Thank you to the guys at Smash-It for attempting to put on a good show. You treated those of us that showed up very well and I look forward to running with you in the future. That being said, the fairboard dropped the ball on it last year as they didn't promote the derby at all.

So much complaining about not having the derby and then Smash-It gets the contract and (as far as full size) Jason Joyner, Joel Nicholls, Tim Jensen, and myself were the only 4 to make sure we put a car on the track. Jason was still installing a front clip on Sunday night @ midnight.

The fair board is a joke anymore. What Curtis wants, Curtis gets.

It's a shame that a fair loses it's derby cuz I think in most fair Derbys that day is there money maker. In my mind derby is the most watched event at fairs other then some like music acts. But it's all about the fair bored and what they want. We are the ones that get the people in the seats and help the fairs make money.

The only thing I don't understand is if you don't have a derby for years and years then have one all of the sudden, you need to have it at least a couple years for people to get the word out. Sucks for guys from Mt. Vernon who can't run at their home town fair.

Hell, to help bring it back, I'd even be willing to run for no purse if the money is why Knox Co. doesn't want to hold the event. Last year the $600 I won covered about 20% of my expenses for that one show. I believe the low count was the fair-boards fault for not letting the public know the event was coming back. When I told people I was running, most of them didn't even know the fair was having the event again. I bet most of those that showed up with cars are members of this site or know Smash-It and their staff.

Sucks for Smash-It because I think you guys put on a good show last year and did very well with what little we gave you to work with.

No sense crying over spilled milk, let's get some cars ready to honor the Legendary Dale Hatfield at any one of his shows this year - Richland Co. Morrow Co. or Delaware Co.

It's a shame, there is always a HUGE crowd at that show. Have been really disappointed with some of the things I have seen take place with that fair over the last couple years.

Guess we will just take our money to a different fair!

Guess the fair board is thinking about putting the show on themselves.

If you want to keep the show around, build a car. It's as simple as that.

Will post rules if they decide on a set before July.

[Darnes54x]

We'll if they do have a show I'll come watch and help B12 racing

Rules. Seems like a decent set of rules, but how they are going to be enforced is the issue.

[B12 Racing]

Anyone else building for this show? Have no place to bitch about the show if you're not in the arena.

[Darnes54x]

The show is Monday. I plan on being there to watch. Good luck to all I know that running have fun stay safe.
