Another Crash......way to go.

[woody11769]

I dont go to eagel much but races have been held there for years and I know alot of guys that look forward to racing there ......in my opinion the track cant keep up with the wild crazy HP trucks today when it started I dont think people ever dreamed trucks would run like they do now

[fuzzy]

I think they can make any track safer by doing what every other racing league have done
nascar,nhra,indy,any dirt track racing,
Limit traction
take away cut tires make them run smaller tires

ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.  Good input. You are right, cut and paddle tires should not be bolted on these mud bog trucks in such small arenas.
Down south they are also installing catch fences at races with high power trucks, cut/tractor tires and jumps, they are thinking proactively down there.

i was there all the other trucks stopped just fine. his throttle was stuck for sure.  there isnt a whole lot you can do in that situation. and i think the shorter stop area means the truck will be less like likely to gain more speed in this type of situation. i dont race these things but to have a promotor like yourself get on a website ,that alot of racers are on ,just to try make another promotor look bad seems very unprofessional.

If something looks wrong and you do not speak up.  When that something does go wrong, you will wish you had spoken up. If publicizing poorly structured event grounds makes 'promoters' and racers think of the consequences and better their track set up, then the point got across.
No promoter was ever outed or even mentioned. Looks like a few guys are on the defensive.

Maybe they need a remote shut down like monsters trucks have, or make it so all trucks get the power killed 5-10 yards after the finish,  then once the truck stops they can reset and fire back up and drive to the pits, of course that would require trucks to.run mechanical linkage steering no full hydraulic so they can stay in control

For those of you who do not know, momsmotorsports is a promoter of mud racing. Now, I think you are going about this the wrong way, posting on here and greatlakes4x4.com in a negative way that will only hurt the sport of mud running that you yourself are trying to promote and make safe. There are better ways to bring attention to the areas that are lacking safety. I may be wrong but this seems like a direct attack against those who compete in the West Michigan Mud Runs races. Maybe instead of bashing their race tracks and attacking the drivers you could contact Tim or Jason and talk about your concerns, or are they taking too much attention away from the runs you promote and hurting your bottom line? You should know that you are hurting the sport and you are not being proactive in making this a safer and bigger event for more people to enjoy.  There are better ways to do this, acting childish is not one of them. Just my .02

i agree a remote shutdown would be one of the safest ways to go for sure. and the reason i say it was unprofessional to put this on the internet is because if you have a problem with his event maybe you should call him up and be like hey man i got an idea. not get on the internet and bash his program.

Correction, was a promoter of mud racing. If publicizing poorly structured safety at events is going to hurt the sport. What is going to be the outcome when an innocent spectator dies. That will hurt the sport.

Those promoters were never mentioned. In fact videos have been posted at other unsafe venues as well, never mentioning any promoters.

Why make a call and waste my breath. If one accident after another doesn't get their attention what will.

Some of these tracks have been known to be unsafe for years. Putting more high powered trucks on them and the odds of something horrific happening are increasing exponentially.

Acting childish? A video with a one line tag.

Sure got everyone's attention.  Race safe. I am done.

accidents have been happening in motorsports of all kinds since their beginning. unfortunately this is how we learn. there is a responsibility to everyone involved, from drivers to track builders to spectators. realistically we all know what is safe and what is not. it is up to us all to work together to improve and preserve this sport we love.

sonuds like somone needs more trucks at there events

[mudbillyredneck]

 If "they" have a short shut down area....."they" should take away some tire from the racers .


Just saying , they take away traction in every other form of racing

[betterbeaters]

if you take away the fast trucks or make them run different tires or limit motors you wont have a show and no one will show up.. things happen its a motor sport the same this could have happened if he had 33s you never know!

Looks like rick (mom's) is at it again

That group has always been shady dates way back into the 90's when mud racing was mud racing, dad uses to run the door slammer classes used to be really popular back then it always seemed like there members would always get the better draw in the line up or would alway have faster times than any one else then u would compete against them at someone's else's event and they would get their doors blown off. Or protest that someone was cheating, because they were getting beat when it turns out that they were the ones cheating got to the point were dad said F it and never went back
