Just seeing this now. Figures now that I finally had a shot at a jacket after all these years, and dropped to 7th in the last points race.

Since Edgar left, Raceway Park has not scheduled a meeting with the coordinators. It appears that Raceway Park has taken full control of the series.

Rob, talk to RP and schedule and meeting, Bob T asked me to attend. Let's hope I'm out of the hospital by then.

You say that as if they never didn't "have full control of the series".


I hope they get something going again for Saturday racing, but with the multiple negative posts from racers lately on many forums about how things are being handled, all I have seen is RP representatives lashing back at these posts, not trying to correct the initial problems, or make these people happy. This is only driving even more people away IMO.

RP definitely has an image problem. If even half of what is being said about the track personnel is true, Someone there needs to step up and fix it ASAP if they expect racers to want to come back. Their elitest attitude leaves a lot to be desired.

OMG that was a magical day (May 2011 I believe it was), I'm still in shock over that one to this day. Farley, Fisher and Ellis in that order I believe in the CC Pro 11.50 Index.
And I've never done anything like that before or since of course LOL.
Thanks Doug.
