I need Kenny Carmichael Sr, Kenny Carmichael Jr., Troy Link, Todd Kimmel, Russ Harper and Mike Fichesser to private message me with your phone number or email address about the situation with Lincoln Park Speedway's point fund. Thanks!

As per my own conversation with Steve from Spiker's office on Thursday, I asked when we might be getting our money from the points fund. I was told "there is no points fund, and there is no intention of paying one out this year". I told him that will make several people very unhappy, and that you will probably be getting quite a few phone calls. After this conversation, there have been several people stating different things, including that there was a deal between Mr. Allison and Mr. Spiker that Mr. Allison would pay the points fund, while Mr. Spiker was to pay for the year end bonfire bash and trophy's.
Spiker promotions is responsible for day to day operations of LPS, and, if there is agreement between Mr. Allison and Mr. Spiker then that's fine. However, we as the racers, who supported LPS every single week, should not have to chase any points fund money due to us. I just want to know the truth, whether the points fund will be paid, and when. If the points fund money is going to be paid, then Spiker's front office management should be made aware of this, which would stop the speculation that the points fund wouldn't be paid out.

Since no one else seems to want to just pick up the phone and call for answers about the points fund, here's what I found out when I did call.
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.

I guess it depends on who you talk to on any given day. You can see WE DID call Spiker's office (see posts above), and got different answers than others. It would be nice if Mr. Spiker and Mr. Allison would just post on here the REAL story from both, then all this speculation would go away. What a concept!

I understand your frustrations Grumpy Racer. What I posted was straight from Mr. Allison, and he wrote the lease agreement, so I guess the issue will be with Mr. Spiker.
