Bmotb I heard some teams question wether they would let sportsman pit outback. That is sad that they won't open the pitgates during victorylane for the
latemodels or before the 50lap enduro. jmo

No we will not pit any sportsman out back! We can't let the sportsman teams leave or we would have a huge parade of rigs that would hold up the show and
also the next division is prestaged in the back pit ready for their race! Sorry for the inconveince!

Then pit us outside and put them inside.. Simple resault to the problem. But that won't happen

Griff has a good idea, Kevin call Justin and bring it to his attention. Tell him the fans will like the tall rigs out of the inside.

Call Justin directly, he is at least reasonable and is very, very intelligent, not like the pseudo promoter we are asking that can't really make any
decisions anyway. Justin is the only one that can make a decision at the Grove anymore!

Go ahead and call justin he will talk to you! Unfortunetly with 4 divisions we need to be able to pit 2 divisions in each pit. I don't think we could get
all the sportsman in the back pit and if we did we there is no way we could get 3 divisions in the center pit! We must pit the divisions that brings the most
cars and the division bringing the least cars in the center pit and the other 2 divisions in the back pit! Now the enduro race is 30 laps not 50, and if we let
sportsman teams exit before the enduro several other problems arise! First the enduro cars are all prestaged ready to race. second, it would be at least a 20
minute delay to let everyone out. Third, Everyone would be stopping at pay shed to pick up money creating a back log back across the track.

Somebody talk to Frankie and have him speak to Justin. Its a done deal if Frankie tells Justin what he wants. Also, why do we or the Grove really care about
the other 3 junk stock car divisions and having them delayed. We are the only ones that really matter and bring all of the fans that pay the purses as our car
count is almost as much as the other divisions combined!!!!!! Another solution, bring the pay to our trailer to speed up the process. I thought we are the
customer and you know the customer is ALWAYS right.

Although the sportsman are my favorite division, the other 3 divisions (junk as you called them) are also very serious racers and put on equally good shows!
You win however, I surrender....you wait at your trailer Friday and we will bring you your pay!

Now all we need is a purse increase to cover our expenses or at least half of our nightly expenses since we are THE SHOW. |

Spoken like a true promoter. You really must be in training. I'm sorry for doubting you promotional skills. You must have learned from the best. Same
purse since 1994.

Rigs are a lot bigger and remember we would also have the 4 cyl's or enduro's to pit with them! Plus I also think that many sportsman teams don't
want to pit out back!

We just want to leave when we are finished. Don't punish us by sticking through the whole long program of other divisions!!!!! The fans can leave after
our feature, so should we have that opportunity

I understand that, really I do, but if we leave one leave we must let all 40 leave and we want to finish the show so we can leave! I wish we had a pit set up
like Lincoln! With that in mind remember at Lincoln this saturday are the 410 sprints, super sportsman and the 358 late models, so their pit will be
overflowing!

I think something could be worked out like during the victory lane photos and bluh bluh bluh they could open the gate up to let a few out. Then they would have
to put the stop sign up and close it to go back racing. I don't understand why that can't be done. But again that means we all would have to work
together. And in case anyone has missed it nobody works with anyone it's all about the person controling the saturday night program and what he wants.
Nobody asked us (when I say us I mean the Super Sportsman teams) about this new axle. Nobody asked us about anything anymore. So what we(Super Sportsman Teams) have to say means nothing. We're better off talking to the local farmer about his crops and the weather men.

I understand both sides of this issue, and I don't like having to stay until the end as much as
anyone else.....especially when the temps drop like they did on Saturday. I was freezing! Anyway, I still prefer to be in the infield pits where I can
watch the races while I wipe mud off the car, for this I will wait until the racing is complete.
My biggest problem is that some of the teams line up along the front stretch fence waiting to leave, then I can't even watch the races I have to stay to watch. All I can see is the side of someone's trailer and smell the diesel fumes from their rig....now there is an issue that should be easier to be dealt with.

sportsman. The cars weigh 1900 pounds, or there abouts. They got small wings, manual steering and its the best show."  ....Lynn Paxton

There is an even easier solution to all of this. Run the super sportsman last. Then they won't be crying to get out of the pits earlier. They can sit
and watch the rest of the other three divisions that usually have to sit and watch them all night long. And, by the way, super sportsman drivers and teams put
their pants on the same as the rest of the other divisions drivers and teams. Not sure why a select few of you make the comments that the other divisions are
junk and the super sportsman are the stars. Do you really think the super sportsman alone could sustain a Saturday night program. I think not. The other
divisions bring as much money through the pit gate with their teams and spend the same amount of money on fuel to race. All divisions should be treated equal.
For a super sportman driver, team member or fan to degrade another driver or division is not true sportsmanship at all. If the drivers stop to think about
it, most of those sportsman drivers started their careers in another division before moving up. So at one time, they drove those divisions too.
