Attn: EVERY Track promoter, track employee, driver, car owner and team member.

I want to apologize to you for providing a site that drowns all the positive(USEFUL) things you do in a sea of negativity(USELESS).

I know this thread probably won't get much attention because only negative things seem to gather any fanfare.

I truly appreciate the hard work, the long hours, the money you spend, the great races you provide and everything else in between. I just wish others fully understood and appreciated all you do rather than constantly ******** about it.

Thank you for giving this 18 year cancer fighter something I truly love before I die.

Bill, the vast majority of us IOWers ignore the nattering nabobs of negativism who sometimes lurk on here. We appreciate not only "EVERY Track promoter, track employee, driver, car owner and team member.", but you for all your efforts to promote racing and give us a place to gather to share information, get our questions answered, meet people and all the other POSITIVE things this site makes possible.

Thank you so much for everything you do for us.

I don't know how many members this site has, but it seems to me that the negative stuff comes mainly from the same small group. I'm about to cheerfully spend almost $1000 on plane fare & car rental (plus gas) to see what you all get to see just for the price of gas. If you can't tell, I'm jealous.

OTOH, Bill, in most cases, the original negative comment usually gets quickly shouted down by those who agree that the glass is more than half full.

Bill,
I too want to thank you for this site and encourage you to ignore the negativism and keep up the fight. God Bless you.
As a fan of non wing sprint cars, I am here to tell you this site is far and away the best source of information about the absolute best racing in the world. I am not involved with any driver, team or track so this is where I go because so many of you are directly involved and it is my way to almost feel as though I too am involved.
You and all the drivers, crew, car owners, sponsers and promoters have my thanks and heart felt appreciation.
Ed

Dick, I'm getting ready to do the same thing! Can't wait for ISW!

Bill, I've noticed a higher level of grumps on a number of racing forums lately. Maybe it's the summer heat getting to them?

IOW is kinda of like an evning news cast. If all we said was positive and up lifting things you could get by with an "I phone" for a server. Which by the way seemed to have been down a few minites ago. It far better to b-i-t-c-h (Learned that from you) and get it over than to let it fester and sometimes things actually do get done.

A perfect example.
