Big shows to show was double that..

These guys have trophies, track and alot of stuff that has to get paid for unless something is worked out..


Prices are great in my opinion.. As far as the show being rice! Thats just something you will have to expect when its a "CAR SHOW"
Agree 100% Back in the day Nopi was super expensive! People are cheap as fuck $15 is cheap.

$15 is a deal if you have a good time, if your night sucks it would have been better spent elsewhere, experience is relative.. to theory of time, a minute off pain is like forever, a day of pleasure is like a second. plain and simple as i have said and posted on lakelands site, that track and staff suck, and def not worth $15. If i was lakeland strip i would try to redeem myself in some type of fashion, cause bad rep will follow, tr will spread like wildfire..

I think what happen after 8 or 9 shared_pm the people that were coming in were the saturday regulars and it was like the people from the show got pushed aside on the track , The show over all was excellent props to JDM ups , it was the track people who arent part of the JDM ups then was letting all these bikers out of know where and other cars that look like were directed to a certian lane that ran and ran and ran while others waited 2 or three hours and they were part of the show . Plus some spectators didnt want to park on the muddy side so they were trying to park on the show side .

So JDM gets a thumbs up but Lakeland speed track just sucks over all . If you commit to give your track to a show then give it to them and keep out the regulars that night . Thats how the favoritism began because the regulars know the people up stairs and the people on the starting line .

If you have fun is up to you, not anyone else. You make the experience. You can make the most gayest moments fun with the right attitude.

There were MANY really nice cars out there...however, maybe the judges were also looking at the rarity of the cars registered for the show. Not many Maximas are outfitted like mine...

We thank all of you for the good feedback and bad...this is how we grow. And by staying connected to the street scene and avid racers that have great ideas we are able to give and provide more.

And AEG/TR no worries we have plenty more!

Thank you again everyone for the support! Get ready for the rest

Well said Greg I agree the show was a hit! Apparently alot of ppl werent feeling the track but like it has already been mentioned people need to understand we have not done an event at that track before. It was the first show of the season and now we should have any if at all the kinks worked out! Cant wait for the next one! You know ill be there!

Great show yesterday it was sooo packed! I loved it..about the regulars racing we have been racing there for awhile and i simply went up to the guys and said hey let me through i need to run my beetle and they did..they should be equal to everyone else..and $15 was super cheap, we used to spend over $100 to race in atco and englishtown at a nhra event or any other but great job over all
