Posted by: Doherty« on: July 16, 2007, 06:43:04 PM »Thayne you may think watching the four funs is boring but Four fun is a breading ground for great four cylinder drivers, such as Ben Melenhorst, Joe Ireton, Corey Lehman, Doug Bell, Nick Brown, John Kaszab, Harold Noseworthy, Joey Mctavish, Matt Box(whos now a top 10 runner in Late Model division at Delaware), Unlike the Charger division where we cant cut it in a normal four cylinder division and so they give us our own. I mean we run for 50 dollars to win, and they run for 50 dollars to win and they still have double to triple invested in there cars.(Now dont go into the saftey comparison, im just talkin motors, tires, rims, etc.) And dont call it boring starting almost 20 four fun on a thursday when you only start 20 chargers on a normal night compared to our 30+. And a last lap corner 4 pass in the four fun feature and mostly 3 wide racing isnt that boring.

Take for instance a boring as wtaching paint dry 4 fun race...Spencer really made it half +++ decent to watch...without him and his enthusiasm i woulda left after the Thunders....

Posted by: SpencerLewis« on: July 15, 2007, 11:19:14 PM »allow me to introduce you to mathematics
second year ends in April, third year begins in September. I was born in December, therefore I graduated and began university at 17 in the first year of university I was 17 for the duration of first semester, and 18 for second semester this would mean that in second year, I would be 18 for the duration of first semester and 19 for second semester I will begin third year in less than 2 months at the age of 19 if you could do calculations like these on your own, maybe your "points" would carry some sort of validity Posted by: joeyw« on: July 15, 2007, 11:01:52 PM »Spence please forgive me for calling you dumb you are a genius a third year honors law student at 19, you must have graduated at 15 or 16 my god you do know how many grains of sand are in the pits at Sunset.
Posted by: SpencerLewis« on: July 15, 2007, 10:28:29 PM »exactly, i mean, the fact that I'm a third year honours law student is a direct example of how dumb I am
swing and a miss once more joey.... Posted by: joeyw« on: July 15, 2007, 10:24:55 PM »would my 'limited racing backround' have anything to do with the fact that I'm NINETEEN?!?!
What do they say young dumb and (its a family site). Posted by: SpencerLewis« on: July 15, 2007, 10:13:18 PM »and if YOU go back one post, you will see my admittance that perhaps our concessions are lacking in comparance to other tracks
furthermore, would my 'limited racing backround' have anything to do with the fact that I'm NINETEEN?!?! wow....I really wish I could also go on about how great 1968 was...only problem is I hadn't been conceived yet Posted by: Pinecrest« on: July 15, 2007, 09:57:34 PM » You make it pretty hard for anyone to take you serious Spencer since you need not go back any further then the thread I started about the invitational to see where I mentioned the weeds had been cut and the grandstands had been repaired properly among other things.
I was working at race tracks before you had ever seen one and have worked at more of them then you have been to. If you really think the consessions at Sunset are spectacular you are delusional and going into this discussion I realized you had a very limited racing background but I did think you could be some what objective or at least honest but I see you can be neither. Posted by: joeyw« on: July 15, 2007, 09:51:37 PM »Spence that's cool you are a loyal soldier and a true worthy representative of Sunset,and Glen's philosphy. Maybe if there is any Draino left you could pass it on to the canteens.Instead of addressing the problem you say there is no problem. Its a Dumpster worthy of your eloquent management and announcing skills,if you think that the condition of Sunset speedway is fine then your standards in life must leave a lot to be desired.
Posted by: SpencerLewis« on: July 15, 2007, 09:41:33 PM »in our defense
if the one thing we're "behind the curve on" is our concessions, I feel we're doing a spectacular job for what it's worth, until you work at the speedway, you really have no understanding as to how difficult it is to find reliable help case in point, the concessions on that particular night at the other end of the speedway, drivers were delighted and overwhelmed with the service they received from our tech staff, pit gate staff, promoter etc..... if you insist on coming back to sunset with the intention of bad mouthing everything, try, just once, to focus on the positive aspects it may add some credibility to your "reviews" Posted by: Pinecrest« on: July 15, 2007, 09:27:32 PM » It would be very easy to goof on several aspects of you personally and your lack of a racing background but I think I will take the high road here .
Spencer the consessions at Sunset are horrible for many of the reasons I have pointed out . The lack of any adult supervision of the kids that work in them to the many unhygienic practices . On Thursday night during a slow period at the concession stand my girlfriend went up up to the counter to get coffees and two of the young boys that work in there were sitting on the counter where the food is served . She politely told the boys that many people would not care for people sitting on a counter where there food was being served to witch the kids rolled their eyes and hopped off the counter . Going from there to the condiments table that was a total pig pen and obviously hadn't been wiped down maybe all night she discovered someone had filled the sugar dispenser with salt . Try to remember this is a woman that was none to happy the last time she went to Sunset and I had to talk into going back . She also attends about 15 to 20 nights of short track racing a season but guess what I bet there is no way in hell I can talk her into going back to Sunset this year. There were several other instances I could state but since your attitude is what it is I really don't see a point in it . For what its worth I have attended races at Sunset since the place opened in 68 and under every owner the place has ever had so I have seen the place run right and run wrong . You really should get out there and see how places like Barrie , Mosport , Oshweken , Merritville , Oswego , Lancaster . Rolling Wheels etc are doing things because you just might find out how behind the curve Sunset really is . My girlfriend and I speak to racers and race fans pretty much every day of the week and will be more then happy to convey our experiences and your attitude as representative of those of the track. Posted by: SpencerLewis« on: July 15, 2007, 09:24:31 PM »and regarding your comparison of my offer to Steve Slaughter's similar offer.
I have been in the pits every single week, shaking hands and speaking with drivers. we have not had ONE complaint from anyone involving anything but an on-track incident so the LAST thing we need, is ignorant morons like you two coming to the track simply to nitpick and criticize everything from the time they enter the gates to the time they drive home unlike you two, I am able to visit every other track in Ontario and, get this, ENJOY THE GODDAMN RACING I realize this is a foreign concept to you lot, but it is entirely possible * too strong* Posted by: joeyw« on: July 15, 2007, 09:00:00 PM »Spence even your reply is so complex and dry l have to drink a six pack of brador before l can comprehend what you are saying, my parched throat reminds me of the time Vic Parsons went screaming through the pits during a caution he was kicking up so much dust l had to use a flash light to find my way to the concession stand.
