In fairness to Bill I asked him about this scheduling conflict around 6 weeks ago and he told me that Waynesfield was supposed to have removed the date from their schedule. Not sure why they didn't update their website information.

I have heard that one definition of a good diplomat is, someone that could tell you to "go to hell" in such a nice way, that you would look forward to making the trip,
The Aug. date for the MMSA at waynesfield was contingent upon a date at Limaland the nite before,in an attempt to revive "Mini Sprint mania" It became a fact that this was not happening shortly after our May race at Waynesfield, at that time I spoke with Greg Shobe to remove the MMSA from the schedule, we had a lengethy discussion about the benefit of an outside sanction group to mini sprints at waynesfield, their car count is comparable to the MMSA without a pill draw fee, the payout is about the same, some of the regulars stayed home when an outside group came in, Waynesfield mini sprints are successful without the MMSA and I hope they continue to be. I told Greg the MMSA was always pleased with our treatment at waynesfield, He expressed no dissatfaction with the MMSA to me. The track had a change in operating personnel and apparently, somehow, the schedule was not revised. The date at Twin Cities was available and I accepted it, so now both tracks, approx. 150 miles apart, are racing, more cars will receive a payout, I fail to see a real conflict, which brings us back to my first statement. I will skip the "Diplomacy" and just say, Some posters on this thread, "Don't know what the hell they are talking about". Bill May |

Bill May you would make a great Ambassador to the UN. I think that was very diplomatic. I Hope you got your point across.
We got home and everything seemed to be Ok, hope to be there with bells on. Honest Dad himself ![]() ![]() |

Wish that would have worked out with Lima and Waynesfield. Would have been a great weekend of racing.

Did anyone look at the gas pumps. The price of gas has taken traveling very far away for many a team.
