Track was fun for a while but the track management sucked

I would like to thank Matt and Mudd-Ox corporation for delivering 6 Vendetta tires and wheels for winning the 6 wheeled suspended class last year. Mudd-Ox's support for the racing community is greatly appreciated and this year they are matching the highest payout with other companies for the holeshot awards in the six wheel classes. Thanks again Matt and crew!

The Amphib community is about the best bunch you could ever be associated with. Thanks to all for all the help getting the Mighty Mouse back in shape to race, even though the Management & staff at the "Paradise" speedway in Geneva made it impossible to test out the work. With Scott bringing specific parts for me and Dave, Brad, and Marc helping with the tools & skills, the 'mouse was back together in plenty of time to race (except there was no race).

Thanks to Mudd-Ox for the support as well; those tires are way cool. They'd look good on the Li'ltruck!

Great time with the gang as usual...but Paradise Speedway...they suck!

"pair a dice" think we rolled a "snake-eyes" guys
Had lots of fun and it was great to see everyone, kind of a bummer that we got the run around.
We all traveled long and far, put lots of time and work into our machines. The track was nice but they were way under staffed, the few whom did staff it were way overwhelmed.
It's a way cool circuit to be part of and invited to join but this is our third season and the plaques still have no six wheelers pics on them (don't quite fit the classes we race) it also it also states on the (NE-EDT) websight that we have the option of trophy (plaque) or 30 $, not sure if this applies to all places that get trophies or not but i have placed in most all of the events and have never been given this option yet. *we all should have been given this option last night.
I hope things work out and not the end of the world if they don't but starting to feel like pine lake is the only place that makes me feel truly at home.

Michigan is up in the air for me at the moment but sure looking forward to the real 6x6world pine lake event.

So I am sitting here this morning assessing my plans for racing the rest of the season. I roached my A-Stock machines engine waiting to race so I lost my chance at gaining points for the race. We have another race coming and I don’t know if I will have the A-Stock machine back together in time. I missed my 2-Stroke Stock heat race because of engine issues. I got to race in the Main race but I don’t think they will give me any points since I didn’t race in the heat race. I would like to race in A-Stock, Modified, and Stock but at this point it is almost like my season starts in Michigan. The other question I am asking myself is, is it is worth it to drive all the way to Michigan with so many points already lost, especially after the way we were treated in NY. I am hoping that the events that took place at the last race will not be repeated. Last year was a really good year and I had a lot of fun. I am really disappointed so far this year and it makes me question whether or not driving all over the place, putting my body through the punishment of racing on tracks that aren’t really 6-wheeler friendly and spending so much money is worth it or is it better just to be happy with the time I spend at Pine Lake. Up until Saturday’s events I had planned on building a modified racer but I think I will put that on hold for the time being. I do want to say that we have a great bunch of people in this group and I really have a good time when we all get together. Every time we race I learn something new.

Again I am really sorry for what happened I am already making phone calls trying to find why this happened. So far it sounds like the track caused a lot of the problems but I am working on it to get this resolved. We really don't want to lose any racers over this incident but I do understand it is a lot of time money and travel and to be blown off like that is not right. When I get more info I will pass it on as always again I am truly sorry this happened.

I should be in A Stock but they screwed up and listed me in Exhibition and then put me down for a DNF. I have no clue why they did that.

My guess is complete and utter incompetency.

I'd decided on the way home not to attend the Milan race, but after a 24 hour cool-down period I'm thinking that may have been a hasty decision. Milan treated us pretty well last year and it was a fun weekend. We'll see what happens.

Bud, on the other hand is still POed. If I hadn't hit him with "Klaatu: Barada, Nikto" early yesterday morning, the earth may not have been the same today. He doesn't race in the heats nearly as hard as he'd race a feature. Neither do I and it's most likely the same with all of us. What the Paradise Speedway did to us is unacceptable.

Thanks for checking on it for us, Dave. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

P.S. There is a Yelp site for Paradise Speedway where you can rate the track.

I signed up for "A" stock however they listed me in the stock class (probably what the computer told them to do). When I noticed the discrepancy on the line up I notified the track official and she switched me to the "A" class and confirmed it with the office. I was having steering issues all day but did start the "A" heat and finished 3 laps. Worked on repairs for the main but never got to race. Then find out (according to the standings Dave posted) I was still listed in the "Stock" as a DNS. Brian ran good (3rd in stock) and I had some fun watching him have some success and fun. It was along way to travel (10 hours round trip for us, I know it was even longer for others) to sit around most of the day (and night) then not even get a chance to get on the track. We will not be attending the MI. race...See you at Pine Lake.

[LittleG]

Thanks for the info I will work on getting that straightened also.

For those that were not at this event, what did the track folks do (or not do) that has caused such a stir?

[james gerber]

number of other issues but the bigs ones were they ran out of time for the main's (races) they got to like race 16 in main events, then they postponed all the rest of the six wheeler events
until they raced more of the three and four wheelers. then when it came back to us (six wheelers) finishing up they said they were past their curfew and we could not race. four stroke , modified, A class and springer class, never got to run the main events. we only race four laps for a heat and 6 for a main, not like the 25 laps and restarts they take up.
sure i used as much gas sitting in the staging area as i did racing.

[dirtdobber]

That stinks. "curfew" sounds like they are a little too close to a residential area.
