making it. (I am painting Clinton's car)
All I can say is its so typical to see all the negative comments and criticism of the 10.5 class. Unfortunately it just worked out that most cars are not done. Yea I guess it takes more ? To build these cars, they aren't bracket cars with 440's with 509 purple shaft cams and 727/Dana 60 lmao
Say and type what. You want, I'll bet its a real show in September, I don't recall talking so much $hit ......until I'm up and running. Lmao
Josh thanks for all your tireless efforts, no one seems to ever say that enough

At least I can feel all the love flowing from my Moparts family.
One day there will be no races because no one wants to put their neck out to make it happen. And when you do you get brow beat by people that don't show up or like reeferman don't even exist.
I'm still blown away that people have a leg to stand on to complain. Especially if you didn't show up. We have paid even when we are rained out if racing had started and one race we had to call the whole thing and the racers got a credit to this one.
How can it get better than that.
I see more and more of what's going on in this hobby everyday and continue to stick my dik out so this doesn't dry up and people still find something to complain about. This hobby is cutting off it own nose.
I have reserved comment to this point, its not that I feel you are personally addressing anyone, but let me provide my view;
You can’t be a half bad guy, as you like and support the Mopar community – we have never met and I do not judge, so please take the following as constructive criticism.
1. There have been a few lingering questions since about late march early may. I and a few others have been clinging on for answers – none provided.
2. You have posted more in the last 14 hours than you have the prior 3 months, not sure I get it.
3. Special event insurance, no I’m not a promoter, but I have been around a long time – look into it – then you can provide a reasonable contingency plan if a rainout occurs, protects you and the racer. I know its not cheap, but it is far more of a $$ benefit than a burden.
4. Four days prior to the start of the event the question was asked by someone if you had the run order established, your reply was no – guess I don’t get that either – even though it isn’t the least bit important to me, the lack of a run order screams the lack of organization.
5. Making purse structure at the event based on gate draw is a recipe for disaster, ask the recently folded promoter. Establish a firm plan prior and stick to it, whatever that may be.
I was loaded and ready to roll days ahead and pulled the plug on my plans at the last minute due to weather threat, KK is my home track so travel expenses were not any of the consideration factors. I race solely for the fun of it; I couldn’t see risking the chance with so many uncertainties as the aggregation factor would have clearly offset the fun factor.
I’m confident you will grow through this if you so desire, the Mopar community is resilient – I will look forward to that point in time…………….

"One day there will be no races because no one wants to put their neck out to make it happen." These days are closer than you think.  The bow tie boys have seen it happen with Super Chevy Sunday. The Bristol and Clay City Mopar meets are already being combined with all brands. The Classic used to be 5 races and now down to one, CB has quit doing anything  and the Nats are getting beat up and also are a lot smaller than in years past. The Bob George series had to cancel it first race 5 days before it was to happen. Sponsors are becoming less and less, just look at the midways. We were looking at the back of some of the older t shirts some were wearing and the list of sponsors on the shirts have almost all dissappered. Just my 2 cents, if you don't attend don't complain, I can't race any more but still try to attend all I can and support all the Mopar stuff because I enjoy the people and the racing. And I do appreciate the ones who bring their cars, both show and race, to the events so people like me can enjoy.  And yes I did have a blast.
