???  I am not sure how many races nascrap had this covid season, BUT  I think Kevin Harvick WON about  9 (that is NINE), and he is NOT even in the running for the championship??? This must be another example of this new MATH - DAAAAH, come on, really ...

I was thinking the same thing, after yesterday's race. If I was Kevin, I'd be really upset!

Think it is on Motor trend TV and the name is "Race Night in America."  Focuses on illegal street racing all across America in one night.  Looks similar to a Fast and Furious movie, but, with real cops and mostly real street cars running on real uncontrolled streets.

Now that you mention it, I think I did see a few minutes of a show that fits that description, a few months back..... YEARS AGO, there used to be some rather serious action in Rochester, on the Lake Ontario State Parkway, but I haven't heard of anything going on there, in a LONG time.....and even back then, it was kept pretty quiet.

Race NY sure is dead these days. Does this website have the COVID-19?

It's been a tough year, especially since the Governor decided to kill of racing for the season, and hopefully it's just one season..........

With no racing going on, what's to talk about?

Therefore, what good does it do, for the sport as a whole, to agitate the state government, by saying, "Well you let Bethel Speedway operate, so why can't the rest of the tracks"??

It's this kind of attitude that frost my a$$ here. This transcends racing what is going on in our society today.  Racing is on pretty shaky ground if it all hinges on the whims of  one elected official  who occupies the mansion in Albany . He serves US. ( or is supposed to) . The real issue is our elected (so called) representatives are not serving our general interest. Why and how come the rules are being selectively enforced?  So Tony is the bad guy because he simply wants an answer to a embarrassing question?   Who would put up with that in the tech barn? A level playing field is all  people want ....it's always been the way. Sure Foot...just shut up...pay your taxes....don't question anything...we (the government) have your back.

F THAT!!! 


Enjoy your boxcar ride ..........f,n fools

A little "triggered", are we???


I've written my supposed "representatives" several times, over this, as well as other issues that are causing us a lot of grief, this year. I KNOW A NUMBER OF NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE TOO. But so far, nothing has changed, so either our "representatives" are too lazy or too afraid of "Commandant Cuomo" to do anything that "we the people want". What else do you suggest we do?

My point, which you apparently don't understand or appreciate, is this....If at least one race track is somehow or other able to find some "loophole" to operate, then why make an issue of it, and therefore draw attention to it, and risk having Albany "take a closer look at it", and decide to shut it down, through yet another "BS" regulation?

Is THAT what you would prefer to do??

Do you really think you are helping the racing situation in NY ? As I see it you are only aggravating the people involved with no SKIN coming out of your wallet. What is your point ? I think I had neighbors like you , too f#ck@in busy with something that has no reason for you to poke the bear.

Interesting response, and to a certain degree, I have to say that I agree. We all know that our self described, "Imperial Governor", hos zero interest in motorsports, and by all appearances, hopes that it goes away. Therefore, what good does it do, for the sport as a whole, to agitate the state government, by saying, "Well you let Bethel Speedway operate, so why can't the rest of the tracks"??

You HAVE to know that given that sort of attitude, the State will simply say, "You know, Mr. Pettinelli, you're right, NONE of the tracks should be in operation, so thanks for bringing that to our attention. We'll see to it that Bethel Speedway is shut down".

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH??

Yes just wondering, are  Ray and Ellen  also in charge of the " Chemung  WEBSITE ???   I am guessing maybe John is the main  link in the website, AS  THERE HAS BEEN  - 0 -  UPDATES ON THEIR WEBSITE - F Y I   NOT  A L L   RACEFANS  ARE  FACEBOOK  FANS ...   Please  give  us  NON  facebook  FANS  an update  maybe just once in a while...   THANK  YOU .

Indeed!!

Lengthy article in today's edition of the Rochester, NY newspaper, the 'Democrat&Chronicle', outlining yet another group of griping neighbors wanting to curtail/shut down a long standing race track. This time, the target is the Canandaigua, NY dirt track. Although the article didn't come right out and support the track's operation, at least they mentioned that the track had been in operation since the 1950s, and was using a "grandfather clause" to remain in operation.

I am confused,exactly whos girlfriend is a drag racer?

My interpretation of that comment, is that the "interested party" has a girlfriend who is a drag racing enthusiast....but that wouldn't make sense, if Tony Hanbury was on the oval, running laps....unless he, Tony, needed some practice, too!!

RaceNY sure is dead these days.

I agree, but it's kind of tough, when there's no racing going on within the state..........

Sadly, I think that this is a preview of most of the motorsports facilities in New York. Unlike the "stick and ballers", short tracks around the state and country aren't owned by millionaires with deep pockets, that enable them to weather a storm, such as what we're engaged in now. Combined with "Commandant Cuomo's" draconian bans on activities, as well as his apparent disdain for motorsports, I think the "death knell" for automobile racing, at least in NY, has been sounded.....
