!!!! Track Event 19 Postponed Again !!!!

[Scott]

Due to the lack of turn out thus far the track has decided it would be best that we postpone this until after the first of the year since there are no more dates open in December. I just received this information after expressing my concern to the track about our numbers thus far.

This will be the first time we have had to postpone a regularly scheduled event btw. The previous postponement of this event from October was a short notice date given to us by the track after someone else canceled and the track was hoping we could fill the void. We have had plenty of time on this regularly scheduled event.

I must say I can not blame the track for this since the numbers just did not add up based on where we were at and what we need to pull in ( racers and spectators ) to make this event work for them financially.

I also must express my sincere apology to the racers that have already paid and the spectators that were looking forward to attending as well.

On all other events we have had in the past we have sold them out with no problem, many times in days. The fact that this event is over a holiday weekend can not be the sole reason for the poor turn out. I just can not believe this given we have had these events over the past five years on or around holidays and attendance was never a issue. We have had events in the dead of summer and with more racer spots to sell and still sold out in plenty of time. I have my thoughts as to why the turnouts have been harder to get but that is not important right now.

So if you have paid and want to wait for the next date after I am given some to choose from ( after the first of the year ) great ! If you need the money back now so be it, I understand. PM me and we can make arrangements.

I started these events years ago as a alternative to street racing and they exploded in popularity on the racing and socializing front with a average of 90 racers and 400 - 600 spectators ! Not sure what has changed but I will dive into it and find out.

When the next date is announced jump on it and get proactive if you want to continue to have these get togethers otherwise they are going to be a thing of the past because I am not going to leave myself open to disappoint those that look forward to attend these events and the friends I have made at the track. :(

neverminddddd shit happens

[clean teg]

eazy slick

[clean teg]

it will happen cool your jets have a beer

[RB240Mike]

^I'm not gonna be here after the first of jan. so of course I'm upset I was looking forward to this!

[Scott]

We need to know a date, I really don't wanna wait over another month. I don't think I can even do it after the end of December due to school starting. This is fucking stupid.



Like I said I do not have a date and the track will not have the '08 availability out until the first week of January. That's the way it is.

As far as it being stupid I agree, be thankful you will not have to field the Pm's or replies I will have to endure.

[Capt Insano]

This is bad news, but oh well...Im still in for next time...Kepp us updated Scott...

[CJBlackmon]

Shit Happens. If it's a small turnout, it isn't going to be feasible for anybody.

Keep us posted and we'll do it in '08. It's only like a month and a half away anyhow.

[MiDiablo]

I'm sad to see the event cancelled, but low turnouts = no money for the track, and that's bad business for them. Understandble at the least.

Just keep us in the know Scott.

[bitemark46]

You somma bish. You farging icehole. My mother cancelled a TR event once............................once. :lol:


Little 80's movie trivia for ya. No prob Scott. Gives me time to get my new tranny done. -Mark

[TIM TIM TIM]

alot of people were saying there cars were not ready, this gives them time.. plus im sure people are getting stuff for Christmas and they want to see what times it increased :)...

Im assuming that if we don't ask for a refund were going to be on the list for the next event automatically, correct? do I need some sort of proof I paid or are you guys going to keep track of it all?

[$hawn]

I may be able to make the new date...lol

[Scott]

Correct.

The list will stay the way it is now unless you ask for a refund.

[evrbirdmannzx3]

[ruler]

Yea thanksgiving is a bad time for a meet. Lets fire up the rice cooker in january.

[slow poke]

[scoobaru05]

[97blkz]

Sucks, but not Scotts fault! Sad how many jokers hit CCC, Gandy etc but are afraid to go where they can't hide how slow their ride is!

[punx]

I'm perfectly fine with this. I needed a little more prep time anyway.

[Willis]

damnit i was almost ready to, will they be having a run day sunday or anything like that?

[EDMR2]

Men I was really looking foaward for that day, I just visited there web page but they don't even showing nothing for that day, I was hoping that they will open for test and tune

[mooninmike]

well im glad b/c al my freinds rides have been stolen and are not up and running b/c of it ..........maybe the lack of turn out is b/c no one wnts to show off their shit anymore b/c of fear of getting their shit jacked...... my 5th freind had their car stolen last night...... i have had mine stolen ...... and many others... we need to do somethng about this problem

[spanishstud]

Awww for real!? SHIET! Well, I was only being a spec.

On a good note! I can tune+dyno my shit and maybe race. No biggie.

[95w_bTEG]

[Blind2Rice]

damn thats sucks.... excitement was just lost.... but if anyone else was in the mood to whoop some ass.... alotta mafia members are gonna be out there.... but please keep us updated on the new date.....

thanks

[topher469]

The only ones to be mad at are all the others on this fourm, get on your friends on here and bitch to them. Scott has always done a great job getting these all set up and for us that do race most of them we know its NOT SCOTT's fault. So just get your buddys and make them all sign up, then it wont be postponed, and we may enjoy the racing again in the future.

Thanks again Scott for setting these up and for keeping us updated. I will be buying a spot this weekend even if its postponed.

Thanks Topher, I appreciate the kind words.. :)

[FDfranklin]

This sucks! I know a few people were just waiting till almost last second to sign up (including me)
...

This does give people more time to get there cars ready etc... but it gives my car more time to fuck up/blow some apex seals :(

[avusilvia]

so where is this meet? sry I haven't been here in a while.

[Big Chris]

This sucks, I was going to go watch. Well at least now I will be ready to race at the next one, now I just have to figure out with car the mark7 or the sc tbird.

[Black_Bullet]

whenever it is im in.

[power2weight]

Sorry Scott, I try to go to all these but this time it just didn't work out. My car usually needs a bunch of work before a track event and work and an upgrade to Megasquirt is keeping me away.

I for one appreciate all the hard work it takes to get one of these going and the next time around I should be ready to go.

[Pshull727]

Its sucks but now i may have the mustang ready for track day and maybe the other lil things will be on the car for this im cool with waiting till Jan it will be a new yr and one hell of a way to start the new yr off.Scott keep us updated if the cars ready i will be on that list.

[got v-tec]

makes sence seeing as how more people travel on thanksgiving then any other holiday

[jdmLS]

post a date wen u can cuz i got mad people that wanna go an like 6 racers who wanna run there cars and they have people who wanna attend as well

[Handi Man]

That sucks, I was REALLY wanting to run the newly dual hair dried 6.0 in the HD. :(







































So what, it's ok to dream isn't it? :lol:
But I was looking forward to going out and seeing some races. Guess I'll have to wait until the new year, unless I can get some people together for a runday sunday or T&T event that I can make it out to.

[MiDiablo]

Any word on the new date yet?!

[dakidlovehondaz]

yup yup

[stealthc9]

wow this sucks...

[SStillSSmokin]

You can usually count on me and the wife for 2 spots, but my car is still on a weak clutch, and the wifes TBSS was making noises in the rear. Found out this weekend it was a loose bracket(and fixed it.). Will be at least one of us ready for the makeup date.

[Scott]

I will a make up date for this sometime during the first week of January.
