...Please don't make me out to be just some dumb broad that is over opinionated!!!!
Hey guys sorry if I offended anyone on here. The spelling thing was more of a joke, my kids spell the same way, I wasn't born yesterday I understand that's just slang!!As far as making mistakes damn straight I do. Right now I am keeping track of 140 registered drivers in all 4 divisions. That doesn't mean that they are at the track each night but their points etc still have to be worked out.When I took over On June 7th, Sunset already had 5 nights under it's belt for racing. I took home the score sheets (might I add that had been done on scrap paper) I spent hours of my own time working out the best finishes possible. Do you realize how hard this was, I had to literally go car by car, lap by lap for each car in every divison. Over and over again for five nights to get the numbers I did and be as accurate as I could be.I was origionally told that the feature line ups were based over the last three nights of running. I included the heat points in these totals only to find out I think it was two weeks later that it was based on the feature points only and it was the highest 3 points nights out of the last 5 run. Anyway this definately makes a difference in starting line ups and the changes were made. I primarily have been working on my own in the tower with little to no back up. I have been able to get Karen Case to come back on board with us (there is a god) as Karen and I work awesome together. Although Karen has some previous commitments and can't be there everynight.Might I add I was asked to handicapp and score the features. Right now I'm scoring all heat races and handicapping and yes your right it's causing errors to be made. But like I've told you before and I'll say it again when I'm approached I do the best I can to correct the problem.And Mark you might have been at Sunset for 4+ years but I've spent a lifetime there, even watched it being built. I have been apart of racing from every angle, my father built the track and raced on it in the early years, my brother raced, my stepfather raced, I've toured every track in Ontario and the majority of the states. Please don't make me out to be just some dumb broad that is over opinionated!!!! Not that this is anyones fault but I have a demanding job and lately have had to work 60+ hours a week and I'm sure this probably hasn't helped in the mistake department....
If you had of read in my post we have Karen on board to help out.Mistakes I don't care if 10 people are up there to do the job they are gonna happen.As far as not being able to do the job I kept track of over 250 cars one year for Steve Slaughter in the wonder years and had no difficulty. It honestly hasn't helped starting part way thru the season.But username if it would make you happy I could quite tonight and have fun racing. That's how silly you sound!!!It's no like every other person out on the street has experience handicapping or scoring stock cars. Trust me I'd love help but it's not that simple.Username in a perfect world there would be no mistakes, unfortunately that's impossible!!!!

Well I don't remember anywhere along the line calling you a "dumb broad", so unless you're joking please don't put words in my mouth Deb. But the 10 dollar comment was not called for. Since you profess to have been so involved in the track in year's past, put yourself in a driver's shoes just for a few minutes and think how they feel right now.Believe it or not I respect what you have on your plate there (remember I did all the points and stat from 2004-2006 so I know what it is about). But others have opinions here too.Mark
Mark for a man that is not a racer, not a pit crew, and not a sponsor of any cars that I am aware of you sure have a lot to say! is that because you are an OPP OFFICER and you think that you comments merit more notice than others? or are you just a Joker trying to stir things up?Either way I am not impressed with some of you remarks! and I know some of it stems from the fact that you wee fired from Sunset(?)but remarks like this are on called for(But the 10 dollar comment was not called for. Since you profess to have been so involved in the track in year's past, put yourself in a driver's shoes just for a few minutes and think how they feel right now.)This ladys father built this track! and he also raced on it ! and when I took it over he helped me a great deal getting started! he is a friend of all racers and a friend of anyone who knew him!He was a great father, and grand father !Now for your Question, (put yourself in a driver's shoes just for a few minutes and think how they feel right now.) ? am I missing something here?How do the fans and the sponsors and the owners feel???We don't all get a great paycheck from the OPP each week. we have to work hard to earn our money! not beeing nasty just a coment.
Mark save your breath bud, it just aint worth it!!!! All I can say is after my Dad and I spent the better part of 30 years at Sunset you now see why I'm glad I'm smart enough not to attend races there now!!! Hope to see you and Mel at BSW soon bud and say hi to her for me!!! So when did you become a cop buddy??? LOL
