MADHOUSEWhen I reviewed the forum this afternoon, I was taken back by the negative comments and the baseless speculation regarding the Madhouse series.First of all this is a reality show and not a Hollywood movie. Every inch of the film was shot on site in Winston-Salem. The emphasis on controversy is because the producers believe that this would result in more people watching the show. There will be thirteen shows aired on the History channel, hopefully as the series progresses more racing footage will be shown.Bowman Grey Stadium is the oldest short track in America. Not only that, it continues to draw up to 15,000 fans every Saturday night. One would think that these facts would be considered before taking the position that the track operators dont know what they are doing. Of course they like many before them they use racers to their advantage in order to promote their fan base.Bowman Grey is a very short track that lends itself to controversy because it is so difficult to pass on. In fact the track is inside a foot ball field that is still used for foot ball games during the off season. Burt and Jason Myers are third generation racers that for years have scraped together mostly used motors and parts in order to be able to race. I began to sponsor them about four years ago and I assure you that they are not about to lose that sponsorship.Junior Miller has raced at Bowman Grey for all most forty years. Junior is a very completive driver and with that mush racing history with the Myers family it is not difficult to understand that a strong rivalry would develop between them.Hopefully this series will be successful and some of the money will flow down to the racers that so badly need it. I am sure that all involved would appreciate as much support as possible and that the producers would appreciate constructive criticism.

Bill,I worked with your Dad at Banjo's along with Freddie McCall and Shorty Edwards, when Banjo had the Pontiac deal during the early 60's. At the time we were very close friends. We lost touch when he moved to Spartanburg and I left Asheville.I have often wondered what happened to him and would appreciate it if you would let me know if you are able to find any answers.Regards:Roy Trantham
