Spiker and Allison are both responsible (as per the lease agreement) for the points fund. Allison will pay his portion, which is about 2/3 because that's how many races he ran, when the 1099's go out as always. Spikers portion, you'll need to contact him to see when he plans to pay what he owes the racers.

So when my tire sponsor drops out next year, you won't mind if I charge all my tires to your credit card? Hey, you don't care what my deal is, but I still need someone to pay for my tires.

I can't believe people are throwing Spiker under the bus this quickly AND they're taking Allison's word over Spiker? LOL! What a crazy world this is

So how many years did you not get your point money, when there was an announced point fund Lloyd? I realize there was a year when no one got any point money, but none was promised.

Spikers office is the one that said there was no money. Allison said he will be paying his portion as per the lease agreement, If Joe doesn't pay his portion, it will be a violation of said lease agreement, as I am told.


Therefore USAcfan Spiker is getting thrown under the bus because people in his office are saying there is no point money, plain and simple.

It took every dime I had to win that championship and for what... a stupid jacket? By the way how many cars showed up to the first 5 races in 2004? I think the average was about 12 - 15. Mom always said you should learn from your mistakes.
Calculate this.
20 Races
15 people @ $25 a pit pass per night
$7500 in pit pass money for 1 Team for the season. That doesn't include my family and friends on the front stretch and all the money we spent while we were there. To even read this post has me ready to blow a gasket. We ( RACERS) spend thousands of dollars to put on a show for our fans and the fact we LOOSE money if we don't run in the top 2 at LPS is crazy. But we do it because we love this sport. The least you could do is try to help us stay on the track. It cost an average of $600 a night for me to run LPS so to see that it paid $450 for 3rd. Its 2009 and we are racing for the same money my old man did when we came back here in 89.

Dear Promoter/Owner of LPS
I plan on running this track again next year but I will not support someone who cheats THE RACER. I hate the fact that DA has anything to do with LPS. It guys like this that drive good owners and sponsors away from this sport we love so much. I suggest someone at LPS pull there head out of there and get these boys paid or you won't be seeing me there next year.

What does the 2009 point fund have to do with your tires? And since you didn't sign your name, how are you associated with the sprint car points fund, or the points fund at all? I'm sure you aren't in the top 10 in points, since I've talked to all of them in sprints with the exception of the Carmichael's. It was Spiker's office who said there wasn't a points fund, not Dave Allison.

steve , Sorry to not get back to you been sick all week with flu. Havent talked to anyone about money but since DA had the track its payed the same as feature. Hell in 05 I even got two jackets won both sprints and stockcar points. that was last banquet also. Since then our money as came with our 1099s also as i remember we are never realy told at the beginning each year if there is any money for points. In all my years racing at lps we never got point untill bill hopton started. The farrars never did but always had a nice banquet, and awards , rookie of year , most inproved, hard luck in each class. Also gave jackets to anyone that raced there 100% so i guess we will just have to wait for our 1099s and see then we can have this thread agin LOL see you in the spring kenny
