How did racism get brought into this.  That comment in itself is racist because this topic has nothing to do with it.  So only liberals should be allowed to express their opinion and not trump supporters.  Maybe you should thank trump for making people feel it's okay to gave an opinion even if you dont agree.  That is most of what he is trying to do, give our freedoms back that have been slowly widdled away by liberal idiots like wolf.  I am absolutely not promoting racism and neither is trump but you and many others certainly try to twist it that way.

Ya know this whole Covid-19 lockdown has gone way too far.  These governers are destroying the economy and the people.  When it was first done it was to Stop the spreadin of the virus so the Hospitals didnt get over run.  Well THAT NEVER HAPPENED, there is no reason to keep this lockdown going at all.  I know for one I am an adult, I can decide for myself if I want to go somewhere or not.  It is not the GOVERNMENTS JOB to protect me from a virus or anything for that matter.  I am more than capable to make a decision on taking a risk or not.

This whole thing is a total POWER GRAB.  It has gone way to far and it is time WE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS to say enough is enough and take our Communities States and Country back and thell the Government to fuck theselves.  The Govt isnt feeding my family or children.  I am and Im fucking fed up with all this bullshit.

 

LETS GO RACING --- LETS GO AMERICA --- LETS ALL GIVE A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO SOCIALISM/ COMMUNISM and the Goverers that keep pushing their will on us.  Its time we got our RIghts back 



I am tired of writing this political stuff. I want my sprint car racing back. What bothers me now is just wear a mask, don't mess things up just wear it for a little while longer,  now it is just wait until we have a vaccine. When is all this nonsense gonna stop? I am so confused I don't know who or what to believe anymore. Good luck Lincoln and Selinsgrove. Lets start opening up Eldora Tony. I cant wait for the King's Royal 4 day show!

Agree with some parts of of this post a lot - still not cool dropping the racial terms even in your context.

Also, Sweden got it wrong and they're now finding out. For half of the past two weeks, they've had the highest death rate per capita in the world. Additionally, Sweden has four times as many deaths as Denmark, Finland and Norway combined despite having 10m citizens compared to 16.6m combined citizens for the other three. The reason those three are significant is that they have very similar makeup in culture/healthcare to Sweden. So yeah, 400% the death rate with with 61% the population. 

 



Sweden made a conscious choice to absorb more death now and not put it off until later. They fully knew that would happen initially. There are articles addressing "herd imunity", but that came from journalists. Nobody in the Swedish government ever made the claim that herd imunity was a goal. What will happen in the long term? We'll see. Again, I think they got it right.

The spread of the virus all over is (in my opinion) a certainty. I think we're only delaying the inevitable. The idea that it will be wiped out and gone for good is a bit silly. We still have MERs. We still have bubonic plague. I understood the intial response to educate and not have our hospitals over-run, but we're well past that stage now. We've learned some things that we didn't know in February. Who is most at risk and what we can do to protect them? Locking down all of society still seems silly.

I'm guessing the "you" here is directed at me. Some one specifically asked about liberals at the track. I am largely left leaning so I spoke up. 

If you can't see the division in race relations in our politics, okay. You can choose to ignore that. I choose not to ignore that and think it's still a major problem in our nation. I see our president having zero empathy for the conditions a black man experiences in our nation. Would you choose to live under the same conditions as a black man in our country? Of course this assumes you're a white boy redneck** like me. I would not choose to live under those conditions.

Apologies if this isn't the place for this. I'm guessing it's not. I will let it go and allow someone else to have the last word here if they wish. No more replies on the topic from me. 

** Note: the original rednecks were early coal miners and wore red handerchiefs around their necks to show solidarity. My ancestry. I've been deep in a mine. I know what strip mining is and looks like. I know what a coal tipple is. A lot of my early childhood revolved around the coal life.

I've lived both lives. I grew up an authentic redneck from just south of Punxsy. Spent countless nights at Marion Center Speedway and the occasional one at Lernerville or Bedford. Once you've been exposed to different perspectives there's no going back. I will always love racing on dirt tracks, but it doesn't mean I have to have a total lack of empathy like the MAGA crowd. To me they're embarrassing. Rasist attitudes are alive and well in our country. Our current president is doing his best to let them feel like they have permission to express their true feelings. 

Lets be clear. Reagan and both Bushs were good honorable men. They might have had differing opinions on how to make things better, but they honestly cared about people. Trump is just an embarrassment along with anyone that would blindly support him. I remember being taught about the difference between black folk and niggers. When your eight years old you don't know any better. Now I do. I'm super confident that people with those same beliefs are at the track. They just haven't learned anything different than what they were force fed when they were kids. Over time maybe it will change? I can only hope. Empathy. If you don't get it or don't have it, well, okay. I'm not changing your opinion here. 

And for the record, I think Sweden got this whole pandemic thing right. 



Right on, Brother!

"Appropriate action" was definitely taken last night.  Tracks raced and fans had a great time.  Here's to a big FU to Gov. Wolf!!! Now time for Selinsgrove again tonight.

first of all...your president put out an executive order that could result in more censorship of message boards like this.  get all these posts with nonsense about how you're losing your freedoms out of your system now. 

how did racism get brought in?  easy.  what would be your reaction be if thousands of black people defied the governor's orders?  it's happening all around the country and the police are showing up with riot gear and tear gas to stop it.  our "nazi" governor is letting thousands of white people gather and all the psp says is "we take it on a case by case basis".  

and before you say "well they're rioting, looting, and destroying things"...you're right and they are making themselves look bad...but were they starting out peacefully like all the fans at lincoln?  and what would have happened if the cops showed up to shut things down last night?  my guess if for all the chest thumping the maga crowd does about losing freedom and guns...they would have gone away peacefully.  

but we'll never know if they would have turned violent because the police can't bother to show up to stop a white gathering.  i'm surprised this hasn't become a national story and it might in the coming days.

 

one other point to make here...

mike heffner is involved with the 2 tracks that are not erring on the side of safety.  you would think somebody who lost a driver in 2018 and almost lost one last year would know better.  apparently he hasn't learned anything and maybe i'd like to see ryan smith drive a different car because he seems like one heck of a nice guy.

i was upset with williams grove after what happened last year in the pits...but give them credit for doing the right things with the virus.  i hope to see them racing in a couple weeks...and with the governor's blessing...despite the "nazi" that he is.

Its about time business's told the Government FUCK YOU.  This is America, Racing Started in America because Americans have the mind to think outside the box.  If the Average American listened to the Government we would still be in the Stone Age.  Freedom and perservance is what makes America GREAT, Not Government that wants to heard us around like Sheep.  Hell if American people listened to the  Govt, Gasoline and oil wouldnt be here because Gas Bad Oil Bad Coal bad so Racing Bad, according to some Idiot Govt Officials/Politicians.  FUCK YOU WOLF we are Racing and Living the way we are upposed to.

Good For Heffner with the Big Middle FInger to Wolf.  Oh and guess what Nothing Happened and Wolf Lost  Congrats for racing keep racing The "Aproproate Action was Dirt Flying and cars going Fast around the Track.  THATS APROPRIATE ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So are these businesses gonna stop using the roads built by government, & never call police & Fire Dept. in emergencies?

I'm disappointed by HH moderators for not stopping the political stuff. I'm trying to keep my cool, but enough is enough....

Yea, thats called a tattletale

If moderators read this stuff, they don't need anybody to tell them about all the blatantly political posts

I'm just wondering if they're gonna do anything about it

I'm sick of arguing with some of these bozos

Its got nothing to do with politics. Its a VIRUS



How about that fourth sentence, must not be very sick I guess. You live and thrive for arguments I believe. Practice what you preach rev.

You are such a fun tool. Seems like you are disappointed in anyone that doesn't agree with you. Maybe you should have the moderators kicked off of this board.

You were comfortable with this politicized post that had nothing to do with sprint cars because it aligned to your views but not others that don't align to your views....
