To Move Cars or Not to Move Cars...

[EnduroFromDE]

heck if i dont have a car by then..i'll drive the Truck..im an ex-enduro driving trying to get back in it...so i'm use to being out there anyway...

[Steve Haegele]

kind of like the old rules with leaving the cars out there, but j&j has a point when it comes to tearing up the cars, it would hurt the car count, keeping the groove open is a good idea also, the jammer truck is a great idea.

Im sort of on the fence with this one. (here we go!). The first time I came to a NEETS race I was amazed and my attention was caught when the red was thrown and cars were moved. Used to racing at Riverhead, where a red flag was pretty much unheard of, I thought "WOW, I may finally be able to run the same car more than one race!", versus running "disposeable cars".
BUT!!!!....It is an ENDURO.....-Endurance,..-Endure. Thats the name of the game. I think, (especially on dirt) if a car is in the racing groove, maybe move it. If a car is dead and theres room around it, leave it. This should maybe minimize flags and set the pace for some good hard racing.
JMO, but the whole car count point that was made kind of makes alot of sense. They are not too easy to come by these days, and who wants to go back to gut-n-go disposeable cars. Their not too cheap these days.
Im in either way ans long as my wallet says its OK (who, by the way, seems to be the party pooper these days). I tried like hell to make the last Grandview race but came up short. Im going to make an attempt at this one in Oct. though. But dead cars on the track or off really doesnt matter to me. I just want to race.
Hope I made sense, I sell translation books online if anyone is interested...lol
See yas soon.

what about the truck that josh just wrecked?? how bad is it?? could that be the jammer truck??

[CJfilms]

NO WOOT, JOSHY TRADED IT IN!!!!

Thanks for getting involved Donny! We need more people to voice their opinions on this matter...it is obviously a major issue with the economy in it's current state and the cost of racing higher than ever.

WE NEED A JAMMER!!!! joe@neetsracing.com

Jammer:
Full body truck, roll bars and cage a must, proper harnesses and window nets, no glass..., push bars and rub rails, it must be 4WD since it is on dirt, ...heck, we have enough people that will drive!

The most important part is we need a way to get it to/from the track and a place for it!

JAM IT JAM IT JAM IT!!!! joe@neetsracing.com

[richardpetey]

I think we need a full-sized truck with push bumpers, maybe I can find an old wrecker............................
Gonna need a truck that will be able to push a big car off the track with no problems, I don't see a S-10 making it.........................
Thats right Eric, its an automatic DQ if you hit the Jammer, at least in the mid-west enduro rules......................
Its still all academic, until the powers that be make the big decision............
UNCLE PETEY.........................

Bob, you silly, of course I want your opinion!All of you are very important to NEETS, you are the guys and girls who make the series what it is. It's your baby too people!Whether you've run every race with us since 2003, have run off and on over the years or if your very first race was at Grandview this past July, all of your voices are important. I'm encouraging everyone to please keep your opinions coming. Thanks to all who have posted so far and to those who still plan too.

If we do end up using a jammer truck, can we call it "Tow Jam"??

[Tracy87BB]

Hey...I thought I had exclusive rights to JAM...toe or any other (for those of you who know how much I despise feet).

[dirtmodfan]

I just want to race. I am looking forward to my 3rd NEETS appearance. Should be fun. Anyone going to New Egpyt on the 7th? Dr D? Petey?

[Sac-Man]

Jammer Truck sounds like a good idea. I'm looking around to see what I can find.

Im hoping to see a repeat of the first Grandview race ! Wide open racing is how I would describe it ! As far as the dead car issue goes, I fully understand both sides of the issue, and Im gonna sit in the stands for that as well ! Looking forward to seeing all the NEETS competitors for this one . Neets does it "GREAT" in the Dirt ,and Grandview is" Dirt plus" with its high banks . Just a side note here "All of you will be finnishing behind the 10 of Shon Elk " Shon raced from 49th (or last) to 4th at the Diamond 's last enduro , and was impresive the last time on the high banks ! Shon was among the top runners last time at Grandview.The top 12 or so were taking the track with them .(WIDE WIDE OPEN) . Good luck to all the drivers competing in this one . OH!
does anyone know if tickets are available yet for the SUN DANCE Ms. NEETS is doing for this race?

WE'LL be watching !!!!

[CJfilms]

Tickets will be $7 at the door to watch Ms NEETS do her little dance...as long as this time she doesn't stop or slow up around lap 80...we shouldn't have a problem!

[triplesevens]

I race at BDR and would also like to race at Grandview. However, I do not want to risk leaving my car in the racing groove or avoiding cars in the racing groove. As a driver, I avoid contact, try to preserve my car, and want to make as many races as possible. In order to race as much as possible, you need to consider and minimize the risks.

JMO - Leaving the dead cars sit in the racing groove increases the risk of damage to your car and greatly increases the risk of damage to the dead car. Most drivers are already depressed because their car failed to complete the race. Why cause additional pain to this driver by creating an environment that could result in complete destruction of his car?

I prefer that my car isn't wrecked and I don't want the cars of the other drivers wrecked either.

Hope to be racing with all of you in the future.

777,

When are you going to fix my bumper? I don't appreciate you hitting my bumper with your qtr panel. You fixed your car, now how about mine? LOL

The auburn gazette will be calling you for an exclusive interview later today.

I thought this was closed for discussion...?

Anyway...If you read the rules, one of the first thing in the rules are that these cars are suppose to be "JUNKYARD" style cars...The price of scrap metal is really coming down now...I got a freind in the junk yard buisness and he saying that scrape metal for a midsize car is now only about 300-400 $...so I dont know why people are having an issue with "denting" up a car where they can be soo easly replaced...yeah 500 might seem like alot to go and tear up a car every month...but the odds that your car is going to get destroyed ever race is very unlikly...even though you spend a handful of money for all the safty items, you only paying for them once...they can all be transferred to a "new" car. the most money you would be spending for a new car,...if you have to buy a new car, is max of $500 thats if you go out and get a nice car...get one that runs and shifts but might look like ...well you know...I think what im trying to say is quit 81tch1ng about the cars being left on the track...I wasnt around when NEETS for started but I was around when they were at their peak as far as car count...remember that Beaters race with 96 4cyls to start...I remember taking the green flag heading into turn 1...i was getting lapped down the back streightch before I took the green fllag...any way I kept the same 1992 for Escort until the last race of the 2006 season...I destroyed the car becuase of my own stupidedty tring to pass in the grass headed into turn three after it had rained...They were suppose to be mud+snow tires......anyway I kept the same car for almost 3 years...But on the other hand I've seen one car, I think in the 2005 or 2006 season...the M0 car go through three or four cars in the 9 races we had...I think most were for motors maybe one was for damage...but not because his car was left on the track and got hit...I've only seen a dead car get "destroyed" in a race since I've been driving maybe three times a year...

Wow i think I might of got off subject a little here...I'll just sum this all up in one sentence...I would like to see the cars kept on the track where ever they die...

The end...and see ya alll sooon...
