tonight was a typical night at sunshine a car broke something at the top of the track so we sat in line for an hour and a half. while the race cars ran three times. street cars pay the same $15 to test and tune so why do we not get fair treatment. when we confronted a staff member his response was "this is a money race you will go when you go, it's not our fault there is oil on the track". the wait because of the oil is not my problem it the fact that the race cars went 3 times to our 1. the same thing has happened to me at bradenton in the past WTF!:roll:

is because there is different pro classes running it may look like just one that keeps on running but its not.u got super comp and comp eliminator and the fast 8 cars useally run on wednesdays and with the big race going down on friday an king of the street/strip or stock suspension cars would run in one class seeing how they run off of a different tree then every one else.

how ever it is suppose to be test and tune everyone pays the $15 everyone should get the same runs. also there was a vega there that shut the track down three times they should have black flaged him till next week. they would not have let a street car keep going like that. but everyone has a different argument you must have a race car. I guess i'll just have to built a race car if I want fair run time on T&T nights.

with there generally being 2-3 times as many "street cars" as there are "race cars" it will take longer for them to push the "street cars" through the lanes. With the oil downs last night it put everyone behind, and the quick 8 qualifying and runs are going to get pushed up ahead of everyone else, that's just the way it goes. What time did you get to the track?

JLsilver02
10-07-2004, 12:49 PM
I was at the track from 5:45 car number 23 I got to make 2 passes between then and 9:15 when I left.

regardless of there being more street cars fair is fair we wait race cars should wait too.

they need a street car only night like club 1320 at BMP.

10-07-2004, 01:30 PM
well you have the ability to go to 1320 and make as many passes as you want, but I'm not allowed to because I have a "race" car. THey don't have a "race car only" night, so the "race cars" come out on the open TnT. I guess your options are deal with it @ Sunshine or go to 1320 if you don't want to wait for the race cars...

I don't mind waiting. My complaint is them going 3 times to my 1 you guys are missing the point.

I don't know the reasoning behind why they stop running the street cars and start running the race cars. If it's a time based thing (swapping every 15 minutes to the other group of cars) then it's going to happen the way you see it happening (more street cars than race cars equal fewer runs for street cars and more runs for race cars).
They should've black flagged the vega, not sure why they didn't.
What i've seen in the past is they swap the lanes back and forth, they'll generally run out the Pro lanes (race cars) as it doesn't take very long), then they'll run the street cars for a while until there is a decent line in the Race cars again and then switch. Only times I see this change are when they're running the quick 8.

Don't know what to tell you, and I understand your point just fine.

I got to run only three times also. I can't stand the people that get in line in front of everyone else. I could have run more, but everyone decides to get in the line that wraps around to the scales and block traffic rather than get in line with the rest of us.

Problem is when i run in the pro lane i feel like a jerkoff because everyone else is running 6's and faster:lol: But you are right i was there spectating Wendsday and the race cars did go 3 times before they let street cars go. Thats B.S. From what i see i think i will run pro lane. The only honda.:lol:

I have seen it to where im sitting in the pro lanes, and have seen the same street car come through twice or 3 times in 1 round so i guess it works both ways.

On T&T everyone pays $15 it is not a timed class thing it is a everyong should get to run and equal amount of times one person one car it does not matter what class you are in we should all have equal time to run.

10-10-2004, 12:08 AM
They do have "timed classes" for the lanes you can run in as stated above. And they run the quick 8/top dog for the fastest 8 vechicles (4 door cars/ 4 rails). It is going to be impossible to have equal time to run unless you have an equal number of the same cars. Generally you'll have more street cars than race cars, so if you were to add up the amount of time the street cars run vs. the time the race cars run, you would probably see that the street cars actually get MORE time to run than the race cars.. It's just a matter of volume.. Don't know how to explain it to you any clearer.

So the guy that has a race only, purpose built vehicle with tens of thousands of dollars invested should have to wait in line with little Timmy who wants to see what his mom's maxima runs? I don't agree at all. I have waited to run in both lanes, and I can tell you the idea of someone sitting in a race car with lexan windows, no insulation, and a fire suit on waiting an hour to run is ridiciulous, and a rail car will not even maneuver through the pits to run the regular lane. I have always run in the street lane with the buick, but now hearing the cut off is 8.0 (I thought it was 7.5) I believe I will run in the pro lane the next time I am there :razz:

you are acting just as childish by argueing with me over the flipping internet. I have a slow ass Cobra and just want to run at the track where it is legal. I depend on my DL to get to work everday. But I can keep argueing if you want makes no difference to me.

What your not seeing is that you guys get more run time, but there are more of you street cars then race cars. thats what your not seeing and its been said 3 or 4 times now. I'm not going to sit here and argue, because I couldnt give a rats ass. When I go, I get in my 5 or 6 runs, and get to run the Quick 8. Dont blame the race cars on kids going to gandy either. That shows how little brains they do have. Like Derek said earlier, BMP has a night where there are no Race cars allowed. Nice huh? Nobody has a night just for race cars that are drivin once a week, sometimes twice, but not everyday. So with that said, piss and moan all you want. I dont care. If you are infact "fed up with sunshine" then dont go. Thats all i can tell ya. Have a nice day. :D

Everyday is racecar only day. :lol:

I can see JL's point, but I also see yours. The problem is some nights the consistancy of letting a good majority of the street cars through and then letting the race cars run is way out of wack. They sometimes seem to give even more time for the race cars to run multiple times when there's a street car line 75 cars long.

The option to go somewhere else if we don't like it isn't even an option, who wants to drive an hour to bradenton to race in the ricefest on an unpreped track? Not me.

I do own a race car and I don't like to aruge, but you obviously like to whine about stuff like a child. Deal with it.

Please don't push the ignorance of kids that go to Gandy, etc to street race on me.. THAT in itself is ignorance beyond comprehension...

I'll leave it at this.. IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. THE RACE CARS WILL ALWAYS RUN MORE THAN THE STREET CARS.. Although it's complete BS, it just seems to be the only thing you want to hear.
Here are the options:
Go to Sunshine and wait in the lines, deal with whatever is there
Go to BMP and wait in the lines deal with whatever is there
Go to 1320 deal with the lines and whatever is there..


If you need to take it to the tower and complain, take it to Todd Dickenson (track owner of both BMP and Sunshine) and complain.
Or go to www.sunshinedragstrip.com and send them an email.... complaining to us isn't going to get you anywhere..
For what it's worth it's a RACE TRACK, which is always going to cater to RACE CARS..

Moral of this story? DEAL WITH IT.

Not me. 1. not everyday is racecar only day. there's more street cars then race cars there ALWAYS. 2. going somewhere else is an option. If its not done the way it is liked, then why go? Sure its gonna suck driving furthur to race, but those are the options. The street car line is ALWAYS 75 cars long if ya havent noticed. Sometimes longer. And that is why the street cars sit in the lanes longer. Have you ever been there on a "not so busy street car night"? I have. I have stood there and watched street cars run like its a circle track. Never once do I bitch because I know I will get my turn. But when there are 80 street cars and 20 pro cars, this shit is gonna happen. Plain and simple. Dont blame the low number of pro cars for this. blame the mass amount of street cars that show up.

Then there are the peoples cars that are quick and trying to make them fast. The people that ruin it for everyone are the guys with 20 inch rims with 4 of their frends wanting to see if they can hit a 10 in the 1/8th mile of some kid who stole his moms car and wants to beat the crap out of it. How about you have to be able to run 10's in the 1/8th to run. Thats slow and you dont belong at the track.

Why? Some race cars don't have insurance. Insurance isn't something that's required to run at the race track, I don't see why it should be either since if you have it and you wreck their they will laugh at you if you try to file a claim.

A street car doesn't have to be street legal. I know of alot of street cars that don't have insurance. Doesn't mean it's not a street car, just means they don't want to pay insurance or don't have insurance for certain reasons. Doesn't make it any less of a street car to me.

So your telling me if I go buy a volvo and don't insure it it's not a street car?

BTW whats your cobra run? I wan't to see if it's fast enough to run at my future imaginary track.

He is talking about people that are driving their cars on the street without insurance. The cobra is plenty quick to be on your imaginary track. Ofcourse JL could always bring back the L. I still do agree with JL about the race cars running too many times. Yes I realize it doesn't take as long to run them, so run through the race cars once, and then run through the street cars. On the nights that there are too many street cars, they don't need to run through all of them once. Another thing that would really help, is to limit the number of street cars that come to the track.

Maybe charge 20 instead of 15 and limit the cars.

Alot of the people who are there in the pro lanes are there cause racing is part of their life and their career. This is what they do for a living, that's why they have just as much time and money as it probably took to build your house.

I could really care less how many runs I get cause I know it's not the pro lanes fault, it's the fault of people there with 17second honda's and their moms camry. If you don't like it, plain and simple go somewhere else. I know plenty of people who drive to moroso instead of going to OSW cause well, OSW sucks ballsacks. And just so you get an idea from where I live OSW is maybe 30-40min. away and moroso is about 2 hours.

And I still don't see what insurance on a street car has to do with the race track in any way or them being able to race there.

I could really care less how many runs I get cause I know it's not the pro lanes fault, it's the fault of people there with 17second honda's and their moms camry. If you don't like it, plain and simple go somewhere else. I know plenty of people who drive to moroso instead of going to OSW cause well, OSW sucks ballsacks. And just so you get an idea from where I live OSW is maybe 30-40min. away and moroso is about 2 hours.

You took the short bus to school didn't you?

I actually graduated highschool with a 3.7 unweighted GPA and had already finished over two semesters worth of college credit classes. Oh yea and I have had multiple cars that run faster then a wimpy 9.1 in the 1/8th, both radial tire cars thank you very much. It's ok that your car is slow and complain about real race cars getting to race, I mean they are the ones that deserve it. Not some tool in his stock car who complains he doesn't get to make some more shitty 9.1 e/t passes.

On the nights that there are too many street cars, they don't need to run through all of them once. Another thing that would really help, is to limit the number of street cars that come to the track.

Is that not what they do now?? Everytime I'm there this is the way its done. I go atleast twice a month.

You are correct that is what they do. Why should they limit street cars? That is the last thing they are going to do cause that is the way they make most of their money other then special events.

I already said my car was slow so what's your point? I too have had faster cars but I just got this car and have not modded it yet. I would not brag about 3.7 that's only slightly better than average. I stand by my opinion that you are a F-ing moron.

Not trying to get involved in your pissing match, but unless things have changed since I was in school, a 3.7 is considerably better than average. Ok, piss on :grin:

If that was how the track was always run, then this post would have never even been put on the board.

I only said that limiting the number of street cars would help, I didn't say that I expect them to do it.

sheesh, this topic is still going?
As I stated before, take it up with Todd Dickenson, he's the only one that is going to make anything happen if you are really that concerned about it.. If you're just crying, then again.. Deal with it..

That explains it all. And notice I said Unweighted GPA. I'm not here to argue about how smart I am or may not be in some peoples mind the point is bitching on here isn't going to do shit, you want something to be done about it talk to the big man or do something else on your own and go to a different track. Point is no one cares about you or your car, they just care about getting your money for the night.

I'm getting ready to order a 572 for it, and we are gonna have Chris Nelson wave his magic wand over it. :)

Ah, yeah they might say something about that.. :)
I'm trying to get them to knock at least 100 lbs off of the small block cars (3200lbs in a small block against a 3200lbs in a big block, well it's tough to compete) in the Stock Suspension class, it'll even the class up nicely and will bring more people out...
King of the Street is a serious class. And yes, Chris Nelson puts together some serious engines..

Shooting for a low 5.6 next year once we get this suspension straightened out.

Best of luck with both!

Hehe. I've got something also. I've got a street car that is deep in the 7's and will get faster. I used to drive it everyday in California. But I refuse to pay the insurance out here for it. I want full coverage, but the legal minimum is $110, I don't want to know what full coverage is for it. That is the ONLY reason I bring my street car down on a U-hual, because it has no insurance. I think that is an exception to the street car insurance issue. But any one that drives without insurance is a complete moron. Ok, piss on.:D
