I'm not so certain that he is doing more harm than good. Racers love to race and will show up despite the comments. He appears to be venting and providing some insight to the racing community. It may appear that the Belleville Nationals are disorganized when in reality it is USAC. I'm not in his situation nor do I have all the facts. However, this is an open forum and USAC has equal opportunity to refute what was stated.

Well here's the problem indydmax. I'm reading his post and the points he makes are not registering with me because all I'm struck by is that a person writing that post comes off as entirely uneducated. And if you're in business, which Belleville is and this person is painting himself as representing Belleville and their unofficial point of view on matters, why would you want to come off as uneducated? He has perfectly valid viewpoints and the reader does not register them because the post as written is unreadable and how stupid he makes himself come off as. Just because you type crap on your cell phone where you don't punctuate or capitalize to your friends doesn't mean that's how proper discourse as you present information to complete strangers that don't know you at all is meant to go.
All I'm left with is wondering whether he actually represents Belleville because why would Belleville want to be represented by this person? And he's probably telling the truth on USAC, but how I am supposed to know? I cannot buy for a second that a person in charge of running Belleville is dumb enough to make that post based on how it is written. So I don't know who he is, I don't know his name, I don't know where he's located, I don't know what people at USAC he's been talking to, he makes himself like someone else said come off as 12 years old, so all I'm left with to accept his statement at faith is he does actually know these things, but the quality of his post or lack thereof does not tell me that.
(For young aspiring racers out there reading, Public Relations lesson 101 in this thread. Yes, you are going to get pissed off at people out there you deal with in racing. Everyone does. But even if you have a valid point on the matter at hand, if you come off as uneducated, no one is going to listen to what you have to say.)
