and thank you for the appearance money check.

I am going out on a limb here and saying that I would bet that there is no appearance money. Eagle Jet Int’l is own by Rick Gabor who sponsors the Top Gun Sprint Car Series here in Florida.

There you go again Albee…running off at the keyboard with no facts or knowledge of the situation …and what if they are paying her to come…is that not track promotion? Does that not possibly bring more fans and competitors to his track?

You can’t have it both ways…

I was trying to get Matt Albee to make an appearance at OSW this Friday but his appearance fee is way too high!!!

I, for one, have no appearance fees… my appearance scares most folks!

I also tell people I don’t smoke, but I do occasionally burst into flame…

Those appearances don’t just happen without something for something…

At least she’s a good looking gal! :smiley:

I can’t just show up anywhere. My appearances have to be spread out as i’m in such demand. Hence the high fees.

Will there be a large showing of SLM for the race Saturday?

I doubt it since Desoto is also running Late Models

The guy puts out a respectful & informative release of the teams plans for the weekend… and everyone cries ‘scandal’.

Besides, even if there is some kind of appearance money (though I’m willing to bet there is NO deal here), it’s been happening since the start of racing history. Get the ‘big name invader’ to your track, and promote the HELL out of the “Gunslinger vs The Local Stars” angle. It has been putting asses in seats for well over 100 years.

This is neither NEW, nor FISHY. Just be happy that Johanna will showcase her talents at this track, when I’m sure they had their pick of a dozen tracks to attend.

Not really a big deal or anything that hasn’t been done for years…nobody said scandal…
If she did get something, it doesn’t really matter. :natur008:
