Many times the written word is misunderstood...Looks like Don was thinking out loud...That is the definition of a forum....It is fair to bring up the subject...Don...it was the "bathroom" comment that got the attention.

Without controversy though...how many people would be coming back to this forum as often?...

Let's not take it too serious...

I didn't notice...no one told me it had been moderated at all? I have never been afraid of a little message board battle, even when they get personal like that did, so I'll go find it and give you a response. Happy? I think you need to hit some races - you obviously need a break or somethin'...

Tony, First read the PM I sent you. This is in addition to that.

At no time did I say the Rumble series was bad. Man there was racing all day and half the night. The PA could be louder but I don't hate it. Its hard for me to get to FT Wayne, Expecially when ICE is still covering the streets yet its a 50* day LOL

No, Im not a particular fan of pavement racing. There are those here that would rather have pavement racing and thats cool by me too. And there are those who are die hard BOTH fans. To them is say thumbs up.

Yeah Tony pulled the LF a bit, I guess the no rooster tails thin applys. Nobody can tell me a rack and pinion doesn't have a advantage over a drag link. Expecially in very short track racing. DM's car and Matt Westfall were very competitive. and a couple others at the FT W show I made. Call me crazy but weren't Munchkins 1-3 in the feature? I don't discredit the drivers, Not one bit.

Chuck, again. I like the Rumble series, Great event. Expecially for the up and comming as well. Dirt would add the WILD FACTOR to it and its just MHO.

Charles,

I always enjoy your posts...Your one of the good guys...

Just a clarification...Stewart had the left front up most of the way around the track at Fort Wayne in 1999 in the Vogler Chassis Wild Goose...Started from the back of the pack..17th...and put on a CLINIC...going to the front...It was as exciting as anything I have seen..The Munchkins have finished 1-2 before...but conventional cars have been 123 more often by far....The Munchkin ran twice with us at the RCA Dome.....And David Gough one one..Dave Darland the other in a Shores VW....Why didn't the Munchkin breeze to victory then?

Just pointing out the facts..

DOn't count this negative. I encourage all fans and racers to get out and go see some good/great racing at the rumble! I'll be back!

I met Don Moore at this event. He was far from all negative as seen on this board. Sung the national anthem and loves the country and racing. I'll never speak for him. But I found him likeable and receptive. Just for owning and trying to race is a statement of his love for the sport. For that I say THANK YOU as I do to all who put on a show for us.

Chuck

I think it is fair to discuss what people have seen at Kemper Arena last year...How many people would you estimate were in the grandstands?...I find it hard to tell from video.

I can usaully see your side of the debates but.... don't you run the rumble in FW? it seems to be about the same size?

First night was tough. A lot of yellows had the thing running WAY late night 1. Ventilation was not good night 1. Tony and others worked the track for night 2. They opened up the building for ventilation. As I understood it - good racing - cold cold cold night 2. If they sort out the ventilation without frostbitin' everyone there and the track is done right from the start - it will be a fun event.

I wasn't there the first night. Night two was less than crowded... We were able to sit wherever we wanted.

Hey I'm all good and happy. Are you missing the "smileys" and "winks" in my responses. Maybe it's you that's stressed? Maybe a messege board break to clear your head? <---WINK.
Btw, don't shoot the messenger, just passing along info.
David.
ps...nice deflection btw, goes well with the mysterious thread "technical difficulties". Yes, we all noticed. Don't forget to do that expense report!
