Hello. Theron, "so to try and thow me into this"? Words have meaning. YOU are the one who wrote the words. I do not see any "pun intended". You wrote to kick some one's butt outside the track. Yes or no? Last year, you could easily let things slide right off of you, and on to Dan. This year, it sticks to you. Things will not slide off.
The buck stops where?
You write about a "new" driver getting addicted. This is wonderful (and, by the way, the driver did do a great job), however, you do not mention about how you helped along another driver (past points champion and perhaps future Hall of Fame driver) to quit the sport. Yes, it sticks to you. Good and bad, it sticks to you.
Yes, we have issues. I do not need counseling, and you can forget about the picnic. So what to do? You wrote I should kick some one's butt. Do not worry, that will not happen. I think words will suffice for now. David Bryan

I did nothing at David City to push another driver out of the sport and that driver has had his car for sale for a while and posted all the time on dirt-drivers trying to sell it or trade it for a circle burner. The officials talked to those involved in what they had going. I was racing and only caught a few different clips and never seen what they did on the track. Once again, those drivers who don't like each other can settle their differences however they want. I don't care how they do it, just don't do it on the track or in the pits! Didn't think that was hard to understand!
O, and the buck normally stops/drops during rifle season in Nebraska when I pull the trigger. Those who have been to my house know this, as I have a couple very nice bucks hanging on my wall. Not trying to brag, just saying.
Theron

think its funny you delete my post don't want anyone to know the truth I am the only one who has access to delete posts besides the original person who made the post and I didn't delete it so I don't know what happened in this case but here it is Shane. Not trying to hide your truth from anyone. Below is Shane Lovell's original post. Mike Wize Lovell's Original post- i'm just going to put my input on this...why do you think this driver sold his car? the same damn reason i did we are tired of all this bull shit drama that happens. What this "organization" is doing is going to ruin the sport. You guys bitch at something minor and dont do anything about the major stuff. If you ask me this "organization" is bias. I loved figure 8ing but wont ever go back to it unless things change.

I loved figure 8ing but wont ever go back to it unless things change. Lovell, Just curious what you think this "organization" is doing to ruin the sport? What can it do better? I can't believe anyone involved with this "organization" would want to ruin the sport of figure 8 racing because they are also involved and competing as well at the sport they love to do. I would imagine any input/feedback would be welcome to try and make Figure 8 racing better. Me personally I think some of the rules have gotten carried away in the stock class and should be revisited in the fall/winter but this can't all be put on the "organization" it is all of the drivers that were/weren't able to attend the rules meeting and let the rules get voted in. Just tossing this out there but anything you are involved in is going to have some sort of drama. My neighbor's kids are racing go carts at Eagle Raceway at the ages of 6 and 10 and there is all kinds of drama with that as well. So good luck not finding drama with whatever has replaced figure 8 racing for you. Mike Wize

i think alot of the drama can be stopped in one race and with all do respect its gota start with the guys flagging the race. nothing against the officals. the organization dont control how the race goes. the flag men do to a certain extent but mostly the drivers control it. it all depends on how they drive in the race, yeah be agressive but dont over do it. Just saying.

i have a question for the stock class. My dad wants to race at the championship and he would use my old open class car, not the one i've been using, so what im wondering if it would be ok for him to run it in the stock class the rear humps have been plated due to a bent frame and both front horns have been replaced and are plated just in front of the a-arms to help hold them on it 3/16 steel. just wondering if that would be a problem. let me know. thanks.

Hello. Theron, written like a true president. It shows what real leadership should not be like.
Mike, What can the organization do better? Not much, with what they have. I think I need to point out why there was NOT a State Fair figure 8 race last year? Only one group is responsible for that. Not a big deal?, only $10,000.00 total purse to the figure 8 community. And I will mention and ask why the figure8N race is the day before the State Fair figure 8 race? Again, that is beyond stupid, Stupid only goes so far. This is devious, plane and simple. Drivers know all this. It only sticks to one person. Last year, you could blame it on stupid. Not this year. Drivers shake their heads and realize the organization has lost most all of the credibility. If not devious, why the incentive of extra points to START the green flag? Interesting. (Why at Wahoo? Why DDOT officials. Why a derby? On and on.) Drivers know all this. Mike, they do what they know.
As a sponsor, I would wonder why, about half way through the season: I do not see the sponsorship stickers that should be on all these cars? Is there a return on my investment?Interesting. David Bryan

Hi guys I don't want to start any problems with anyone just want you guys to know from a bystanders point of view figure eight racing has totally changed in the three years I have been watching. The David city race was a poor example of what figure 8 racing is the drama was unreal. People cutting other peoples springs threatening to kill someone spitting in people's faces is childish and ruins the sport. Another thing I don't understand is last year a couple people said they were retiring yet they were there racing I thought if you retire you done but maybe the meaning of that word has changed. And this organization has rules for a reason why can't people follow them open and stock class cant seem to understand this. I hope all these problems can be resolved and we can have a great rest of the season lets leave our hormones outside of the race and pit areas and show fans what figure 8 racing is all about

Mr. Wize thanks for the vote of confidence but i didnt mean to come off offensive in my post. I only wanted to give people an insight to how silly all these fights and arguements are. As for the retireing subject some people at the end of last year made it very clear and announced to a lot of racers and fans they were retiring i just figured it made them look silly. And for signing my name no offense to you but i know and see how some of these people are on here and if i offend anyone I dont want them ganging up or picking on the people I root for or any of my friends that race theat wouldnt be fair to them they didnt come on her and post anything. Again I hope I didnt offend you just want figure 8 racing to be fun and not so much drama
