Hate to hear this, makes sense why the USSA race was cancelled.

It's really sad to see something that could be so helpful be so destructive. Thanks for sharing the link. |
Social media seems to do more harm than good lately....

Re: Baer Field News
I remember racing a 2 day event at Baer Field and Angola on the weekend that hurricane Katrina hit. The price of gas went through the ceiling and I came home after that weekend and sold all my racing stuff and RV because the price of gas alone would raise the price of EVERYTHING!! Remember the media chirping about how high the price of gas was then($2.50)! Do you still hear them talking about it at $4.00 (not a peep)? I hate ta tell you UNINFORMED AMERICANS but the world is CHANGING!
Good job Jon Rainy for at least trying to make something out of a track that needed a new facelift. I think he just got tired of beating his head against a wall! |

Re: Baer Field News
Sad. Not just the aspect of another track closing, but the fact that so many people behave like total jerks. The article stated that some guy threatened to kill him when told he had to put on a shirt. Unreal. I read in Area Auto Racing that the owner of Bradford, PA speedway decided to close it down when the wife and mother of one of the racers verbally abused him....in church!!!
It's not just race "fans" and it's not just social media, it's "humanity" in general. IMO, Civility and respect are declining at a rapid pace and it's very sad. I have strong feelings as to the cause of this 'de-evolution', (it's USAC's fault!:17:JK of course) but I'm sure everyone else does too. |

Now, the "social media" argument is one sided and open to hundreds to read about. Hence, pile on time. A changing world we have always lived in. It will continue to change. |
