I haven't heard a single thing from the obnoxious PA fans about Ohio Speedweek. Is that because the two drivers that are there, are winless thru 6? It's not a slap in the face to the Zemco and Keen teams at all. Just a dose of reality to the PA fans.

It is quiet from PA, but I do respect those guys for coming and trying. Stevie Smith would have won at Attica if not for spinning out...I wish more would have made the trip. I can't remember a speedweek with out Ed Lynch! I also expected more from Gary Wright...he hasn't even made all the shows.

Ohio has a speedweek?

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH 
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Ohio has a speedweek????????? LMAO,,,,,2 Regulars from Pa. or California or Oklahoma make the trip across the border with to date little success. I can understand why You try to forget about the original speedweek and many followed. Lets not forget the invader from Ohio coming into Pa. speedweek whipping the central Pa. regulars not once but twice in there own back yard with a car and team he was new to. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Gary Wright put on one heck of a show last night at Waynesfield running the top. One best races seen in awhile. Got every penny back for admission after watching that feature.

unkown

I lost allot of respect for the one PA boy (Stevie Smith) last night with a bush league move putting Cale Conley into the fence and doing some endo's down the front stretch. Cale had been running on the outside of him for a lap and a half so there is no doubt he knew he was there. I hope he had the balls to appologize later last night, but it did not seam like he was very interested in doing so when I suggested it to him. Let's just say he was not exactley a class act in his response to me. All this running for seventh. Otherwise last night was a great race, one of the best I have seen for awhile. Thanks for the tip Swamp!

Waynesfield is a great track. Definitely better than the Wayne County fiasco.

BTW, I am no fan of BRR, but that was a great response. haha

...I would have guessed for sure you have heard of it...Pennsylvania has been trying to copy it since 1991!

...you coming out in July for the Eldora National Open?...

Probably had some dirt left in his eyes left from the slider Conley put on him at KC! Not fun gettin a slider from someone half your age...

Since we are talking about last year...who won Ohio Speedweek?

Whatever, the nerve of some people...

Well you BOYS east of Ohio don't got nothin to do. There is still some racing going on the next three nights!

How many OH cars are coming in for PA speedweek?

A

Stevie won Ohio speedweek and Chad stole 2 races during a partial running at the Pa. speedweek last year. Congrats to both . But to disrespecting Ohio speedweek with the above quote shows me why so many Pa.fans need to be put in their place on this board as often as they do. So untill they start showing some respect they won't get any respect! Its really too bad a few bad apples ruin the image of the whole batch.

Um, you do know that returning a bash with a bash makes you look every bit the fool as posters you perceive to have wronged you, right? Any valid or interesting point you might have about racing in Ohio, PA or anywhere else is lost when posters simply look at who is posting and know that the majority of your posts are nothing but bashing of drivers or fans. As soon as I see your name on here, I instantly think, "Wonder who you are going to bash this time?" And that preconceived notion is seldom wrong.

The posters that have the most respect on here are the people that you can have a debate with and not have it turn into sixth grade name calling or flamewars designed just to cause trouble. That being said, did you ever consider even the slightest possibility that some of the posters on here throw the bait out there, then sit back and laugh at your responding so frequently?

So your response basically says you can bash but don't swing back? Every response Ive ever put on here was pointing out the fact that if you post disrepectfull you deserve it back. Go ahead and reread my posts and you'll see that is the case!! Most have to do with disrespecting posts from a selected few. Just as an example you probably wouldn't care to much if I posted " Penn State has a football team?

I look at it differently. It doesn't make you look any better if you bash away on drivers and then hide behind a "Well, he started it." excuse. You just look like a guy bashing drivers and fans from behind a computer screen. I don't mean to insult you, but as soon as I see your name in a thread, I usually expect you to bash someone. Doesn't matter who started it, but you seem to be right in the middle of these flamewars pretty often on here.

Look at people like PowerSlave or BillW. Those guys pretty much never resort to bashing. And those are two of the posters I really enjoy reading on here.

I respect your opinion and I don't care for the bashing and name calling also. As for the 6th grade do you recall "What comes around goes around" or The golden Rule or " people in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks"? Like I said before a select few on here act like sprint car racing revolves around central Pa. and thats fine but leave everyone else alone or you will continue toget it back. If you think I hide behind this screen just let me know where you want to meet in person I can do that Ive done it before.

In regard to all of your posts mdr, I do respect Ohio and it's racing. I'm not sure, but I think BRR was being sarcastic? I'm not sure though. I live in PA now but didn't used to. Yes, I agree that many fans believe that racing revolves around Central PA. But that is no reason to bash one region or another. There's no need to bash. I also re-read some of your posts, and it seems like the majority of them or negative towards Williams Grove, the fans, or the drivers. I don't know if that's how you actually feel or if it just comes off that way. A few rowdy fans at the track shouldn't effect the overall. Ohio and Pennslyvania are the 2 best places to go if you want good 410 racing.

Agree!!!!!! My responses all went back at some aggressor! I totally agree that no series or driver or fans deserve to be bashed but it continues to happen mostly from centralPa.
