South Sound

[sf17]

Obvious question: Where are all the full midgets? Why don't the come out? or cant come out or....... what gives? all off season it was going to be somehow better. I didn't go but was getting updates from one of the 4 drivers. The reasons are known why the focus midgets are coming down to south sound races and maybe Monroe in 2 weeks there'll be a few hopefully. Cars are parked and everyone has a reason why.

Money?

Time?

Lack of interest?

Lack of purse?

Its pretty sad effort and am sure this hits a nerve with all somehow involved. Owners sitting home reluctant to come out. Is the club management missing something? are those owners not being heard? or are they even listening? Where has the passion gone???

My bet is there is not enough fight let to even post a comment so maybe something can get addressed and worse, there isn't  enough left to do something constructive about even one post.

on the contrary, ill reply.
whos the 91 car?
i thought you were buying a car?
would you be willing to throw some tow money to entice some agassiz cars to come to ephrata and south sound?
its your chance to go from the electronic sidelines to a physical contribution.

I think we will have Moore cars out eventually lets just hope it not to late. South Sound first race of the season did not turn out so well for car count. If the owners do not want to race im am not sure what you can do to get them out. If we do not get more cars out in the next two races this will be the end of WMRA. The people and certain members of this club the last two seasons have worked hard to keep this club going.The loss of two car owners right before the start of the season was a huge hit we will miss both of those cars immensely. But their are enough cars between Washington and Oregon that we could have a great show if you could just get them back out. The Ephrata race will be the Dolan Lanan memorial race we need to make this a good show this is a great tribute to are friend car OWNERS PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT THIS SHOW if nothing else do it for Dolan. I personally do not want to see this club go under but this year will be the end if the owners will not support the show. PLEASE do not let WMRA go Under come out and race!! Thanks so much for the 4 cars that made the effort for the first race. lets see a better car count at Monroe in two weeks

It isn't a matter of not having enough fight left. Like you have said there are many cars sitting in garages collecting dust instead of coming out and racing.
Honestly if I knew the answer to why I would have already had a plan to remedy the cause.
This winter a select few were working week in and week out to make it so we had a season this year. As a club we have faced woes like this before and if any one of us want a place to race a midget in the NW they should start supporting the club ASAP if they are not already.
I would hate to see a day that the WMRA fades into the darkness. But without help and support it is bound to happen.
If anyone has any questions, concerns or would like to talk about how you can help out our club please feel free to call me
