take a page out of the old exhibition hobby car racing book, and force the top 10 to move up....

Good idea but that wouldn't work in this case as the 91 came in 14th, and it would force drivers like Tara Case, Jayson and Phil Dennis into Four Cylinders. Maybe it should be tied to finishing averages (not including DNFs).

Can any of you tell me how the car claim works ? If its what i think maybe dropping the car claim amount to $400.00 would help !!!! I mean after all nobody makes any money racing cars .

Taken from the rules on the Sunset Speedway website...

Claim Rule: Anyone can claim any car in this class for $700. Claimer to deposit $50 cash with Tech department before any race. Balance of cash to be paid within 5 minutes of race finish. If claimer changes his or her mind, $50 goes to claimee. If claimee refuses, $50 goes back to claimer, claimee car and driver are suspended for four race nights and they forfeit all money owed and all points to date.

the thing about 'MAKING' people move up spencer, is that the four cylendar class, to COMPETE takes a lot more money than it does for the four fun. A championship 4 banger sells for around 5 large, not 500 bux. The fact is some people can't afford this type of cost, especiallyw he ur buying tires and because ur heads shaved u have to run 110 and things of that nature. The payouts for some people are not enough to make it work. I like the idea, but i think it will push a lot of people out of the sport.

Just a quick comment here , Mark why do you dislike my son so much, he has always been very proud to represent Sunset Speedway . Kyle is part of a family that has supported the speedway since the new ownership !!!! Anyway you show your true colors right on the website. You talk about the last feature for the four fun's and talk about the first , second , forth and fifth place cars , hmmmm what happened to the 3rd place car oh yes geesh it was that #91 car. Don't forget that if all those racers choose for you not to take there picture you wouldn't have a job there. !!!!! Maybe in the future you can act professionally and not get so twisted about racing that you should not have any control over. :lol:

Ted, I pose the same question to you as it was YOUR actions on Sunday that started this. If I am "just a photographer" as you and your boys say, why was it necessary to shout expletives at me when Kyle was being black flagged? I could understand it if you thought I was an official, but since you guys don't feel I am one then why lash out? Nothing adds up Ted.

I have no "hatred" for your son. Honestly, I believe he has talent. But his earned black flags through the course of the season should speak for themselves and you have no right to turn that anger about that towards me. Talk to an "official".

You raise a good point about the cost of a championship car. How did it get to this point so quickly? Why does it cost $5000 to have a championship car in what was designed to be an entry level class? I think that more control has to be placed on the lower class cars to ensure that they don't cost that much to put together a championship car.

i no i for sure would be done racing if i had to move up to the four cylinder divison. i would be able to throw a car together half-a** but it would only have a cage in it, no motor or suspension work as it is all way too techniccal for me.

Sorry for that name calling Mark , just so happens you were first on sight . However it did come from that little comment i made to you about you not being happy in taking Kyles picture again..... seems to me you had the problem then and I'm sure ill never understand why , but that's okay now , you dealt the cards where they lay and may i remind you , that yes you were hear before me on this site and not once did i hide from anyone including you . And for any of you my son has not commented anything on this site. I did how ever get a call about what was posted on this site and really bashing the track or owner was for sure not appropriate. Just maybe next time you want to blame someone for something leave there name off , and further more I'm sure you read the other emails that were in fashion in defense for Kyle .... too bad you don't see it that way.

This is a comment towards the guy who said Honda's are not good race cars , well it doesn't matter much to me but if i had my choice of race car i for sure would rather drive a car that uses its hind gears to get around . The front wheel drive cars are much harder to drive ...... hats off to the front wheel drive runners , whether it be a Honda , Toyota or whatever.

Thanks to those who replied for Kyles defense its nice to see that i was not the only person seeing this stuff go on. And to all who may have or not noticed i was out of province and had a picture sent to me of a car that had flipped over, I'm thankful the driver was not hurt but the picture truly shows the bottom side of the car exposing the exhaust . The exhaust was not stock it was an actual funnel , it went from the exhaust manifolds collector and then funneled out to about a 6 inch exhaust ( is this legal ? ) Just wondering.

Great site though too bad the postings got out of hand !!!!!

Glad to see it has toned down. It makes us all look bad when we get into a fight amongst each other.

I know it sometimes happens when we all voice our opinions and they are not the same but we need to take a step back and ask ourselves is this what we want to be reading on the site.

Yes there are sites that encourage this and it just makes their site look bad.

Thanks for all the apology emails.

The Big 6 Inch chrome thing was just for show the stock pipe was in the middle. Collin told me the story one night, it was on there for that specific reason to get people riled up over it.

hi thayne

hey spence...haha....

just to point out, my motor this season was completely junk yard, head and all, and I ran new tires and things of the like. I cracked the top 20 i think 4 times...i spent about 2500 this year after buying the car and all expenses. It just isnt fun getting lapped numerous times. I got the had shaved for Pdot and they shaved the worng one, I still put it on but had terrible valve flap.

Anyways, next year my car will be championship caliber, but i agree, it is a shame it takes this kind of money to run up there. I hope to be one of the ones up 'there' this upcoming season, but I think maybe chanigng the four funs to pure stock and then having a 4 cylendar modified class wuld be beneficial to the sport. Car counts would go down, but i think the racing would be more competetive.

Being a forum there will be disagreements. This si the most civilised argument i have ever seen on a forum and I admin three. There is nothing wrong in my opinion with what has gone on here after reading the posts. Heated debate is aweosme and it is what makes a forum interesting. Whatever is said should nto be taken to heart and is jsut ones opinion. There is no need to spout off at each other, but heated debates about cdrtain things such as the four funs rubbings is aweosme discussion.

I agree, and there will always be different opinions, thats healthy. I have had to go through the posts and *** out some curse words. We encourage opinions, but this site is read by younger people too, so we don't want cursing and or bashing.
