The majority of the ABA Oldsmar crew loaded up the boats and the kids and had a awesome day out on the water (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) No drama there, just a lot of sunburn!

As part of the High Springs crew I want to state that this was not our decision. I was not there when Erma spoke to TLACK but her direct comment to me was they had to go. They were issued a media pass (that was to take pictures). Product distribution and blow up displays constitutes a vendor which was not approved. It was explained to me that it was a conflict with their agreement w/Bawls. As track personal we were under contract with the NBL which if we did not follow could affect our payment from them.
On another comment, our "event planner" was nothing more then someone we hired to help us coordinate auxcillery services (trash, parking, vendors, city services, security) and fund raising for our local program. We have a very small but truely dedicated volunteer base that planned (and worked many hours to prepare the track) and carried out the successful event. With his help...we were even able to take some time (not much but some) to enjoy the event and watch our kids race.
I would like to publicly thank the NBL, SSA all the great # of volunteers from Florida and surrounding tracks that made this a great weekend!

free product is not vending in my eyes but maybe i can't see !!!!!!!!!!! I never saw a blow up display anywhere but in our tent, and they are our sponsor....BAWLS is our sponsor as well. the problem was not with the BAWLS people, its the NBL people.
Typical NBL B.S., If a team has a sponsor they should be allowed at the track, no matter what they give away.
But again we are talking about the NBL, Slow death that what this is the ABA is laughing all the way to the bank. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK NBL
I can see the nbl moto count going down !!!!!!!!!!! right down the drain. If I had a job with the NBL I would be worried your job could be eliminated next!!!!!!!!JUST ASK DAVE.

God forbid someone want to come give out free stuff. The NBL needs to quit worring about getting every penny out of our pocket, weather a vendor or racer it's all about the money.
You can't even protest a race without money. whats up with that? Now I pay to race I pay to make sure they do their job too.Oh and I pay to give stuff away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nbl is a big joke I CAN NOT WAIT TILL ABA HITS THIS STATE AND THEN I WILL HAVE A CHOICE WHERE TO SPEND MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It won't be long change is a coming sooner than you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
