Its a shame one person can get on here and try and tear us down because HE made the mistake...not us. We are even honoring rain checks from last year on THIS race. Too many people getting what they are supposed to for this Bigbudman's issue to be legit. Guys like him make it hard for race tracks to operate. My name is R. J. Scott and I can be reach at the speedway if he or anyone else would like to chat.

I remember it from last year also. Sometimes bad feelings die hard as is the case with BIGEBUDMAN.

Let's say he did make a mistake as you stated. Couldn't you have offered a more amicable solution to appease a paying customer rather than " your mistake , sir , sorry ".
Sounds like something out of the D.A. playbook , frankly.

Check with Dave Rudisell ( Lawrenceburg ) and Tony Barhorst ( Rumble Series ) on a similar situation that surely all promoters have confronted and I'd bet the end solution would not be IOW news ... just something resolved between the parties to the satisfaction of everyone.

I have known Budman for the last few years and consider him a very standup man and a good friend. If Brent tells me he was done wrong then I believe him.

And no I do not drink Bud beer. :thumbsdown:

I'm a Miller High Life man myself.:cheers

I was with Budman at EVERY USAC Winchester event last year. The event in question: He was there before I was so he bought his ticket before I did. So I think he must have been given another type of ticket. I'm sure the track is going to say that isn't possible, but to me it sounds like it is. I sat with him at every event so I know he PAID for every event. I did get to use my raincheck so I had no issues. It sounds like to me there was a mix up (RJ seems to think that is not even a possibility...strange things CAN happen even when you think there is no way something like that could have).

I don't see how a track would want to loose a customer over $20. I'm pretty sure a fan is not going to get on a message board the next season to try and "con" $20 out of a track. Pretty obvious that something weird happened so I think it should be made right.
