Good job #7 (888). But you other people need to learn how to DRIVE. It not no demo derby. Genesee County fair is in August.

keep kicking some butt chad

Thanks I had a awesome time sorry about your car pitbull, we will have to see what dixie will do holding our pay is not cool

I see your starting off right where you left off. Good job Chad plus you now have the best car # on the track.
Dave Camp & Billy the kid Meeks
fastory stock #7

im pretty sure it will have the ol'888 on the caddy very soon.

youre gonna have to be more specific billy... youre the dixie factory stock #7... not the autocity factory stock #7 just teasin ya...

great job chad! glad to see the caddy will have the whole windshield plastered with feature stickers in no time...

Whats the story on holding your pay Chad, and What happened to Pitbulls car?

Chad, a car spun the 0 car and x23 car out and it was a mess from than on.

i wasn't there but congrats chad. you are a very excellent driver and you did a really great job with the caddy at auto city. but on another note, people can say what they want but atleast joe dewitt doesn't hold anyones money back from them. it would be nice to see all the figure 8 drivers when ac opens the new figure 8. it will be another figure 8 that i think chad will dominate, lol.

chad can dominate at any track he runs...he is a hell of a driver...but dont forget chad is only one person on that team...he has a great mechanic as well....and together they put on a great show....now that he dont have the caprice...it was great watching him come through the field...he would put the car where it shouldnt of been...and make it stick....thats the stuff i love....thats racing...good job chad

WHAT???

I called dixie today they said they won't know anything untel wed.
For the pay and points for the FIG. 8. thats messed up. Hold your
pay like that.

If someones getting a DQ and they are going to review the tape for final verification. I understand it completely. You wouldnt want to finish say 2nd, and get paid for 5th would you? IMO they are reviewing everything and going to make the best decision.

JMO

it seems awful funny that ac gets it figured out before you get to the pay window so you can get your pay before you leave. but then again ac sends out the drivers pay for the banquet even if they don't show up. maybe mike kerns is just falling back into his old tricks again???? wouldn't surprise me.

I agree. These decisions should be made at the track the night of the race. The have video ready the night of the race they can review. This isnt NASCAR you shoulnt have to wait several days to see what fines will be levied to whom. Thats kinda silly. I didnt realize that Chad had started 14th to win that race. Wow good job as usual Chad. The Chadillac is looking like it is picking up where the caprice left off. Your season has certainly started off on a better note than mine.

Dixie also moves everyone else up in position for pay when there is a disqualification; if the winner gets DQ'ed, 2nd gets 1st place money, 3rd gets 2nd, etc. Auto City takes that money and puts it into a "points fund." and nobody gets moved up by position for the pay that they deserved.

Every track has its flaws.

That is true. That is the way it should be. I think Jane used to do that as well if I recall correctly. Fair is fair. If you finish 1st because the winner was dqed than you earn 1st not second. I am not trying to bash Dixie (I know I have in the past, but as far as Im concerned whats done is done.) I just think it is wrong to keep racers money from them. Sometimes you need it to get yourself back out the next week. I know I have an extremely tight budget for racing. I will also say AC has many flaws, and I really wish those tracks would work together. Wish in one hand and crap in the other........

I am not sure why the pay was held but they must have had some kind of reason. They would not do that for no reason.

I know that this is off topic, but I don't have as big of a problem with not being bumped in pay after a DQ if the money really is put into a points fund. The only proper way to do this is to establish a points fund in writing at the start of the year, and then a protocol for increasing the points fund after a DQ. For example, if a FS gets DQ'ed from 2nd, distribute that money back into the FS purse amongst the top 5 or something like that.

That would be better than not bumping the pay for everyone else at least.

I did not see the Fig-8 race in question, but I heard an awful lot of yelling afterward!

I also seen a lot of smashed up cars (looked like a demo derby got over) coming off the back shoot, along with the yelling!

How bad is your car ? Hope to see you back this Sat.

Lost the spindle, lower ball joint, upper a frame and rim. It will be a few weeks. Not ready for this weekend, and racing the late model the next two weekends. So probably mid-June before the 22 is back on track.

Just so you guys know. The new video guy is a Tool. The tower doesn't have review anymore and it is taking way to long for them to get a copy for review. When Grease Monkey Graphics agreed to let this guy take over, the prices were supposed to be the same, $7 for drivers $10 for specs. Looks like that is out the window.

if that is the case then why should drivers wait to get paid for mike's inadaquicies to hire the right people for the job? he has owned and run the track long enough to know things like this would come up. atleast there is no hassles getting paid at the window at auto city and no excuses. you race that night, you get paid that night no matter what. joe atleast makes sure of that.

Get off the dewitt band wagon! They both have there flaws and we all know that.

Hey Hey he doesnt post much, but when he does loooooookout!

Dont get me started on the DEWITT thing, Lets all play nice

C'mon Jerry tell us allllll about it. hahahahahahahahahaha! Never heard you complain about Joe b4.

i am not on a band wagon but if i was i would feel more comfortable on joes then i would mike kerns. i have nothing to complain about joe dewitt. he IS treating everyone fair and doesn't hold money back from any of the racers like kern has and is still doing. just facts is all. i am playing nice, i do not beleive that i have tried to offend anyone. auto city is my preference like dixie is others. can anyone tell me when joe has kept money from a driver for not showing up to a banquet? or can anyone tell me when joe has kept money from a driver for a few DAYS or a week or so just so he could figure out what happened? has joe ever told a division that they was just a fill in and wasn't needed and cancelled a division just to begg them to come back half way thru the season? mike did that to the factory stock division. and yes, i do agree that they both have their faults but my point was that atleast joe does not keep money from the drivers.

Won't be long and they'll be off the schedule again if they don't start getting more cars! I think that phasing out of the factory stocks to the half mile is becoming a reality, right now, IMO - get ready for the half mile boys!

My Daddy told me, if I cant say something nice, dont say anything at all. hahahahaha.

Haaaaaaa! I think we all know thats not true. Youv'e always been a man who speaks his peice nice or not, but I respect your restraint. lol

Thanks for letting us know AGAIN!!!!

your welcome, any time i can help out just let me know, lol.

Geeez J your relentless! You must hate it when I talk about Dixie. Are you going to race anytime soon? I'd like to race with you some time this season. How are Dave, and Hannah doing so far this year? Are they forever boycotting AC. If so that sucks that group has fun racing. Hows your brother doing so far? My 1st time out was pretty rough, but I had great time.

Well don't go tearing all those cars up on Saturday night, we'd love to see as many of y'all as possible at Spartan Sunday for our Invitational!!!

Ed I think Nick is tenetively planning on racing mine down there Sun. I will be indisposed for the entire weekend Ill probably get back Sun around 8:30 I figure Ill have missed most of the show by then. What time do yall start racing Sun? (i guess i could check spartans site.)

Time Trial at 4PM, racing at 6PM on Sunday's Chad.

There sure were a lot of folks saying they were coming this Sunday from the East side. Not having to work on Monday, 80 degree temps. This should be a awesome night of racing!!!

Sorry to hi-jack the thread here folks!!!

Sorry to hi-jack the thread here folks!!!

I think the thread had taken a wrong turn anyway. lol

Every thing is going good except for a couple of so called veterans in the bombers who cant drive for the life of them and just run into every body. Both hanna and chad are doing fine just trying to learn do drive in traffic. Both cars are very good just takes seat time. I should be out to the city in a couple of weeks on a fri just not sure what day yet or who's car. I hear you getting a handle on your car just don't hit the wall it gets expensive.

Yeah I get that seat time thing. Itll be good racing with ya, or behind you if I dont get the car any better. It was scaled this week and it was a mess. Well look better next week I hope. I need some new springs. No cross at all in it.
