how is it the club voted 10 to 3 the joseph car couldn't race yet mitchell said the hell with it and let it race anyway. How can you own a car and head the club and not be unbiased? complete BS

Well Scmitty what do you expect when 2 of the directors (Greg and Dave) clearly have their own agenda? Mel,Greg and Dave voted to let him run and decided screw the club we will do what we want. Mel made a joke out of the street mods or whatever that class was when he ran his Mach 1 Mustang years ago and will make a joke out of this club as well. A coupla drivers decided not to bring their car to the track until this outcome is resolved. Mel = controversy. What else is new.

Interesting, considering that Mel did not get a vote, and Greg is not the one who decided to allow him to race. Every single member of the club was given the chance to look over the car, and not one person could give a reason why it wasn't legal..NOT ONE..and it seems to me that most of what I see on here is posted by fans, and full of heresay..fans are supposed to be supporters in good times and in bad..not bashers..if you don't like it, don't watch it..let the rest of us enjoy us..Everyone I spoke to..even those that aren't Joseph fans, thought it was cool to see a car out there that was different..like the Little Lincoln track used to be..you know, the reason for this club in the first place...I applaud the club for coming together to try and handle this fairly instead of one person..also a car owner, hence biased as well..from calling all the shots..I think it was a good race, and all the cars looked good...don't ruin it for the rest of us, please

Hey lincolnfan, for your information, Mel took the car out himself!!!! Greg took his red 49 & told Mel to drive it & he didn't. So the choice was Mels not greg or Dave. You need to quit making false statements unless you know the whole truth!!!!

this post is for lincoln fan also. greg is not killing the club. sounds to me like you are jealous. next time you all have to look over a car & decide if it is legal or not, someone should speak up at that time & not run and bi+ch about it all over the pits. I was there when greg told mel to unload the chevy from the rollback & mel said F no, I'm running my own car. mel is the one who lost 150.00 tire & no points, not greg or mel. and for your info lincolnfan, greg & dave were pretty pissed about it. greg was so mad, he left the track right after the race. mel is pigheaded & when someone tells him 2 times he can't run his car, lookout because you know his car is going out on the track!!!!!!!!!

To lincoln fan: blah, blah, blah!! Who cares! If you think the club is being run in the ground, step up to the plate & you try & run it! As far as Greg, Dave & Mel trying to cheat, you are a total looser, because I have been around racing all my life & when people call other people cheaters, it is because they don't have the car to win......Look a Jamie Wagner? he wins quite a bit, are you calling him a cheater? I don't think so. Have you ever heard of talent behind the wheel of a racecar? I beleive that is the word you need to be using instead of "cheaters" . I can't remember the last time Mel won, can you? If they are cheating, they must not be getting the correct cheating TIRES!!!

Hey guys, Mel Joseph Jr has lost his nerve & needs to park his car. He cries if he get tore up or loses. He was a good racer years ago, but now he needs to be a spectator. He is the pot that is stirring the shi+ with lincolnfan & lincoln watcher.

OMG, we finally agree on something lincolnfan! Mel is a spoiled little rich kid & he does cry soooo much. I am just saying, he wants his way with his orange car & he don't care who he takes down with him. He is just playing with Greg & Dave & if they can't see it, well then they are idiots. I am not Mel & would not be him if you gave me a million dollars. Truth is, I can't stand him & he is a washed up driver. He needs to park the orange car & Greg needs to put someone in the drivers seat of his red little lincoln car. Someone a little younger & wanting to live his dream, not somebody like Mel who thinks the world revolves around him! Greg & Dave's problem is they are afraid to hurt Mels feelings. I wish they would let me tell him his racing career was over with mitchell's cause I would "get er' done".

I wish I could say I don't care what all of you say, but obviously if I'm responding, then I do. I don't know that I've seen such low class, hurtful, and downright mean stuff said about people since high school; notes passed back and forth, and talking behind backs, heresay, and "so and so said" and armchair antics Nope, Mel doesn't write on here, doesn't even want to know what is said, but people tell him anyway. I'm not hiding behind anyone, I am his girlfriend, and I have watched him race for 13 years now. Sure he's a little older than some still out there, maybe his glory days are gone..but he's a racer at heart. How many of you know he's been racing since he was 4 years old..or that he raced at the little lincoln track? This is what he wants to do. No, he doesn't want all the glory and attention for himself..he just wants to be in the race car. those of you that race must know that feeling. I also grew up around here, so I had the same "little rich boy" viewpoint as some of you did. then I met him, and got to know him..he is not his father. For many years, he worked more than full time, then worked on his car at night... the money for his cars didn't come from his dad..it came from busting his butt to get what he wanted. He has never been handed anything easily and his dad wasn't always the most supportive; sure, he got some help from friends of his dad's along the way, and some contacts some of us only wish we had..me included...and obviously he has has some success. We wouldn't even be discussing this if he had been last row Joe for 50 years. I know it looks easy to those looking in. I wish I could be as mean as you, and say you are just jealous..but you know what..I really feel sorry for you, because you just don't understand..and you don't know him the way his friends do..which he doesn't have many of..because of this very reason..No, don't feel like I'm defending him, just trying to suppport him..
You guys want to bust him down so much, think his car should be banned..think about what you are saying..he's put more than two years work into this car..hours and hours...and regardless of what you ridiculous people think, there isn't a massive cash flow for things..barely even a trickle..but think what you want..you will anyway. For those of you that think he's using Greg, then you don't know either of them. Mel has been a friend of Greg's for a long time, and has been extremely supportive to Greg and the Mitchell family along the way. Greg started this club, for people to race and have fun..that's what Mel wants too.
I just for the life of me cannot understand why this has become such a huge deal...it's a club of a bunch of guys that run 10 laps a race, 10-12 races a year..it's a car..one that was built, not bought..with hours and hours of work put into it..I can attest to that from the last couple years. I joked once that it would never see the track..BECAUSE it was taking so long. But he worked at his own pace, and yes, he had some help..I don't know of any one car builder, driver, or owner that doesn't..But I do know someone that would come to the track to race a little lincoln car with one other person to help..sometimes no one to help..Mel...how many other people do that..not many. Some say he whines and complains..If I just ruined a $150 tire, I'd probably complain too, but he wasn't blaming anyone but himself, it just meant back to the drawing board. AND I don't know of any single driver in the racing world that doesn't have a fit when they get wrecked.
As you continue to rip at him, think of the other people involved..you are hurting me..the past few weeks have been horrible..It's amazing how many people won't listen to reason. they are so clouded by hatred for Mel, or jealousy, or whatever it is.. also..this has been more than two years of my life too..I was excited to see the finished product, and proud of the work he did. Each time at the track, I get excited to see him race. I love that he still, after all these years, has a passion for the sport. The Mel Joseph I know is hard woking, and not willing to ask anyone to do what he wouldn't do himself. He is more than happy to help anyone of his friends; he has open and honest about his car, and has changed everything that has been asked of him. You are hurting his friends that have helped on the car, that have supported him over the years. You are hurting Greg, because you think there's some kind of huge conspiracy. AND, you are hurting a little 2 year old, who has come to watch every Little Lincoln race that Poppop has raced in, and has been to victory lane a few times, too - I'm sure some of you have seen him. That little boy idolizes him, and loves being around the car and the track..Maybe you should look at racing through the eyes of this little guy, who just wants to see the cars go fast.
I'm sorry this has been so long, and I can promise you I will not respond again, but I had to vent one last time, before I try to put this away, before it turns me into evil thinking people with nothing better to do than bash people just trying to do what they love to do.
