Hi.
Just a word about the purpose of this blog. It's about the history of stock car racing in New Hampshire and northern New England. It is NOT about venting your spleen about the current state of racing. Yes, I happen to work currently at a track, but there are other places that you can rant about them. Not here. If it's going to be about that, I'm going to delete everything and shut it down. There are plenty of good sites about this history now, and this one probably won't be missed too sorely.
So Mudman, please keep your childish and inaccurate opinions to yourself, especially if you're not man enough to actually use your name.

Sorry if I offended you Clogston,
I actually respect you as an announcer and old school race fan. I think you and I share a love for the old days and old ways. After listening to your sermon Saturday night on the how screwed up the rules are these days, trying to force everyone to run the exact same cars/engins/tires etc, I think you sorta confirmed that.
Give the boys a sensible set of rules/guidelines and let em do their own thing as long as it fits into those guidelines.
You are just more eloquent at your delivery than I am, I know I usually come acrossed as an "ornery old curmudgeon" as Heath Jr once called me.
But the current state of affairs at the rumney track is indeed sad, while the place has seen a "cosmetic" improvement the surface is seriuosly lacking. as is the car counts, and dragging in more divisions (mini sprints) with less than 10 cars just drags out the program too much. what is up with running 6-7 divisions with less than 10 cars in each and some with 5 or less cars still running 20 plus lap features 5 cars don't even make a decent qualifier.
Feel free to edit or delete this post as you see fit.

PS I won't even get started on the goings on this last Saturday, on and off the track.

Thanks, Jason, for finally stepping up. It's so easy to hide behind anonymity, but since you've had the respect to tell us who you are, I will reciprocate and leave this comment up.
On the other hand, I would like to point out my disagreement. It's real easy to sit back and criticize others when you'll never have the opportunity to stand in their shoes. As I regularly point out, I've been on the deep inside of local racing for fifty years, and I might just have a little more insight than you on how to run a race track.
I don't have time right this minute to discuss it, but I promise at my next opportunity I will post my comments on your comments. For now, let me just leave you with a question; what are YOU doing to make the state of racing better? It's the question I ask myself every time I set foot at the track I work at. Please come up and introduce yourself, and I'd be proud to shake your hand.
See ya Saturday!
