I know everyone has an opinion as to what they want to see when you go to the races . Yes , great  racing is the main part that everyone  wants to see first , but now it is a different game . After the racing we need  clean updated facilities , to lure new fans , the women in your life and so forth . It has become quite obvious  NOW after attending the newly revamped Susquehanna  Speedway twice , that most fans want  this type of facility. Hats off to Scott Gobrecht and Kolten , the new GM on a  job well done that is far from over .

Ok Bob,which tracks do you attend that do not meet this criteria? Yes, I need names.

I am more interested in knowing what school you actually attended?  I know that my spelling and gramar isn't always correct, but yours is pathetic.  Maybe your school didn't have all the latest and greatest bling in the facilities?

My god, Roberta, do you ever shut up about this?  For real, what are you doing to improve PA facilities besides posting on a message board?  Start a go fund me account or something.  Good Lord.

(I'm sure you'll respond with a "thank you for your thoughts or some crap like that.)

I don't know what you look like but when I read your posts I picture Grandpa Simpson typing.  Have I hit the nail on the head? 

So you are saying the first 2 races at Susky were attended by "most fans" in Pa? I mean, if those 2 races proved what "most fans" want then most of the fans in all central Pa had to be there. Must be a huge grandstand at that place.

We all know you like that track. But you posting on here about how great it is will not help it. Because nobody values your opinion at all.

Y'all are brutal.....lol

my perfect track = a Kokomo style track built in the infield of Williams grove. I won't be happy until that is done.

Format = f hot laps ...no one wants to watch that shit...racing starts at 6 By the way..I wana get home..... heat races happen on the small track. Dash happens on the big track. First half of the feature is ran on the big track. And You guessed it....alternate the remaining portion of the feature between the big track and small track....10 lap segments at a time..... 150 total laps....like back in the day....

I make a statement not really being uncomplimentary but its turned negative . Lincoln and the Grove to answer your question to give you names that asked for . I have no criteria  but the new fans of today  just want better seating , an overall better facility  along with good racing . The turn out shows great support  and I like to see that at all tracks .

Ah yes, Lincoln & the Grove. You claim to have nothing against these tracks but you always put them down.

Your bias is clearly visible in almost every post you make despite your claims of having "no criteria".

Same old crap from Robert. Now he's going to bragging up Susky all season long.

I love the central PA racing scene. I'm appreciative of what I have and I wish my Posse neighbors would Relax and stop with the negativity.  Go enjoy the races wherever it might be.  

Dude are you serious? Who the fuck am I kidding, of course you are. Susky has been greatly improved but if you think for one second that the facility is even in the ballpark with Williams Grove or Lincoln, you're flat out wrong. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a fact. It's way better than it was and I enjoyed the show Sunday, not because of the new seats and the newly renovated pissers, but because the racing on the track was outstanding which HAS NOT changed. The racing at Susky was always great. They had a great crowd which had just as much to do with people wanting to see a race before the weekend was over as it did with their curiosity to see what all they did with the place. Like I've said a thousand times, if you want Lincoln or Williams Grove to make improvements, write them a damn check and make it happen but you would never do that because all you do is set up a table and stand beside it 3 or 4 times a season and post your stupid bullshit on this messageboard and somehow rationalize that in your mind as doing something. All you do is bitch and moan and tell all these racetracks how to spend their money. The funny thing is, if Scott Gobrecht comes out next time and tells you to pony up a vendor fee to set up your stupid table like Lincoln and Williams Grove so wisely did many years ago, you would find all kinds of stuff about Susky to nit pick at. The really funny thing is, you point to a big crowd at ONE RACE as proof that Lincoln, Williams Grove and every other track that told you to take a hike with your imaginary fan club should do what Susky did (because they were all your ideas right?) and fix shit up to meet your idiotic standards yet were you at Lincoln (yes the same Lincoln that you think needs all these improvements) on opening day? Of course not because if you were, you'd know their crowd for the Ice Breaker was gigantic.....MUCH bigger than what Susky had the other night and guess what? A lot of those fans were females! 

Of course he will because he got to set up his pretty much empty table and stand there playing wannabe promoter before the races. As long as he's allowed to do that without forking over some money for a vendor fee like every other outside organization who conducts business on property owned by the Speedway does, he'll be all about the place. He even talked favorably about it when it was a complete shithole during Todd Fisher's run as owner yet still bashed Lincoln and Williams Grove even though those two tracks had FAR better facilities (and even after the recent improvements, they're still exponentially better than Susky) that were much more woman and first time fan friendly. I can't believe he still tries to deny his disdain for those 2 tracks due to them trying to make him pay a vendor fee 15 years ago. Literally, everyone knows about it. He isn't fooling anyone.

So just what does he do at the track? Sell stuff? Give away stuff? It has to be something "for the fans"! I'm sure nobody stops by his table more than once. It's my nightmare getting stuck sitting beside someone like Altman at a racetrack all night.

It has nothing to do any vendor fees or anything that happened in the past , I 've told you that before . I am not trying to sway you about anything  , you like the racing at the Grove and Lincoln  , I don't . And no  I am not taking any attacks out against either track . I use to like the racing at both tracks years ago until times have changed , with the rules, track conditions, and the  inner guard rail was put up . It is not me making personal displeasure against any track, its fact  . .And I am well aware of the size crowds Lincoln gets as opposed to Susky , for one reason besides a lot of people like the racing there but the other reason is the location . You see a lot people that go there never go elsewhere , cause its close for them .  You are allowed to like or prefer any track  . I am saying that a clean more comfortable  facility pulls in new fans as opposed to ones that need updating . I like the racing now but it was even better years ago at all the tracks not just a few . As many have  said before me , we are lucky in this area  to see some great racing and great drivers.

Wrong again Mr. Oswald , it is not a nightmare , you would enjoy meeting me , but you don't know me . So don't make the comments , Ok . I am glad you're having fun making these comments , but then it is fun to you to criticize my integrity .

Actually I pray I never meet you!

As for your integrity, you lost that a long time ago. When you lied and said you never posted that another track should run some specials against the Grove on Fridays. And when you posted you were no longer going to respond to your critics but you still do. A man who lies and does not keep his word has no integrity.

When you guy's fix all of PA's tracks please come work on California's.

CAJ

stop acting like 10 year olds. This is a embarrassment to me as a PA resident everytime I get on here. 

Look no further than Brandon, SD - now, if someone would just fix the neighbor's cat, all would be well in the world.

You  people attacking do not know the many things , the horrible things I do in  the back alleys and  the street corners for you , the Great Fans of our Great Sport.  I am not one bit bitter about being tossed out of certain tracks I attack constantly  on this board  and many others. It is pure  coincidence that I only enjoy the  racing and the bathroom stalls  of the tracks that allow me to  spread the good message of my fanclub for you , the Great Fans of our Great Sport.  Thank you for our opinions of me.
