Sorry this is so long but please read through all of this and give me any feedback or suggestions you might have.
I spoke with Alan this morning and he was of course very pleased with the turnout given the overall weather situation. This weeks race (10/5) should be great ! The weather should be very good / cool / dry. All condusive to good E.T.s so be there ! And for all of those who posted that they got there last week only to find a empty track please call ahead before you drive out. (1-941-748-1320)
I noticed quite a few posts in other threads mentioning most people only got 1 or 2 runs I mentioned this to Alan. But please remember the track was only open for 2 hours before it rained ! There was little to no breakdowns or delays other than when the rain started. So if you stay the entire time you will get in several runs dont worry. I mentioned to Alan maybe they could open four staging lanes to cut down on the traffic going into the pits. He will look at it. Overall the feedback seems to be good from everything I see and the event will only get better over time.
Just make sure that you and everyone you know understands that for this race to continue on a regular basis everyone will HAVE TO mind there manners to and from the track as well as at the track. I saw a lot of people driving like dumbasses especially in the rain heading back to the interstate. If we create a problem on 64 (road leading to the track) before and after these races Alan and the track are going to catch heat from the locals. So mind your manners please !
I hope to see another big turnout this weekend and please be safe.

I hope it works out this weekend. I was on my out last weekend but only made it to the Hess gas station. Since it was raining I just stopped to get gas and turn around. I noticed lots of people hanging out there and I dont think the gas station was too happy. When I left I noticed some fool in a white 240SX (?) behind me [purposely] doing a fishtail turning onto 64. Real bright. Im just glad he was behind me.

I think the turnout will be huge again for this friday. I do agree that they need to open up 4 staging lanes. The damn line was stretching back past the entrance. My car started to overheat waiting in line. Damn I need a fan.

So if everyone makes a effort to use some common sense to and from the track I think this event will happen on a pretty regular basis. [/b]

no shit about the dipshit driving.
i couldnt believe those morons were passing us in the
rain. . for people that werent there there was a truck and a
car following the truck that blasted past a whole group of
cars (like 10 cars) all at once. I was flabbergasted-
personally i was driving white-knuckled since i was so hell
bent on not shooting my car off the road. Look at one of our
members- he was doing the speedlimit on 75 and just
suddenly lost control and spun a 720. Now image if that
happened with a truck next to a train of 10 cars.
Im all for natural selection- let the fucking idiots kill
themsleves- but dont endanger my white ass doing it. . . .
