Me and the Iron Pony crew will be up there working the show. This sounds like a good after "work" activity, that is if you'll have us??? I swear we won't work the sheep too hard.

I am going to guess either a S&W .38 spl police edition with wood grips, or a Ruger Security 6 .357 mag.

am i the only one that noticed the balls of mashed potatoes and knife that looks like "cock and balls"?

Looks like it homo.......way to open the closet door on yourself meat gazer:supergay:

His uncle is a customer one in the same, but I had to drive out to get my look at it. It wasn't delivered to me for inspection and possible purchase. If the service guys uncle is a potential customer why didn't he come out to look at it? He didn't because they have a policy of letting employees take vehicles off the lot during normal business hours thusly limiting potential buyers an equal opportunity to purchase that vehicle.

That's the problem.

So what if I called ahead, I would have been treated the exact same. He would take my information down and not called me back. I see no difference on that point.

And as far as the last comment of your second sentence, no. I would of had no problem because more than likely that person would of had to put a deposit of some kind down on it before driving off. He is entitled to purchase if he has money on the vehicle. I would of had no problem with that move what so ever.

But seeing as this employees uncle had nothing in writing, money down, nothing. I was not give an EQUAL opportunity to purchase the truck.

That is not the kind of place I or YOU should be doing business with.

While I sympathize with your situation this is not entirely the dealership's fault. Did they know that you were interested before you walked in the door?? I bet not. If you knew you were seriously interested in the vehicle, and it was probably the only one if its kind on their website, a 5 minute phone call before you went up would have saved you a lot of trouble. I am willing to bet that had you called and said i will be in to check this out, they probably would not have let the mechanic take it home. While i agree he should have called you back sooner and let you know it was sold, buying a car is not bidding on a government job. Maybe you should write a letter to Obama you guys could pass some new legislation on EQUAL opportunity car buying. In case you haven't noticed, until cash for clunkers, many car dealers were hurting this year to make sales. If I was a decision maker at that dealership, and a mechanic said hey my uncle wants to buy this, can i drive it home to show him tonight? The answer is yes, absolutley, make the sale. Now had you called and said hey I am coming in tonight to check this out, and i am seriously interested. I would have told the mechanic sorry but we have a customer coming tonight to check it out, let your Uncle know that he is more than welcome to come in and look at it here.

Recon- how do you get those hornady's to shoot straight? Not had much luck with them myself.

Shitty- sent you a pm, give me a call we will come get it for ya.

Happy Birfday homo!

Check out Pasquale's Pizza in Westerville. Just south of Main on Rt 3. Great pizza and pasta. I've also been to Hamilton's Pub a few times recently...the pretzel are friggin awesome. Fried Bologna is good too, but nothing like the GNR in Waldo if you want the real deal.

+1, but why buy the sheep if you can get the sex for free?

:lol::lol:

Yes because bitching to their web department will be treated the same way. The goal here is for someone to read it that works for IP and has enough sense to go to their manager and say "Hey, our shit sucks"

Could not agree with you more......and we are working on it. If you ever decide to have website built....don't hire a russian web designer who's wife tries to explain to him what you want.

lol......we are currently working with a new company and hope to launch a new website by Jan. 1 2010. In the meantime.....hit me up via email, i would be glad to help anyone out. ctoombs@ironpony.com

I normally don't offer my opinions on here.....they are like assholes, everyone's got one...and it stinks to someone. Here is my 2 pennies. I agree racing is down as a whole. I have seen it at other tracks around the country. (For those of you who don't know me I run the trackside division of Iron Pony, handling direct consumer marketing, and trackside sales.) The one I thing i will say is that there are other tracks out there doing it better. If any of you have ever been to Barber outside of Birmingham, AL you know what I mean. Nicer facilities, nicer staff, more events than just racing going on at the facility during big race weekends. VIR for example last year had a big concert and stunt show after the racing action was over on Saturday evening. Not only did they attract a more diverse crowd, they also kept money rolling their way by offering the fans a reason to extend their visit to the facility. I have been vending/attending at Mid-Ohio since 2002. Each year I see the facility grow more battered and abused. Each year I have seen fewer vendors and attractions at the Supercycle weekend. This year was ugly. I have never seen so few vendors. I was amazed that not even Honda showed up to represent at the "Honda Supercycle Weekend" I mean really? I understand the economy isn't the best right now, but ok so bring a smaller set-up. I think the AMA/DMG had a lot to do with the fan attendance this past weekend, but i also think the folks at Mid-O have dug their own hole with fans as well. I have seen attendance down at other tracks as well....normally on Friday of the race weekend, they then show up in force on Saturday and Sunday. Still sad to see....i hope it all turns for the better soon.

Yeah they came over to the Iron Pony/YOC tents, wanted to know who was passing them out. lol......Rich "the lube guy's" wife had her panties all bunched up about it.

Likwid- are you still looking for an alternative route down? You could pick up St Rt 3 out of cleveland and cut over somewhere around Mohican. St Rt 97 will take you in to Lexington and out to Steam Corners Rd. Crowd Def looks better than last weekend. Stop by the Iron Pony tent and say hey. Looks we will have a chance at some rain tomorrow

This was in the Mansfield paper yesterday regarding the lack of fans at Mid-Ohio.....He calls it like it is....

I purposely didn't write anything about the new AMA Pro Racing because I didn't want what I've read and what others have told me to sway my opinion.

I wanted to see it with my own eyes and give it a proper chance to wow me.

Oh, I was wowed.

Folks can say what they want about the dumbed-down bikes, but that was the best action during a Honda Super Cycle Weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in four or five years.

If that goofball Johnny Rock Page, one of the all-time great attention seekers, doesn't get in the way of leaders Josh Hayes and Aaron Yates in the closing laps on Saturday in a desperate move to get TV time, longtime observers of the sport felt it could have been one of the best Superbike races in the last 15 years. As it was, it was outstanding.

The next day, Hayes and teammate Ben Bostrom gave the fans a couple of memorable moments in the Esses with a pair of passes and repasses, while Jamie Hacking and Danny Eslick had a last lap for the ages in the Daytona SportBike race.

Are the bikes the best in the world? Nope. But does that matter to the product? Not a bit.

I defy anyone to tell me the difference between the 1:24 Ben Spies ran at Mid-Ohio in 2007 on the greatest Superbike ever built for an American rider and the 1:25s seen this weekend with bikes the fraction of the cost of that factory Suzuki model.

I'll gladly trade the pimped-out forks and the super-performance do-dads that make it a million dollar piece of machinery for the more stock-looking model, if they're going to give us action like we saw this weekend over the lack of action we saw in 2007 and '08.

But I was wowed in other ways.

I was wowed by the complete lack of enthusiasm from everybody associated with the event. I got the vibe nobody was all-in and everybody was holding back: the track, the riders, the sanctioning body and even the fans.

The track got burned in 2006 by the riders and the AMA during the ill-fated fall Shootout and it appears those wounds haven't healed. For all the talk of "edu-cation, education, education," by track owner Michelle Trueman Gajoch, I didn't see a whole lot of reaching out nor nearly the amount of promotion as there was in the past.

The teams and riders are nickle-and-dimed by the new owners of the series, chiseled for passes here and licenses there, hammered for any violations and forced to race for prize money weekly racers at a local dirt track might scoff at. So when asked, many aren't too fired up to help out and do the extras like a media luncheon and golf outing. And on a sidebar, what exactly is the incentive for the privateers to compete?

AMA Pro Racing appears to want to do business on its terms, which is OK if the company is NASCAR and has 60 years of history to lean on and has evolved into a top four sports empire behind the NFL, MLB and NBA . These guys running AMA Pro might have NASCAR lineage and NASCAR ideas, but they ain't Big Bill France. The days of take-it-or-leave-it management are over.

Since taking over, they've alienated their paddock, ticked everyone off with the new rulebook and appear to be in the midst of running off most of the manufacturers. The sport's pooh-bah, Roger Edmondson, has a long history with motorcycle road racing, but is he ruling with a vision or vindictiveness?

I was wowed by more this weekend.

I was wowed by the rinky-dink manufacturers midway at Mid-Ohio. No displays from Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki and most telling by its absence was Honda, with no display at the Honda Super Cycle Weekend. Now tell me this isn't a series in trouble.

I was wowed by how two-bit everything looked. I didn't realize just how much the bike makers propped up the sport with their money. With the fancy façade gone, it had an amateurish vibe to it.

I was wowed by the incredible dearth of promotion. I always thought the old AMA had set the bar as low as it could go. I was wrong and I apologize to the good folks in Pickerington.

The one area new owners yipped most about was their ability to promote the sport. They had that ol' NASCAR magic in their background, which they vowed to bring to the bike game.

If their idea of promotion is having fans essentially miss the first half of the season due to the lamest TV package ever created, they are champs. If their idea of promotion is not reaching out to mainstream media outlets, they are the best. If their idea of promotion is having a bare-bones PR staff with next to no supplement from the makers, they've achieved the mark.

So is it any surprise the bike crowd at Mid-Ohio was the smallest in memory?

The fans spoke by not showing up.

Congratulations new AMA Pro Racing. The product was better than expected and everything else was worse.

You've wowed me in ways I never expected to be wowed.
