Ahhhh, I still enjoy the board and I too have met many a friend on here. In fact, it's no secret that my place is open for anyone who travels and wants to visit Attica or some of the other fine Ohio facilities and needs a place to crash for a night. (yes, even posse fans...LOL!) I don't take the bashing too seriously, you just have to consider the source and let it roll. Since I'm not married anymore, I need someone to argue with anyhow and the board always offers opportunity for that!
I'll be at Eldora next weekend, wouldn't mind getting together as well, in fact, I wouldn't mind finding out just where Club Illusions is at. Went through Piqua just a weekend ago and verbalized that to my traveling friend.

Trying to kiss Posse azz now Coach??? (LOL)
Just kidding folks.....
Gonna miss not seeing some of you fine folks this year at the King's Royal....but I must sacrifice this to get back to the Knoxville Nationals. It's been since 98'!! Can't wait and hopefully I'll be able to meet up with some of you out there at the track and Dingus.
Also looking forward to seeing some that are planning on coming East this year.....yes even gasitup71 when he comes in, in May for the WoO at The Grove.
Like Coach, the Mrs. and I have also opened up our home for the wayward traveler. And we wouldn't hesitate to do it again. We've met a lot of fine folk on here and it is even better to chat in person at a track or bar where the conversation can be about more than racing. For instances talking about how good Penn State Football is going to be this year. So all you Buckeyes and Hawkeyes better be prepared!! (LOL).....

I don't know you, but that was a fine post and leads me to believe that we still have people in this world that are awake and get it.
Thanks P. S. Born in Beach Grove Indiana...Kenny

Can't wait to see a lot of you at Eldora next weekend... it's been since 1999 that I was there! Would love to pick a place to meet my fellow Hosers at, and perhaps we can establish a "meeting point"?!?! Suggestions anyone????

I remember not too long ago the camaraderie, laughs, stories shared, and good times had with several HH members on here, that now; habitually slam each other at every turn. I've been to numerous tracks around the country, met more than my share of Hosers over the years, and have had fun at every turn. (Except that one time I fell asleep in the infield in MO after a looooong modified race that lasted until 1am and made the 410 A-Main start waaaaay too late, sorry Randy Martin-I apologize again for not seeing you win)!!! It surprises me how quickly the tides have turned. I am confused as to what happened about two (+/-) years ago on here to pit fellow Hoser against fellow Hoser?!?! Some of the anti-this and anti-that banter that once swept this MB and made it such a fun place to read, post, and even lurk has been replaced with such negativity, and out-right blasphemy that it makes me shake my head. I quit posting years ago (minus the odd post every year or two) so as to not get in the middle of several debates that I felt were a bit slanted or even flat-out incorrect in it's "details". I also quite going to MANY races because of this… it's not too much fun when you have to side-step someone that you think is a jerk, or perhaps just rubbed you the wrong way, or even said something about someone you know/admire that hit a bit too hard. I wonder how many others lost their interest in Sprint Car racing due to the same reason!?!? Everyone is entitled to their opinion… one of the great things about this country, but I just don't get when you "boys" take it so personally. Name-calling and people-bashing is just so juvenile. BTW, I have 12 and 9 year old daughters that I would love to re-introduce to this sport, but I have to be careful. Why you ask? Because my oldest is gung-ho about anything she delves into and has a passion for. Up until about two years ago she was going to races but hasn't mostly due to MY lack of interest. I'd love for her (and her sister) to have the enjoyment that I did going to the races; feeling the seats rumble beneath you as the cars whiz by at 135mph, the wind blowing so fiercely you wear your sunglasses at night to keep the dirt out of your eyes, hanging out with friends that you may only see at the racetrack every now-and-again, and the excitement you get when your favorite driver makes it across the finish line ahead of everybody else. On occasion, my girls have watched me over my shoulder when I'm on the computer, but I dare not let them while I read HH MB for fear of the vulgarity and personal bashing that has transpired over the years. I think my oldest could/should have so much fun on this… and my youngest LOVES numbers/stats, so she could easily have an interest as well in the MB. Yet, this is only website that I have book-marked on my computer that my children are not allowed to view. Sad, huh? Regardless… I hope you all find a different angle this coming race season. I'd really like to take my girls again to a race, but when they ask me if they can look up race results/stories/4-11 (to races we are not able to attend) then HH is most certainly NOT the place. Only went to two races last year, and hope to do more this year with my girls, but... we'll see!?!?!
Moving on… who's up for some laughs at the Dingus next Friday after the race…. Anyone… anyone…???

LOL! You married the biggest problem on this board. It's no wonder that going to a race with him is a nightmare. The thousands of personal attacks and feuds he has started with people over the years are truly repulsive and unforgivable. Then he accuses people of being jealous of him when they respond to his BS. LOL!
....Opperman forever!

After reading these old post again, especially the first one I remember going to a sprint car race at Spanaway, up in Washington St in the early eighty's. A paved track and like my Dad said "like fish in a barrel" at that little paved track, but hey, they were running without wings! Anyway, we were watching hot laps, my wife and son(11) and daughter(12) and I and I asked my son what car he liked "the red one", I asked him why? He liked the way the red one looks. I asked my daughter the same question. "the black one" she said, why? I like the way he gets into turn one. She had picked a non decrypt car with the best wheel man out there that night and more than a few of you will know the name, It was Rebel Jackson...that's my girl.
