The new issue of SportsCar just arrived. Right in the middle of the cover, an article about the June Sprints is advertised.
So I flip to page 49 and start loking for the SM race recap.

I find a nice pic of our race winner, Mr. Drago. But I can not find the article about SM. Not even a paragraph.

All we got was a sentance; "Jim Drago dominated SM in a 44 car-field after some confusion with the gridding of the cars."

And in the weinie protest department, from the top of the page; "The day's first race was the Advanced Autosport Spec Miata...." The name of my company is Advanced Autosports with an "S" at the end.

This club just does not get it.

The club didn't write the article, the club didn't release the cars from the grid. You guys sound like our fking politicians. Somebody made mistakes at the Sprints. They apologized. Accept the apology, or not, but don't blame the club. And, don't blame the club because you didn't like the coverage of the race.

I am not normally a black helicopter guy, but I am from Chicago. I vote early and often.

When a f-ing politician gets caught with hand in the cookie jar, or his pants around his ankles, Then the story gets buried in a one line article on page 43..... I know a cover up when I see one.

And, the only person who has appologized to me was Dave Karling, the parking steward! I have seen all the other Chicago Region Stewards and officials at the track, yet only Dave had the class to walk up and give his opinion.

What's that noise

Whomp whomp whomp whomp
