Putucky Payout

4wheelsinthekoosh · 2/3/08, 3:10 PM

Just want to hear from some other racers if they heard anything about the payout for last season. From what i understood and was told "you have to buy fuel and tires from the track if you dont you wont get your money at the end of the season". Thats fine i understand that and can deal with it. But next the racers were told on the frontstrech during the banquet after the last race at 1am that our checks were going to be mailed with our 1099's. Did that happen NOPE. Thinking that it was a freak accident i called my buddy Robbie Rice to see if he got anything and guess what his answer was. ?????? yep you guess it. He didnt get S*^T either. So next year instead of making the 45 min drive to putnamville every week i will make the hour and half drive to the burg. I feel as a racer i have been bent over one to many times by the management at Putucky. I love the track and the fans that come to see us race there but enough is enough. I have supported the track and tried to get more sprint cars to race there last year and made myself look like a ***** for no apparent reason. So if anybody knows anything about what is going on feel free to write back.

P.S. I have all of the reciepts from every gallon of fuel and Tires that i purchased.

I don't know anything about the payout you are talking about... but I've often wondered how much crap would racers put up with before they stopped supporting this track.:action-smiley-049: Maybe that time has come unless we see major changes.

It is a shame because I remember the days when the hillside was packed with fans... the racers packed the pits... and a track that was very racy.... Now, I just get pissed every time I think I about the place.

I just dont understand why you would want to piss off the few remaining supporters of your track....I know myself, Billy, the Carmichaels, Krockenbergers, A.J. Martin, Kent Christian and a few others supported Putnamville in the sprint car division all year. Honestly I expected nothing less of him....the only good thing that all the fans can look forward too is that he has already lost THAT...it is only a matter of time before he gives up on Lincoln Park Speedway and Twin Cities for me I am looking forward to that day.

Come on over too paragon , the money is not great but it smooth and their are some fast cars their too , some may disagree , I would not put up with DA sh-t Hope too see ya their

I look forward to seeing some of the Rutnamville regular drivers and cars at Paragon and the 'Burg on Saturdays. I certainly support your decision to say so long to that place. Some of you were very loyal to that place but its obvious that enough is enough! Good luck in 2008.

Oh my,who is it that owns Rutnamville, now it is coming back to me, like a very very bad dream.I feel for the drivers/owners as some of them are friends of mine.ANOTHER reason NOT to go there!:thumbsdown::censor:

Mud Packer · 2/3/08, 10:20 PM

Sorry to hear that the drivers and owners have taken the short end of the stick.:thumbsdown: That being said, I am not surprised that old DA would pull a stunt like this.:loser: When, and only when, drivers, owners and fans stay away and hit him where it hurts will things change. My only hope is that at some point in time he will get run out of the business of auto racing. He has about ruined every venue he has touched.

I promised last year after the fiasco at the Action Track that I would NEVER attend another show that he was involved with. I have kept my word and will continue to stay away as long as he has any type of involvement. It's time to show him that we all mean business.:moon:
