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 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
