Well I hate to get into this before posting Jeff's e mail but if there has been NO complaints to HIM before how would he even know about it. It's not like that's all he does at Norwalk is to keep an eye on the Q16.......seriously! Normally they are racing 3 cars and there tent set up. Have anyone tried to talk to them at Norwalk they are always surrounded by tons of people/ customers. Like I said I Will post the e mail later.

hey guys its not that i have a beef with anybody. i want everybody to be aware of how it went down so they dont let it happen to them. if your a racer you go to win money not pass it up for something you wont get because you were an "alternate" thats my point. i also said if i was kauffman and had sponsored anything i would want it to be right not knowing where my money was going or how it is to be split up is not good. jeff may not have handled it the way i thought it should have been handled. thats my opinion and dont really matter. if you put your name on something i would suggest making sure it is all the way it says on fliers or anything else. not saying kauffman did anything or that the track did anything wrong just isnt right to post all 16 cars will be paid if its not true. not out to hang anybody just making sure its changed before next year and maybe be more specific! danny

Well i think this whole thread could have been handled better then it was. Racers & NON-racers were ready to hang KRE BEFORE knowing all the facts! Seems to me that's a good way to LOSE a sponcership, not to bright! Specially that they have been sponcering the Q16
Like forever. Ill bet Jeff will look into it.....like I said earlier this was the FIRST he heard about it! GTO George |

Danny, I don't have a beef with you.
I just don't like the idea of making a post that seems to be directed at making KRE look bad. When in actuality they are not at fault. Your first course of action should have been with SD Promotions, then if they said who was at fault then make a post on here with all the details. And not this: Quote:

If I was the sponsor of the class or race, I would have second thoughts about it in the future. KRE's name was first mentioned and as it goes, seems like some piling on. But the same was true for the Butler sponsored race. As a matter of fact, Glen Sedig was never paid from last year (2012) for winning best reaction time in the heads up class. Who is the common denominator here?
Danny, it's total BS that this has happened and I would be on the phone with two groups, first Super Duty Promotions, then the Baders. Calvin Hill Hill Performance 708-250-7420 |

Listen this whole thread is stupid, KRE did Nothing wrong, they supply the money and WE should be thankful they do!! They Didn't make the rules and had no knowledge of them, heck I've been running the Q16 longer then anyone here bitching sbout it and I didn't know about the rules, So unless you guys have another sponcer willing to kick in the money I would just calm down. I for one like the race and I don't have a problem with it. This is not the way to get rules change ( by trying to hang the sponcer) VERY stupid!

George you are the worst spokes person KRE could ever ask for IMO. You just don't get it or cant comprehend what is be said in here. NO ONE HERE IS BASHING KRE The thread is titled "Q16". You can try and read into it all you want but it is not about them. All he said was he asked KRE about it and they did not have a answer. We understand where the problem lies (S&D). So don't get all butt hurt about it and STFU! You are the one who is repeatedly bringing their name into it.

Where are the RULES published that state "all 16 places will be paid...unless you are an alternate?" Everyone reading this is in agreement that everyone running first round should have been paid if you made a pass, alternate or not.
No one has said they are not thankful for the sponsorship KRE has put forth. After a few posts were made and folks understood the situation, it quickly turned to many stating they would be upset if they were in KRE's shoes. If my name was on a sponsorship, I would damn well make sure those running the race I sponsored were taken care of. At the end of the day, KRE's name is on the race, not SD Promotions (which seems to be where the problem lies). No one is on a KRE witch hunt, get off of your damn bandwagon! People are trying to understand the situation. It is apparent that KRE sponsors the Q16 and has little to no input on how their money is spent. Wise or not? That is for them to decide. At the end of the day, SD Promo and/or the track owes Danny and Sikgoat an answer and that has been the case for the last several pages. No one is trying to change rules that I can see...people just want what is advertised followed! But while we are on the subject of rule changes...I think having 8 open bodied slots and 8 full bodied for the format is f'ing stupid. There has not been a full open bodied field for the 15 years I have been attending the event (that I can remember anyway). The way the rules are written, what is stopping someone from showing up in a 12second rail and taking the money because the field is nowhere near full on the open body side. I think the Q16 should be the quickest 16 qualifiers...period! That would eliminate filling all the door cars into the open slots when only 3 open show up. Would only make alternates on no shows and cars with breakage. My 2 cents...
