yeah, I just read all of that. That's some bullshit.

I rarely go out there anymore except spectating at the last 2 tr track events, but this is horrible news.

This can't be, what the hell will we do if BMP goes to shit? Street racing is dead, you can't take it to the track, it doesn't leave you with much choice when you have to choose between severe racing penalties or running at a track under the control of an asshole. Let's hope this is just some sort of misunderstanding.

Pisses me off that some people just react off what they read and throw the track under the bus without knowing any of the facts, if there are any facts.

In a nutshell is seems as if this guy got his feelings hurt and ecided to write a novel about it. Shit is going to happen in a enviroment like that. To bash someone over it when you could have been doing something wrong and type that kind of bullshit is poor taste at the least.
Ah, good, they had me worried for a moment. I haven't gotten to take my car to the track even once, can't have the best track on this side of the state go downhill. Thanks for regulating the bs.

How do you explain all the things that they say they the owner said? Like someone has died out there from a staging burnout and why does it seem street cars get doged and the line is always so long during tnt's? Him saying the track is and never was rented out in feb and they only rent out the track during weekdays for $300 a car?

Are we just going to assume all the people who wrote these replies are just fabricating stories here?

I'm not trying to stir trouble or anything like that ... just asking questions.

Guys, Charlie - the author - can get a bit overzealous at times.... but he does spend a lot of time at the track. I don't doubt that the guy at the starting line yelled at him, and I don't doubt that charlie fired back and went to the management, and threatened not to come back, etc.... They were probably both having a bad day... As for the rest I'll ignore it until I see constant problems at BMP. I've been building this car with track fun at heart, and won't be going anywhere else just from heresay...
