Since the reg. list fills up in about 30 seconds and only half the people that signed up, showed up ( not exsactly, but still ), I think the TR track event should be pre-pay only !!

I was VERY willing to pay to race. Very willing to show up at 4:00pm and race at 5:00pm, but I didn't even get my first run till 7:30pm or so. At that point I was happy to run, but still. I think its BS that people sign-up and never show up, when people like myself would have taken there place in a second...

The second suggestion is a little more cruel. No more 5000hp nitromethane drag cars !! 10.50 E.T. since this IS a street car event, the full blown race cars get plently of track time at about every event other than this one, and honestly I'm tired of waiting in the lanes b/c some RACE CAR hit the wall ( b/c the track is a little dirty b/c we drive street cars ) or b/c a race car tried to run 8.9999 instead of 9.0 and broke something, but that's just me...

I didn't like driving through the water box either, but I guess the track staff had a good reason for that... I guess....

 

Ummmmm...the guy that oiled the track was a street car can we get all of you street guys to put diapers on?

 

1. It's a RACE TRACK, it's where RACE CARS go to RACE.. there is no mention that this is a street car only event, it's a whomever pays to run event.. If you want a street car event, run 1320, race cars are not allowed to run there (nor would they want to).
- here's a tissue

2. for the most part, anyone with a decently powered vehicle is going to only make 3-4 runs MAX.. while a large number of street cars are making twice that in the # of runs...

3. if you don't like 1 or 2, put up the money yourself and invite whomever you want. I don't think it's any more than $3500 to rent the track...

respectfully - a former race car owner...

 

+1000. Fucking retards

 

I like seeing the full drag cars run down the track.....It would get kinda boring with just street cars running all night....Plus if they break ohh well its part of going to the track.Ive been going/running at the tracks for years and this happens alot.....So get used to it or dont go

 

i would much rather follow an 8 sec car then wait for a 18 sec honda to get down the track

 

same here i would much rather follow after a racecar, because i know the track has been prepped for such high HP automobiles, it sure beats following a 15,14,13, second mustangGT!!!!!

I don't think any of the big cars broke anyway. The nova had a fire, but it didn't really mess up the track. Usually it's the smaller cars running slicks on shit axles and breaking. I run low 9's and will be in the high 8's with some new plugs and gas. I drive my car on the street quite a bit, just because of the time I run I don't have a "street car" There will be plenty of street cars in the 9's very soon once they get the bugs worked out. Sounds like you have little man syndrome.

 

Run what you brung, and I have a tissue for the author.

 

Prepay will be an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE for TR staff.

ABSOLUTE.

NIGHTMARE.

Maybe a mass-emailing should go out a random number of days before the announcement/registration of the upcoming event to let people know that if they care, they better be on their toes.
