Dogs at the Track

Jim Wahl · 09-08-2013, 08:18 PM

I bring two labs to the races with me. They stay in the motor home unless they have to do their duty, then I always pick up after them. What makes me mad is dog owners who let their dogs poop in areas where someone could step in it, drive over it, or kids play in it! As far as I am concerned, it is cruel to tie an animal up to the truck, trailer, or motor home and leave them. You will never hear my dogs bark unless you come into the motor home when I am not there, then you are in deep dog poop! Tonka has become very possessive of "his" motor home!

Generators are another thing. I agree with the NHRA rules on them. there is no replacement for consideration of your neighbors. Quiet generators and exhaust stacks are the only way to go. Jim

What it really comes down to is a lot of people in this world are just very inconsiderate of other people around them. It happens everyday, from the person driving 50 mph in the hammer lane, the people walking at a snail's pace 4 wide down the aisle at wal-mart, and all the other things mentioned before. People just do not take other people into consideration these days.

Couldn't agree more. There are a lot of people who have an attitude of "too bad," or "I don't care," or worse. See it all the time in restaurants too, with parents letting their kids run amuck, or sitting there doing nothing as their child is screaming and crying while others are trying to enjoy their meal (including others with children who actually know how to behave, or parents who know to take a crying baby outside until calm). Then, they have the nerve to glare at you while you're taking it all in and shaking your head in disbelief. It's really a sad, sad situation.....

At the gators this year ray miller walked his boxer to my pit to do his his duties. I politely ask him to not do that. It was pretty much in between my race car an my trailer. He acted like a azz and let his dog crap an then he walked off like he was some sort of king. I think the dude is a douchebag now. And I will never ever consider a miller car. I hope I have to crap one day when we are at the same track because I am going to return the favor.

I have the cutest little poodle but she barks at every moving object. Lol she gets to stay home in the air with a sitter.

He would have found it on the hood of his car if it had been me... "Excuse me, you forgot something..."

I love dogs, but that was just a low class move

The dog taking a crap in another person's pit spot story is absurd, but other than that, you guys are at the race track. If you want peace and quiet, you have the wrong hobby. Maybe HR9121 should learn some consideration for other people driving around him when he decides to get in the "hammer it" lane and disobey speed limits. Maybe SSGT should learn some consideration for families with young children when your shaking your head at them in disbelief, obviously oblivious to the challenges of parenthood as small children go through different phases of development. Consideration is a two-way street.
