I thought after being outta the seat for 12 years it be different, guess not.
OK, you had your 2 cents worth, I'll add mine, and it may or may not be accepted by anyone but me, but I'm going to add it anyway. You are right, it was Jason Willis, and I didn't agree with the call, you guys were just doin some close racin on a small track, and from where I was, seemed like the opinion was about split. Things get really close, when there isn't much of a track to race on, so some contact is to be expected, the group I was standing with thought the call was bad. So much for that, here's another one that will have a lot of heat, I think the best thing that has happened to TQ racing in the time since the car counts of as high as 66, is the fact that we now have a choice of where we want to race, I watched kart racing over the years, have it's ups and downs, and it was always down when there were too many racers, and not enough places to race, it doesn't take long for the romance to end, when you are sending over 60% of the car count home, week after week, with no sign of the mix changing much, barring the economy, we have it now, as good as it's ever been, as far as I am concerned, if we'd show up at a track with 5 other divisions there, and 80% of the fans there to watch something else, it'd be the same thing all over again, no place to race, not because of the quality, just too many cars for the track to absorb! Lets try to keep what we got, we can go with 3 different organizations now, and still put, most of the time, at least 24 cars in the pits, that's what it takes to make these cars grow again, not trying to run them all together. That's my 2 cents worth, and it's what I truly believe, no BS or fancy footwork, just the facts! Bob
