As a painter and carpet installer, I couldn't walk in someones house and say their wife's ugly and their dog's mangy. They'd of been on the phone for the company I was working for in a second, and I'd of been out the door. There is a problem with the track, You go to the comp director. The director makes his own decision on it then goes to the promoter or track prep person. It's that or you load up. You don't go in victory lane and bash em right in front of em on the mic or on social media, Which he did on all three visits to one track listed in 17 and did to Eldora both this year and last year and as many of the complaint's that were warranted were offset by the times they weren't.

I've stated before I think he's a hell of a guy, hell of a racer and a good person, But after so much of anything, You wouldn't stand there and take it, Over and over and over. He had it coming and his removal of the post and apology is kinda proof he knew he was in the wrong.

Open up the nursery?? This is hilarious coming from one of the biggest babies on this board. You are such the hypocrite. If someone picks on your precious Lawrenceburg you cry and whine. Similar to the promoter that can’t take criticism either. Clearly he struck a nerve with these 3 tracks and what a shock the Burg was finally a good surface for a USAC sprint car show after all of this. Another poster on this board stated how THAT was a track that got blasted and just went to work and made their track better. Last I heard he isn’t banned from there. Saying that a person could be killed is over the line for sure. One has to wonder how big of a pacifier Ole Phony Stewart needs after calling him a pissy baby.

Open some space in your nursery for Funk as well. Posts about things he has heard and can see how things work. Please,,,the two of you state concrete facts or stop posting. I’m tired of hearing how you guys know people and have sat in meetings with unnamed people. Blah blah blah.

It appears based on this decision by the sanctioning body there is no way the 12 could ever really be treated equally with other competitors based on their feelings being hurt. Such a shame since what little national respect USAC had left was from people who thought they were a gritty tough group of racers and club. Oh well enjoy your nursery, I hope while you sit on your carpet squares drinking your milk the racing is good since in the end that’s what this was all about. Good racing with equal effort from the teams and the tracks.
