Thank you, but that is just one of the disadvantages of being Union electrician in a state were construction is slow when its cold. As far as posting in racers milling area it just seemed that there were alot of racer oriented posts here already. I don't mean for my posts to be negative. If you feel they are I am truely sorry. As for moving my discussions to the private arena why do you feel that is nessesary noone has to read any post they don't click on themselves this tread alone has generated over 1600 hits now whether you agree with the information that I and the others post that is your choice. I believe that there has been alot of dishonesty in all of APBA and how it has been run. But I also believe that It is the members that have the best chance to stop it by asking question of all persons involved. And just because someone doesn't post thier opinions doesn't mean they don't have one. and doesn't mean they don't want to have as much Inf.
as possible.

We were zeroing in on whether or not membership fees and insurance had been inflated and/or twisted by Detroit. This was done based on charges made by the LLC side which may or may not be true........ If true you win...if false, I suggest forther Q&A is in order.
That's neither positive nor negative...... but it is a third alternative...a realistic and open assessment of the facts. It seems that as soon as we begin to make progress the personal attacks begin.... and that serves no one well...least of all the LLC.
So , please be patient, and help clarify this issue. If Detroit is wrong...we'll admit it...
If the LLC is wrong....will you?

In the "actions speak louder than words" Dept.:
Our Boyz are coming home from Marathon with more victories than ever. They showed who's really in charge. And whos races really count.
According to some people, this race was highly illegal. Now, how about some simple fact checking: Try convincing our victorious Boyz that their wins won't count. I recommend removing ones dentures before making that argument in person.

T2x....agreeing with Peconic as long as he doesn't consider this some kind of sophomoric physical threat.

So what?..... They won the races....and they're in it for the competition...not the politics. I understand they were going to terrorize the SBI race at Ft Myers next...and good luck and God Bless to them.

TX: Someone is skirting the real questions here. Aren't you guys proud of your "research?" Do Daytona, Marathon, Savannah et al count towards the Nationals? Without qualifyers, please. Yes or no?
Why am I sure we won't get a straight answer?
First, you and Grin spread fear, uncertainty and doubt like there's no tomorrow, and now suddenly that's a "so what?"
If that forum wouldn't be public and for the world to read, that whole thread would be a "so what." Here, in the open, peddling fear, uncertainty and doubt is reckless and irresponsible. You are hurting the sport, sport.
Mod: Now that's what I call real research.
