All the anti ROAR guys go to Fort Wayne, all the ROAR members go to Lansing.

I am very pro-ROAR and with a comment like that I will not be racing in Fort Wayne as I guess I won't be allowed to nor do I want to now. I'm not able to go to Regionals due to work and I was going to come and race on sunday but I see no reason to now.

Brian Anthony

no nothing I have run since the early 90's was ROAR

All the anti ROAR guys go to Fort Wayne, all the ROAR members go to Lansing.

Is that your attitude towards anyone not running at your place? I guess that would explain the less then stellar turnout from the Fort Wayne crowd at the first round of the CRL....

Brian: what kinda talk is that I did not say one thing bad about ROAR but if you want to strech it to that then fine maybe I will not race in FORT WAYNE either because I would not want to hurt your WHATEVER so you go to FT. Wayne and race and with a hollier than ROAR ATTITUDE, I think I will find other places to race than with you.

I do not under stand how you could get that from BENs post either, to me it was a JK but WHATEVER you the man

greg; the poor turn out from Ft Wayne was due to the race date not the attitude I e-mailed Kieth on that subject, besides didn't other people take one race off in the past two years I myself and others have missed 2 CRL events and we will go to the rest this year if welcome

Poor turn out here in the fort is not due to anything more than a multi day, wrong day type thing you and I talked about this last weekend I am sure we did.

Tracey,

I never quoted what you said nor did I say anything about what you said. Where are you getting my WHATEVER? I've tried to race the past two weeks on friday and no one showed up.

I guess because I support ROAR Ben wouldn't want me there to race.

Brian

Tracey, my post was not designated towards you, or anything we talked about last weekend, so don't get your panties all in a twist! It was towards what Ben said. You as well as EVERYONE else more then welcome at all the CRL events, yes, even the "Team Driver's..." ha ha :jest: If I had something to say to you dirctly, i would of PM'd you...



And as for Ben's comments about

"All the anti ROAR guys go to Fort Wayne, all the ROAR members go to Lansing."

Labeling someone just because of where they race at is a bad habit... If you need any proof of that just ask all the folks up in Grand Rapids...

OK sorry. not to defend him I think it was a joke

Ben your on your own

:tongue:

I love all the anger and hostility expressed here! :devil:

BB2 or would that rather be Xpressed... ha ha ha

yes I thought I had that right from the bash Keith posts

:)

Right, left, who cares! As long as the imfamous "Evil Mr. Floppy Ears" doesn'y get you!

you got that sh_t right

Whoa... let's slow down a bit...
One racer makes an off-the-cuff comment about the "anti-ROAR" racers going to Ft. Wayne, and now the track is "anti-ROAR"? The remarks made by some individuals on this board do not represent the track in any way. If you will check the November race calendar (http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/myhomepage/Novembercalendar.html) on the Summit Raceway website, you will notice the Region 5 road race promoted, as well as the dates for CRL races #2, #3 and #4. Sunday's race here is just that, a Sunday race in November, so it was called a 'Cleveland Warm-up'. There are a bunch of guys in the Ft. Wayne area that will probably never race at a Roar race, or travel to an out-of-town CRL race. They are just local racers, and this is an opportunity for them to come out on a weekend to race, as well as the more 'seasoned' racers that apparently did not make plans for the ROAR race this weekend. Why they are, or are not going to Lansing is something that is up to each of them... it has nothing to do with the track. The same can be said for the first CRL race of the season. There was no road race scheduled here in Ft. Wayne on the date of that race. If guys didn't go to the CRL race, they just didn't race.
I'm excited about having a CRL race in Ft. Wayne this year, and plan to attend. I have never been to an CRL race previously. That is a personal decision, based upon my family situation at this time. With a teenage son playing high school basketball, my winter weekends are spoken for. As much as I love to race, it's a distant 2nd place compared to that.
All I'm saying is, that attending any race is a personal decision, not a track decision. We're all just trying to get along here the best we can, and find great places to race when we get the chance.

Greg, You and Kieth need to understand something regarding the turnout at the first CRL. Fort Wayne wasn't the only ones that didn't go to that race. Chuck and Terry R. were not there, either! Lee and I weren't quite ready yet. Lee was still working on full scale cars and my son and I were still racing go-karts the night before the CRL race. We decided to go run at toledo just to knock the rust off our equipment. We have always supported the CRL races in the past! And we will be at all the rest of them this season. As for the roar issue, we in fort wayne do not have a problem with it. As you know our track is new. We want to stay home this weekand and help Phil out. He mistakenly scheduled a warm-up race this weekend so we're staying here. Lee, Tracey and I try to race at all the tracks within a reasonable driving distance. Kieth should know us well enough that we will support him with the CRL. Everyone misses a race once in a while!!!

Tracey, I'm surprised the offroad gas thing doesn't require ROAR; all the gas onroad stuff does

Wow oh wow. That was really taken out of context but reading it now I see why, man I did not mean to offend anyone. I guess meant to state what I have observed, basically some guys not attending the regionals b/c of the ROAR membership. That's it. Nothing more. I will edit it to be more PC. Sorry :confused:

Is that your attitude towards anyone not running at your place? I guess that would explain the less then stellar turnout from the Fort Wayne crowd at the first round of the CRL....

No. I should have thought about my wording more. Sorry. I should have said that the ROAR membership requirements make it prohibitive to some racers(oh well). I didn't re-read it before I posted it, was the end of lunch break. Personally I didn't go b/c I was up there the week before for the Midwest Series race and didn't budget for two Detroit trips in a month sorry. I should probably say right now that I can't make the Lansing CRL for family stuff after that I should be able to make all of them. See ya Friday Greg :wave:

you got that sh_t right

:jest:

Ron, i know this!!! duh! I was making comments in regards to what Ben said...

Ben,
Ok, as long as that's how you mean it all's well that ends well.. ;) See you then!

CRL events and we will go to the rest this year if welcome .

You guys are always welcome to come race with me. I can't wait to run 1/12th scale against Ronny and Lee.

Greg, You and Kieth need to understand Ron F. :thumbsup:

Hold up. Ron - don't put me as part of the Brian and Greg show. Whatever Greg and Brian say in here is their words and have nothing to do with the organizer of the CRL. We missed you at the first one. No hard feelings. I love racing with you guys. The 1/12th scale main would have been really complicated adding the Ft. Wayne crowd. You missed a great race. I just wanted to make sure you guys didn't fall off the face of the earth. See you in two weekends.

GREEN SNOWPLOW

you got that s_it right

spelled diffrent to throw off the TOOLBOX Bro's :wave:

That's ok, anyone that can find Avilla, IN on the map probably can not spell correctly anyways....

One of the deciding factors of Phil and I both agreeing with the idea of racing on-road through the week was to give the local racers the opportunity to race and support the CRL. Both Phil and I realize the importance of the CRL to many of the local racers and Summit Raceway will do whatever we can to support this series. :thumbsup:

Dale, racing should be done on weekends. There are only 5 CRL races each season. Only 2 to 4 local racers go to those races and none of them race during the week in fort wayne anyways!!
Ron F. :confused:

Phil tells me that the new carpet has arrived. This is quite a move by CRC to make it right. I commend them. Thanks Frank. So, is there anything onroad for this comming Friday evening. I would like to make the trip. It would be "on the way to Cleveland" for me. Any onroad takers for this Friday?

If the track is getting new, new carpet installed, will there be any racing this week?

I don't know exactly when the carpet is scheduled to be replaced, but there will be club night road racing tonight (Tuesday). We hope to get a pretty good turnout ... both 1/12 scale and touring cars. Racing at 7:00. Hope to see you there.

davidl, Lee Harpe and I will not be there on friday. Harpe did say he might stop by in his cheerleading outfit to give you some support! You can call Phil Z. and see if he and anyone else will be there. Call 260-471-2722. See ya at the champs!
Ron F.

OKAY, Ronnie. I like calling you that cause it makes you sound like a young pup, not the old gezer you really are. I have too many irons in the fire for Friday, so I will see you guys in Cleveland either this weekend or Wednesday.

The Original Old Gezer
David Lee

lee, check your private messages! :dude:

Guys , will there be onroad practice on the 24th. the Saturday before the CRL race? Or is that going to be a Oval race that night?

Greg,
I don't know for sure, but I would expect all day Saturday to be practice for the CRL, with possibly a 'club' race that night. I'll check with Phil and Dale at racing tonight, and get back to you here, with an answer.

Scott Heath

Ron,
Where have you been.

Steve D.

Steve, where have you been? I've been racing!! Mainly in Toledo, some in Fort Wayne. Have you been going to Cinci or what? CRL race in toledo this weekend. Hear rumors of a track in Indy. Know anything about that?

Ron F.

Is paragon legal on this carpet track?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the size of the carpet track is 78'X48'?

Yes it is, and the shop has all brands if you care to run something else.

Hole shot,
The track size is 80 x 36, and as Ben said, Paragon is legal.

So, was everyone sick in "da Fort" this weekend besides Fogie and the Fergies?

I'm gonna roll out to ft. wayne tomorrow. What time does it open? 4?

You should roll out too, Greg, so I can bum your batts and run some mod!! lol

na, it's a little thing called work I have to do...

You need to quit. Much more free time to race! Get your priorities straight!
