me and my pancakes was there your side is untruthful you know what took place and everybody else too.but when you get 2014 race dates in peoria set please post would love to attend maby you will be to busy to bad mouth every body is it lonley being perfic thought i would ask being no one else in your world is? I think it is important to say No One who is an Overlander Member is interested in your slurs, mean comments and your poor judgement of this Club. You always seem to come to life when something goes wrong or affects this group. You need to find a different group of people to tell your perfect story to. I feel we are the better because we really don't care about all your contacts and your perfect world and what YOU could of done. For someone who knew he was to be let out of this club because of his dishonest remarks... who constantly has judged this club as a failure. We are better off.....Peoria is sadden by what has happened the city has control of where are track was and our agreement was with the HOI Fair Board. We the club wish and worked hard to save it. It just wasn't in the card's so to speak. For those that argue with Jeff, even me my remarks will not stop him it just fuels his flame. So let him rant and tell his story of his knowledge and let him fill page after page just know we are better than this and we have all gone on and became a better club with more members and made money to keep this club together. Keep in mind... we have not quit we will only have a few fair races this year. But we are currently working on new ground for 2015.... Keep the support of this club close to your heart for we are not a failure... Thanks for reading and joining in on our website. This is a forum for all. We respect those that respect us.... I believe that is the true saying. Justin we believe it you as our president and the body of our club that we will continue on. |

Bertha not "panckes", that is a step up from "batter" that you have not yet acheived. Do you see how I speak of specifics because I speak of actual happenings, and you reference only generalities because they are untruthfulsave with dish. Once again "You are playing checkers and I'm playing chess." As for promoting races myself? I only stepped up to help promote when directly asked when I was an Overlander. And I unsteppef when I could see that less than honerable intentions once again ruled majority. I thanked the Expo Gardens Directors for the personal offer roughly three years ago, and I assure you Bertha I will not be promoting races anytime soon. Just because I'm successful at it doesn't mean I enjoy doing it. I'll stick to the river for my recreation. But don't be surprised if we invite you down for some breakfast. I love me some PANCAKES! Lol

A squirrel turd? Really? Now that's a good one, I don't care who you are.
Bertha, Lenda, or Godzilla whoever your calling yourself... I can' t get over how the Overlanders and or guest posters on this board repestedly equate "proactive behavior" and "successful expectations" with being PERFECT? That is simply ludercrist. It actually shows just how far out of focus your aspect ratio's really are. I just saddens me seeing a once thriving club flounder miserably. Justin can be a good leader,he has
the ability and probably is the Overlanders best chance to be the game saver! I hope that he gets your support when making tough decisions.
PS. Justin, "DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AIDE!!"

I havnt researched a whole lot, for that would make me just fish, so don't stand on my words any heavier than I would. But Failure to prepare is probably one truth. having no Peoria race, being kicked out, what have you, was tossed around for about a year. With very little if any TALK of action.
I WILL NOT POINT BLAME. because that is only a distraction and I only hope, however it happens, that history doesn't repeat.
McQ, I'm not sure to be jealous, mad, or forgetaboutit. I know your not quite an innocent caring bystander, but it really surprises me that no matter what you always seem to become, bigger than, the priblem within the club. I'm not sure why, that one is a thinker! (Meaning it takes deep thought to figure out(for the non thinkers))
Anyway I'm sure I myself have become part of the distraction by this point so sleep tight yall

Just to try and clear up,The overlanders did not get kick out of the expo gardens fair grounds. The city board shut down everthing at the fair grounds other than the 10 days of the fair and the reason we are not having a fair race is because the city says the ground where the track is, is not part of the fair grounds only the fenced in area is fair grounds. We our not the only ones who loose the fair cannot have anything like dog shows, charity events, etc. The fair grounds are to be used for nothing more then the fair itself. And I think the only motor sports is tractor pulls, I heard no 4x4 truck pulls and no demo's
As for how we lost the fair, we did not find out about it until december by than all the meetings were closed meetings, because I myself tryed to get into the meeting and was deined entry. Myself and many other club members have been talking to the fair board and are still talking to the board. The president of the motor sports is still trying and working on getting us back for 2015, he does not want to loose us. I know serval club memebers our working on new locautions for this year.So all that said I hope this helps clearup things. As past president for the last 3 years I would like to say thank you to all the racers and there familys that attended the races and all who helped work. Don't give up on the club they are a strong club and will have many more race's in the future. I'am sure Justin will get them posted as soon as he can. Again thank you Roger

Roger you and I have always gotten along, and I respect the effort you have given. I feel your a genuine guy, and my interpretation of my friends position with the Expo-Garden's draw a slightly different perspective. I hope your sources are better than mine and I hope you get back in there next year. Overlanderish you too have some good observations. I'll agree with you that I'm not entirely fault free. As you know with the decisions of authority, you will not please everyone, and I fall solidly in that category. Politically correct decisions are just that. I made decisions that attracted the racers and benefited the club. We (Doug and I's guidance with the hard work of the club members) in three years put more assets in the Overlander's possession than they had in all their 25 previous years combined. I'm not tooting my own horn by any means,just stating what might not be known. I went out of my way to stop the club's suggestions to put money in the classes I raced in while they routinely put excessive amounts of money in the classes they raced in hopes that they would cash in. For every post you see here in objection to my perspective, there at 10+ that will not post because they have been pushed out of the sport by this organization and have moved on. I have never made a single penny off of the Overlander's from my involvement with them and have donated 100's of honest hardworking hours in preparation of their events. I have driven 100's of miles to get equipment for them. Never asking for a penny. I agree Overlanderish I might be very controversial on this board (that I had to fight the Overlander's to create) but I have been generous to this club until the end asking for nothing in return. As a token of my willingness to support harmony within this organization.I would like to invite all the Overlander's and anyone on this board who to stop by and celebrate "St.Patrick's day" with our IRISH family. Like always there will be all the food and drink you can absorb. All friends here. Stop by and you will have a good time. I just came home with 20 pounds of potatoes, 6 large heads of cabbage, 75 pounds of corned beef and a large selection of beverages. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  |

My question is if this has been known since December why was it not brought up until march? I know I personally spent thousands getting my truck ready for your rules which are totally different then any where else's but we decided to support your club as from the two Peoria races we went and watched looked as though you were struggling and thought a couple fast trucks would help you out. I'm sure we aren't the only one that did this. a heads up woulda been nice that there was a chance no races this year but once again overlanders 4x4 club said screw the non members shoulda known better then try to build to your rules again

Just an insight... Down in Havana,Il there are opening up a mudbog site by their race track... That could poss be a place to look into. My family is very bummed to hear about Peoria! We went every year and it was a tradition to spend fathers day with all the other individuals who bared the heat! Do you all race in Missouri? That is were we are going to be moving and hate to lose the overlanders group all together:) Please let me know...Thanks
