Mr Tague don't mind his members racing with mmsa when he don't have a race. but there has to be a reason for that. (maybe they was told not to run with amsa) just my say so, will get alot of flunk about that statement

Harry, just because you have been around for years doesn't mean you are any better than the guy who just set up shop.

We have run with Bill and the MMSA and he does a great job. I can tell you right now that next season there is a strong likelihood we will run wherever we decide we want to run no matter who is running the show.

I agree with what others have posted....let the MMSA have their Indiana tracks, the AMSA L-Burg and other misc Ohio tracks, but then have the two organizations run some joint races at locations that could be agreed to. It would be awesome to see some events that had 30+ cars.

Would also like to see Twin Cities back on the schedule. That would be a great venue for a joint event, as would L-Burg, Brownstown and Waynesfield.

By the way...excellent job of stirring things up! :8::32:

Haha comedy at it's best..!! How bout the MMSA gets a corporate sponsor and absorbs the AMSA tracks.. I don't mind Ohio if it's on a Saturday and Sunday.. Bill is a great promoter and works for the racer.. (Boom goes the dynamite)

Re: Amsa and mmsa merging to form the america

I am a serious racer and been racing all my audult life.
AMSA was my primary sanctioning group for two years.
I got fustrated by non sense rules, the click and ******** that wore me out.
I do not race AMSA events unless they are at Waynesfield.
That is now my home track even though I live and travel from Virginia.
Race with MMSA and have never had any problems and sound rules that are fair.
I wish MMSA ran more races in Ohio such as Moler, Raceway 35, KC and even L' Berg.
Bill May your are doing a great job, keep the ******** out and rules simple you will keep growing car counts.

My thoughts as a true racer.

MMSA is having a 2 day show on Oct 7-8 for the Fun-Fest at Brownstown. I never had much "fun" at the burg fun-fest because of pit problems and problems even getting to the race track on time. Last year we all pitted together in the back of the pits and had a really good time. If you have never raced there it is one of the better tracks for mini-sprints wide smooth and not too big or not too small and real side by side racey.

Not really interested in tearing up a car for 'fun'. :18:

How about changing the rules to make drive shafts optional and getting some of the older mini-sprints to run with us?

Hell Harry we don't have the horsepower to run with those guy's, we run stock 1000cc motors. They (JT)didn't make me feel too welcome at the Tulsa race. Spent the whole week and not even a Hi pitted right next to him. Still got that old nerf bar too.

do you still run that old nerf bar according to the rules and does anyone check it.

Not that many 1st timers are going to obtain a ride just for fun fest. and besides that your driver was a 1st timer at one time:)

I undrestand that....but he had raced before. And I didn't put him in a car until he had been on the track by himself a couple of times.

I have heard that some teams let other friends / family drive their cars at fun-fest.....I don't want to be anywhere near that.

Re: Amsa and mmsa merging to form the america

We didn't tear up stuff last year. It's a great time to meet other racers when they aren't out for blood. You have plenty of time to walk around and bull with one another. When we are racing that's all we think about (sure hope this race does not count for perfect attendance awards) that would take some of the fun out of it. If you have a new driver put them next to a guy with experience for help with set up if they want help, put a flag on the car start them on the back and have fun. Remember SEAT TIME SEAT TIME SEAT TIME.

Only at the "Chili Bowl" can you see a first timer running side by side with Sammy Swindell and sometimes surviving.
