I guess you must lock your rigs up!

Nitro Joe Jackson · 06-27-2009, 04:21 PM

Sorry i didnt get around to see most people, between the heat, the work we had to do on my buddy's (Frank Jenkins) SG Pont LeMans (Broke trans bigtime!) and taking care of the parents 3 cars,i was whipped everyday and ready for my Mt Dew/Jack mix mug. Track heat or ?? was pure hell trying to dial on
On a real sad note:
Hope none of you got robbed like my friend Alex Miller did (SG racer)someone walked into his dad's RV, took all his money out of his billfold and credit cards, by noon Thursday they went to Norwalk K-Mart and Walmart and rang up over $700 in charges.
Sad thing is i heard of others getting hit also. Really sad now you have to worry about theft at the race track and if we could of found the person that did it we would of made him wish he never seen a track before.

This was first time at Norwalk I did not like being pitted right next to campground.We locked trailer between rounds

The great thing about Drag Racing is the access the fans have to the cars and pit area. Unfortunately this "access" can lead to things like stolen parts, tools, pit vehicles etc.
Personally the further I am away from spectator foot traffic, the better I feel. I dont like being pitted near the Grandstands, too many people walking between trailers.

I think the real problem is that the track parks the same class together, then when you are call up to the lanes there is nobody around to watch out for you, and the thieves know this!!! Sorry to hear about ray's missing money.

I heard that they got these guys

This is not the first time I`ve heard of this issue at Norwalk....I heard a truck and trailer were stolen years ago and they chased the guy to Wakeman before they caught him.

..Sorry to hear the bad news.

someone had a golf cart stolen last year.

I heard someone broke into Bernie Weaver's motor home also but he didn't think they took anything because he carried his money and cards with him. Good thing, looks like campers maybe looking for cash and cards. We started locking up after we heard.

That was my golf cart. It is custom painted with ghost flames, LED Neons, roof, radio, windshield....The Campground JERKOFFS decided to steal it and crash into stacked up garbage cans all night, destroyed my paint, broke the windshield, headlight, and neons, and this was what I found when I was going into like 4th round of S/C in 08. Very hard to swallow (wound up losing that round). And to top it off I demanded to speak with Bill Bader, was told it was impossible, they insisted "this did not fall onto deaf ears and I will do everything in my power to make sure this situation is made right"

NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE EVER AGAIN.

about $500.00 worth of damage to my cart along with hours of time!

TRUST NOBODY!

Anyone in Norwalk still want to make it right????? (732) 762-9000 otherwise BITE ME

maybe campers shouldn`t be in racer`s pits?is there any other nhra nats that do this?
i witnessed a drunk camper doing a wheelie on his dirt bike lost control and almost hit an elderly couple walking along the fence.why do we need insurance and a pit vehicle sticker and the drunk campers don`t
