memorial day race day vote
-
it was initially intended as a complaint and a joke.
think of it this way... you're alone on a farm with a nearly cartilage-less knee, broken arm and no phone. on this farm there is a car with a burnt out clutch, a new clutch sitting on the seat, the shop manual and tools in the garage to replace said clutch; however, you've only changed a car's oil. you want a steak, but forgot to buy one from the schwan's man that morning and the store is 15 miles away. you could spend all day replacing the clutch to drive to the store, you could walk there and back, or just wait until the schwan's truck comes to the farm next week.
what do you do? obviously wait for the truck.
what will you do when you hear on the radio that schwan's isn't sending any drivers out all next week because there are forecasts for tornadoes all week?if that's a little too mentally involving for some of you, how about this: why do you people that watch football make jokes about "player x" fumbling the ball when he's hit from behind? think you could do better? why do you whine when "your team" doesn't win? think you could have won? how about when the coach makes a decision that you don't agree with? were you there? do you have all the facts about the situation?? i don't think so.
now what do you think? still think i'm so stupid for making a fairly weak complaint/joke? you'll be sure to notice all the anger and rage behind my words in the first post of this thread, because i am SO pissed off that the track day might be cancelled.
now, start taking shots at my dripping sarcasm, you know you want to.

that price to race is extremely high... but its not too bad i suppose given that there is barely a spectator's fee... -

it's a decent price when you look at the factors.
ya i suppose... not too bad of a track. Better than what I expected it to be at first. -
i remember asking a couple of guys about it last year (when i stopped by one saturday before work to see what kind of place it is) and if i remember correctly, it costs a lot more to run if you're extrememly fast. maybe it was in reference to some contest that was going on?

it is not my place to say what THEY SHOULD DO.
but 30 a pop for 6 hours is on the outrageous side. and that has changed my mind about running tomorrow.
a thought they should think about is
instead of 4ish times a year at 30 a pop, they could put some thought into maybe 8 times a year at 15 a pop.
i mean outta 4-5 months that track is open that is plenty of days to throw in 4 hours here and there.
but like i said it is not my track nor do i have any sayso on what goes on there.
but every other 3rd friday night sounds like it will give enuff time between track days that people will look forward to goin. i dunno just a thought.p.s. i have a few drinks in me, so hopefully this makes sense
edit* reasonably priced to me would be.
15 to run and 5 spectator fee -
Quit fucking bitching already christ. It's only $30. Where else can you have an afternoon of fun for fucking $30?
I guess it's different for myself having paid $75 to race a single day and only get 2-3 passes.
Everyone knows I'm the first to bitch about the track... but it's gonna happen, it's supposed to be relatively nice out, and I'm going to finally have my car out this year.LETS FUCKIN RACE ALREADY.

Alot of people need to settle down and stop bitching about the track not being open very much for the street legal crowd. At one point in time I was angry that there wasn't very many street legal days, but then I realized that there must be a reason why there aren't. If there are to many days then they won't be able to draw in a crowd, if they can't get enough people in they won't make money.
I Also realized it is the only track anywere near close to me, and that if it wasn't for them I would have nowhere to race. Last weekend when I drove up to the street legals, I drove an hour and a half to get there, paid, got tech inspected, and got fucked over by the rain. It isn't their fault, they can't control the rain, and they aren't happy when it rains, so they provided me a rain check to use for the next event-so I will be there tomorrow!
BE HAPPY WE HAVE A PLACE TO RACE!!

Anyone who wants more street legal track days to occur can do the following: Go find someone, or some business, to sponsor the event. Then tell them the daily track rental fee is in the neighborhood of $3600. As they walk away laughing, you may start to think about how nice it is to have the few street legal events that we do have.
Oh yeah, BTW, thanks Tintmasters for paying for us to use the track.
