  I have to thank the area speedways who are making , showing their off season improvements on twitter , by video, and now on there website . Thanks go out to Path Valley , Selinsgrove , Port Royal and Susquehanna for all you're doing to improve your venue  .

Classic backhanded compliment.... obviously left out Lincoln & WG

Kind of like telling a woman she looks great, "for her age".....

How about man? This guy just never stops. Unreal. I'd like to thank all the racetracks because unlike Bob Altman, they actually provide something for the teams and fans instead of just talking about it and bitching about how everyone else spends their money. Running a Speedway is probably the most stressful and difficult way to be involved with our sport and even the tracks who aren't great still deserve praise for keeping the gates open. 

 If they put up recent renovations or even old ones  I would have mentioned them. Or if they shown something online or  on twitter . I have nothing against either track regardless of what you think , I simply put it up to show fans whats going on in case they  had not seen whats  happening at the tracks . I think fans ike to read or see news during off season .

Nobody buys that line of crap. Too many posts by you prove you have a grudge against the Grove & Lincoln. Probably because they wanted you to pay to take up space with your stupid table.

Lincoln needs new restrooms like Port...Grove needs less fireworks.

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

If your track is a showplace, thank you.  If your track is not a showplace, but you are working on making it better, thank you.  If you cannot spend money on amenities, but make the track as safe as you can for racers and spectators, thank you,  If you are making a show of your upgrades to make Robert Altman happy, sorry, I don't care.  I'll see the upgrades next time I'm in town.  Thanks to Lincoln for having an on the ball safety crew that got to me as soon as I stopped flipping the time I tried to move the turn 3 wall.

I make it a point to take a shit before I leave for the races.  I routinely take a piss at Lincoln, I'm only in the pisser for a short period of time.  Therefore I could careless about the condition of the restroom at Lincoln.  They could knock them over and plant a few trees for all I care.  

Exactly. Its a racetrack, not a 5 Star hotel....

but taking a dump in a 5 star hotel is a pretty heady experience.

If it weren't for us losing another racetrack (because that's exactly what would happen by the time he was done working his magic) I'd love to see someone hand Altman the keys to a Speedway and let him put his money where his stupid mouth is. He'd be in for a rude awakening. Maybe once he got his hands dirty and saw the thousands of things that a promoter has on his plate every day during the season and even the offseason while the rest of us have nothing to do but sit here and bench race, he'd see why maybe they don't give 2 shits about posting pictures of the brand new paint job they put on the ticket booth on Twitter or Facebook. 

This clown is truly obsessed with seeing pics of improvements at facilities...I swear he must get off on them.  Unreal.  SMH

Once  again people on here are turning it around on me , instead  of what I say  --" IT IS SIMPLY NICE TO SEE THAT SOME SPEEDWAYS ARE SHOWING THE FANS WHAT THEY ARE DOING ' DURING THE OFF SEASON , its not about anything else its great to inform the public what is going on at area speedways . And yes it is a tough job to run a track with costs , insurance , and much more . I know whats involved more then you realize but its a game to you guys to criticize me , and thats ok . I am just glad to see things getting done for your benefit and the teams .

Yeah Bob whatever lol. 

Hey, I'm tired of people dumping on you, I'm sure you mean well, but I agree with FiXXXer

It has nothing to do with you personally Robert, anyone who posts the crap you post would get criticized, as soon as I read your post about you personally thanking certain speedway and not others, I knew everyone else would think the same thing.

For some crazy reason you thought it necessary to thank certain speedways on a public forum that the owners and operators probably don't even read, as if the owners would say "we must be doing things right, the Robert Altman thanked us on Hoseheads today" and then they high five each other! 

You tried to kick some shit up by not mentioning Lincoln and WG, you acomplished your mission, and now you want to deny it and pretend you were just being nice, only problem is no one gives a shit what you think, 

To everyone else, if we don't respond to his dribble and let his next thread slide right to the bottom he will not be able to play the innocent victim everytime someone with a brain tells him the truth. Ignore his stupid shit and he will stop posting.

I was going to post almost exactly what your last paragraph states......IGNORE HIM

You know I really don't care what people think on here  , as I said before I put this up , to inform  people that don't check social media sites as to what tracks are doing , if I left out Lincoln or Grove it was because they are not doing anything at present time that I saw in my searching sites for info .I am not criticizing either , just stating facts , as you guys want facts , so I will give them when I see them . If you guys don't like what I write then don't read it . I write what I think and may appeal to fans. My intentions are for the good of fans to have some  benefit to them .  I always try to do  solid ideas for fans that I think may help them or they may like  when at the races , in my giveaways at tracks. Thank you for your opinions , I always appreciate them . 

What you said right there just proved that you don't know shit about what it takes to run a Speedway. You said Lincoln and Williams Grove aren't doing anything right now. News flash dude, they are its just shit that goes on behind the scenes and if you knew half of what you think you do, you wouldn't have made such a statement. I'm going to put it to you like this. You get beat up on here because you try and make yourself appear be much more involved in local racing than you are. Yeah you've given away a few cheap freebies to fans and organized some autograph sessions but that's the extent of it. We all love Robert Bell because he's a perfect example of what's right with sprint car racing and he does it on the lowest budget in the sport but if he walked around doing interviews talking like he was Sammy Swindell and claiming to have accomplished a whole bunch of shit that he didn't, people wouldn't think to highly of him. That's what you've done. You have flat out lied on here about your involvement in sprint car racing more than once. For instance, you didn't have a damn thing to do with USAC coming here yet you claim you did. That's the kind of shit right there that gets you in trouble. And by the way if you don't care what we think, why do you spend so much time trying to convince us to think like you? That's because you do care but I hate to inform you, no one is listening.

Robert, I want to thank you for all you do for me, the fan. People on hoseheads just don't understand what an asset you are to Sprint car racing in Pa. and around  the world. I mean, without you we (the fans) wouldn't get to know about all kinds of super important things like, which track has new shitters, or your opinion about the WoO, or your opinion about giving away free stuff at races, or your opinion about Jonny Gibsons music selections. All of these posts you make are so very very important to me the fan. Thanks for all you do for me the fan Robert. Don't listen to all these meanies on hoseheads Robert, they won't have much to say when they make you President of Sprintcar/fan relations will they. Keep your chin up Robert, I know not one person has ever agreed with anything you said, but sooner or later, if you keep posting, you might get someone to agree with you.
