Twin Cities turns cars away!

4/27/08, 12:00 PM

Ship Jumper,

Most importantly I will say that NO PERSON was cuzzed at! We don't encourage it or tolerate it. If I happen to hear a foul mouth, I ask the person to please watch their mouth because we try to promote a family friendly enviroment and YES the crate cars were turned away because of obvious circumstances.

Thanks for every driver and fan that attended last night

Mason and I sincerely appreciate each and every person that supported us last night.

Best wishes,

We had a tough time trying to get out of the place because these people were pulling in with their rigs right after the sprint feature ended! Any promotor that would allow cars to come at the end of the evening and tag onto a feature is a fool. You've got the guys that support you for the entire evening (and possibly every week) and then you're going to put them in a position of possibly being crashed out of the race by, or at the very least, lose positions to, someone who comes from competing at a rival track that night????? That's crazy, whether they're running for money, or not. Next week, once the show starts, put up a barrier out front that is only wide enough to allow passenger vehicles into the grounds. That way when those of us who have been there the entire night are done with our features, we can get out of the place without dodging these people showing up at 11:00pm. GOOD CALL, FLEETWOODS!!!!!!!!

OOPS!! I should've read the other posts more carefully. Mine is somewhat redundant. SORRY!

I appreciate the you guys trying to run a clean show but while we were at the pit gate whomever was working it radioed someone and asked if we could race and the response from the person over the radio included the cuss words you are referring to.

Don't get me wrong, Im not mad at you, You were trying to make a race. But you darn near put me in the ditch comming down the road at 40mph. It's nearly one lane and the speed limit is 25.

As for turning you away? they were getting the payout ready. I've heard of being late and being put on the tail of a heat or consi but not just show up and run a feature.

Best wishes for you the remainder of the season. Sounds like you got to race last night. You shouldn't be too upset.

Ship J umper, I too had a radio and MASON'S EXACT WORDS were and I quote, " Absolutely not, they chose to go to B'town and race and our feature cars are set."

This will be my last post in regards to this matter. Those who know Mason and I or know of us will believe the true side to this.

Charles, They scared they heck out of me!! I went off the road to prevent being hit, no big deal though, I was wondering where they were going in such a hurry. I thought they was just hoping to watch some friends race. We would of said the same thing to them, you just can't show up and race the feature. I give them a A for effort, they are true die hard racers for sure.
Take care, Dave

the fleetwoods are liars...since moon couldnt race because they raced at Brownstown, why did you let Brad Cummings, who finished FIFTH AT BROWNSTOWN THAT NIGHT, come in and race your super stock feature??? Since "the feature fields were already set?

Charles and Dave I am very sorry for the road deal. My employer instructed me to get to Twin Cities as fast as I could, and thats what I did. Once again I am very sorry for that. My number is 317-605-1245 call me for a personal apology.

There does appear to be a double-standard here. Saturday's results posted on the Brownstown Speedway website show Brad Cummings competing in a Super Stock heat race and feature there. Checking the Twin Cities results show Brad Cummings finishing 5th in the feature...
