Title: Chemung
Post by: dennis1234 on June 15, 2019, 05:12:33 PM
Last night at the races I brought a few new people to the track to watch for the first time and after building it up how good the track had changed. I was disappointed. As we stood to the left side of the tower after the Bandolero race there was a very how should I put this. A Loud very Aggressive lady getting into the face of a track official to the point I thought this lady was going to hit the man. The two people I brought to the race decided to take their 3 kids and leave. I have no idea who this lady was but have seen her there many times. Now I know from being at the races for over 60 yrs these things will happen after an adult race but for a race where the drivers are what I don't know for sure the age limit, but maybe 8 to12 it was uncalled for. The driver to which I believe was her family member came up from the pit area. I do not know a lot about it but it seems the lady has it out for this track official Jerry Sinsabaugh. When I got up this morning as yes I stayed for the whole race I called my new friends that I meant at church and explained to them this usually doesn't happen at least not in the fan area. But the words that were coming from the Ladies mouth were very brutal. And although the adults enjoyed the races they will most likely not bring their kids back and very possibly not return themselves as they are a family first family meaning kids go where they go. I want to commend Mr. Sinsabaugh in the way he handled himself he let the lady berate him yes there was a lot of yelling but THAT IS RACING right. I will continue to pay my money every week to get what I get out of the sport but most likely not invite anyone that doesn't know racing. I know there has been a big push to get this track to a point where new fans and cars will show up and yes these 2 adults and 3 kids won't be missed. Or will they

 From the way you describe her behavior it suggests she should've been kicked out...at some point this is the tracks responsibility. yes?

It's a shame that people can't control their emotions. Heck, I saw exactly what you described as I walked through a department store not long ago. They're everywhere and do make it tough to try and do family things. Props to Jerry for his composure.

On a good note as of right now, the weather looks good for next Friday night.
