Umra at rushville what a joke
 

After a small child lit a firework a very rude fair board member cam over and yelled at him. We laughed him off for being the miserable old man he was. Next thing I know we are being surrounded swat team style and almost in cuffs for having an opposing view with a Goff fan whom is also on the fair board. I have never been kicked out of a track especially one I have been going to for years. Umra if this is how you want to treat someone who goes to your race long live the mtqrl.

A fairboard member approaches you (not a UMRA Board member) for what ever reason and it the UMRA's fault! Are you serious. Can you explain why or how the UMRA is at fault here?

Well because everything was hunky dory until we had an opposing view with the umras king of kings and the fairboard member didnt like it too much. Bottom line is he should not have come and been such a dick to a young race fan. And when we asked for our ticket money from the pleasant young ladies at the gate the fairboard member had the police roll up like a modern day Gestapo.

" after a SMALL CHILD LIT a firework" sounds like some responsable parenting to me. Did he light it with his cigarette.

Re: Umra at rushville what a joke
 

you are rude and disrespectful to a person doing his job and it's the UMRA's fault and then somehow you blame Terry Goff????? give me a break, sounds like you're looking for a fight or arguement. And by the way a CHILD should not be handling fireworks let alone in a crowd......I think it's pretty clear who the DICK is here....

I truely can understand your dissapointment with having to leave! Im not trying to start anything or discredit your feelings. However, again I dont see how the UMRA is at fault here. You were not approached by a representative of the UMRA! But a representative of the Rush County Fair and the police.

It's not my kid so don't talk to me about parenting. He like 11 you never played with fireworks? And I never once said it was terrys fault. I was simply stating we were not cheering for
him and that the fair board member was unhappy. Sucks I had to leave I
talked that race up to alot of friends. I personally love tq races. Oh well two bad days of racing. At least sprint week is breathing down our necks.

I was just making a joke:3:, trying to lighten the mood. It's to bad that the situation could not get resolved and that you had to leave:42::. Tq racing needs all the fans we can get.
!:6:

I understand being frustrated, but to put this on UMRA's shoulders is absolutely unfair. This isn't about either TQ organization. If you're going going to be upset with anyone, it should be the Rush County Fair Board.

I don't know tonight's situation, but I will say that they don't rate real high with me.

Isn't it because of the Goffs and the way the UMRA bent over backwards to keep them happy all these years that prompted the MTQRL to form a rival sanctioning body in TQs? Or it was at least a major contributing factor for the new series? Ask Tate Martz (specifically the 2001 Rushville Natls incident) or even Bryce Townsend (from his brief visit many years ago) about the UMRA's BS when it comes to keeping those idiots happy. And as far aas the guy above who tried to put down the kid's parent for him being able to light his own firework.....seriously man are you that pathetic? A kid isnt even allowed to light off fireworks on the 4th of July by himself without it being called poor parenting? Come find me at Gas City Friday so I can shoot a bottle rocket in your face....actually u will probably be requesting updates instead of going to a race like all these other true fans on this board.

Wow this guy is a hard ass lol...lets threaten somebody with a bottle rocket over the internet? As far as the Goff comment...the Goffs didn"t run off anybody...those guys just didnt like getting there asses handed to them week in and week out so they put there tails between there legs and ran away...say what you will about them ******** and complaining but when they ***** they do it for a good reason...the Goffs are great people and TQ racing wouldnt be where it is today...if it werent for them busting there asses week in, week out, for not only them selves but for a good majority of other TQ racing teams, TQ racing would be a lost cause...Dont get it twisted either, I will run with either club and there is good competition in both clubs, but if you dont beat Terry, Jason, or Oogie (when he races) you cant say you have beaten the best...So in short shut your mouth and quit bad mouthing the Goffs, but if you want to I am sure, me or, any of the Goffs wouldnt mind you doing it to our faces :11;:10:

What's a TQ and who are the Goff"s?

Re: Umra at rushville what a joke
 

Did they kick out monkeygirl too?

Re: Umra at rushville what a joke
 

It provided extremely good theatre for some of us fans in the stands.:3: Amazing how UMRA is thrown under the bus when a fair board member was the person who approached them. Was there anything else that happened at the exit prior to police being called?

I notice you don't deny you were drunk...look you made an ass out of yourself and got kicked out...then you try to blame someone else and post on this board like anyone would agree with you...come on...be a man and admit you messed up and move on in life...i'm sure the guys that tossed you wrote it off and forgot it ..i'm sure you'll be kicked out of better places before you die..at least your not barred for life:6:

Well what is good parenting anyhow ? My mom and dad were among the best and I never lit off any fireworks as a child with a cigarette, my uncle mario would let us bum a cigar, and supply the m80's and 1/4 sticks. Heck, that was good parenting at least they knew what I was doing and could keep track of me by the booms. Of course if the parents knew he was lighting fireworks off at the races they shouldnt have allowed it. Thing is I have a 14 year old son and if thats the worse he's doing I'm relieved. I let my boy handle dangerous things all the time, weeds out the dumb ones.

Re: Umra at rushville what a joke
 

I think the bottom line is that it was said over the speakers that it was not allowed (maybe a warning?) Whether it was before or after the incident i dont know. It was definately not UMRA's fault.

Re: Umra at rushville what a joke
 

I don't believe I have ever asked for updates. But I do appreciate them. I can't make it to Gas City because I have to work on Saturday and with some luck I will get all my parts and be putting my car back together so i can run with the UMRA at Brownstown Saturday night.P.S. my name is Jeff Bruce and I race the #9 TQ Midget with both clubs. I prefer the seat I have compared to the bleachers.

Curious.if your 14 year old son was shooting off fireworks at a racetrack where he might hurt or maim someone wouldn't you want an adult to stop him...thats all that happened:14:

check my post better, I kinda stated that. I wasnt speaking of the actual event I was thinking of parenting in general. yes I would like someone to speak, not yell to him and bring his ass right to me.
