Just my opinion,Miller and the organizers to be fair to all the racers ,you must run in one of the first three shows to be able to run the rest of the series,I don't think the driver who won at Port Royal should have been allowed to cherry pick which race his fresh equipment could run and win,everyone who ran the other races are pretty tired by then and a lot of the cars are too. Any speedweeks can really stretch the crew,the driver,and the wallet,just my opinion,but I think they need to take a look at this for the guys who have already stretched it. Food for thought,yes or no? They certainly weren't hurting for cars so you can see what I mean. Still Just my opinion.

The top two drivers @ Port were running 430's(allegedly)...The winner also ran Hagerstown...

So the guys who only run the Grove and Lincoln each week should be allowed to participate at their regular weekly track but the guys who only run Port can't run Port's race because of their placement in the schedule? Open a can worms and you have problems. Are we not going to allow Layton to run Port's race because he ran a different car there and the crew wasn't tired? Take two weeks off before a race at Port and start the same two guys on the front row and there is a good chance that the result would be the same.

It's a no coach. Drivers run where they want to run.

I disagree. All your suggestion would do is eliminate the weekly locals at Port Royal and Selinsgrove from running at their home track and that wouldn't be anywhere near fair to all racers.

Okay, then I'll say the fans that don't attend the first event of speedweek can't attend any of the others because the fans that go to all the races are tired, broke, and depending on weather, completely exhausted due to the heat...
See how rediculous that sounds?
The bottom line is this, Racers race WHERE and WHEN they want, I'd love to see Montieth and Esh @ Knoxville in 4 weeks too, but odds are is that they aren't making the trip (even though they are in the upper echelon of the PA drivers. The beauty of racing in the 80's and early 90's were that until you saw a car pull through the gate you didn't know who was and who wasn't going to be at a race. Now, everyone throws a hissy fit if I they saw on someone's facebook page that (insert driver name here) was racing at (insert track here) and they show up to the track and that driver isn't there (maybe becuase he never planned to be, maybe because they crashed the night before, maybe because they just decided not to because the forecast was calling for rain).
As a fan, I don't care who shows up any night, I just hope I see good racing and not a follow the leader parade....

That would drive down car counts for sure.
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

I'm pretty sure the "driver who won at Port" ( can't you say Heimbach or are you unable to spell it) actually WORKS for a living and doesn't drive for a living. I'm also pretty sure the entire crew on that team WORKS for a living and doesn't have the time to be in the race shop every night of the week.
This quite possibly ranks as the highest "idiot" thread ever on hose heads. What a selfish fuck you are even starting a thread like this. Since when should it or even the thought of dictating who runs where and when?? Unbelievable!

REF:Central Pennsylvania Posse,I sure opened a can of worms on that one,everyone who replied sure got their eyes opened and I got exactly the reply I thought I would,it was all to stir the pot and it did stink,now to get along with life,I thought I would get more negatives concerning outlaws and posse but I guess people have other things to do.Oh yeah,its Heimbach in case you didn't think I knew......and the beat goes on... congratulations to Heimbach and all his followers.Enuff said.

It should be speeled Hiembach due to the English rule "I before E except after C"... :/
Then again, the Germans hate the English and, of course, the Jews... :/
