Any idea who won?

From hoseheads it sounds like the promotor won to,here is a couple of quotes from there

I would have to say that I agree after driving 2 hours and burning $150 worth of diesel in the truck we find out (unannounced before hand) that the car would now have to pay an additional $50. I was not happy about it. However thats part of racing and I let it go we all know that this sport cost money, sometimes lots of it, so I got over it and payed my $50 to race. We then set in the rain and dirtyed our cars packing the racetrack so that we could RACE. Unfortuantly mother nature saw things going differently and would not coorperate. When the race was then cancelled I assumed this would be like any other race in the country where if you do not get heat races in, then you recieve a refund on your pit pass and entry fee, so I proceeded to the pit gate to get in line (with everyone else) who was apparently thinking the same, only to find out that they had no intentions at all of giving us a refund. Like I said this is a SPORT and most of us relize that it cost money, But this is not about money, its about general principal! We are often refered to as a "racing community" and thats how we like it, we're friends and neighbors that participate in a sport together and Im not sure about anyone else, but tonight was not how I like seeing friends and neighbors in my "community" treated. I felt we were all taken advantage of by not being notified of the $50 car entry fee ahead of time and then not being refunded our money when the show was not a sucess. What saddenes me even more is that I see this race forever being tarished because of the greed of a track owner. After spending several years building this race up so that it is now paying a decent purse and having an excellent car count (there was literally no where to park in the pits) that because of one persons greed that many of these cars including mine will no longer be attending this race or any race held at this track in the future. There is always a big struggle between the track promotors and drivers about purse and pricing, Its sort of a give and take relationship, tonight at springfield raceway was a BIG TAKE and I just hope that the promotor realizes what hes doing and withdraws his previous statements and simply does the RIGHT thing for our "community"!




Yea it was a bunch of B.S. this guy is lucky he didnt have any trouble, i was surprised to see as many people walk out of that place without bothering to stop and ask for their money back. He charged each car $50 and then he charged each person entering the pits $35, so every driver had to pay AT LEAST $85 just to get in there and watch the rain and snow come down then he made more money off of the crew members.

I made sure before we left today to see if there were any changes on the website and there were none. Did anybody know about the $50 cover charge?

It just amazes me that this guy can basically steal about $35,000 from people and go home and sleep. I know for sure that next time this guy promotes a race that i will NOT be there.

who is the promoter and where and what kind of racing???????????

(If you notice,it was 30 for pitpass,it went to 35 and 50 to bring the car into the pits)

Where was all this information on Hoseheads?

Having been aware of the weather, increased costs, and my own excuses, I made the final decision about 8PM Friday night, to not go. Sure glad I did not!

Can anyone post the entry list of midget drivers?
