Angry fed up with sun shine

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!

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?

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.

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...

couldnt have said it any better myself. although I do agree with the vega comment. he was getting alittle rediculous.

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.
