There is MUCH MORE expensive merchandise, MUCH MORE cars, people, and movement in the pits than at a 'dday practice'. This insurance is the way partly maybe because it is because they ALSO race 20 cars at a time, door-to-door. much higher chance for things to happen.
I'm sick of the e-bitching fellas, im not posting this event up for a debate, its for info, either be a bandwagoner and sit at home and wait for another 3x the money practice event, or come be a DRIVER and get some exposure for our sport for a change.
That being said, you can totally 'pit' outside the gate during the day (still costs 25 to drive because u will be going through the pit area and later moving to it) for your buddies (who only pay 15) to hang out and chill with your car and work site but once 4:00 rolls around, you have to move to the pits because the lot is for specator parking and you dont want all your tools hanging out in that environment.
There is no need for you to waste time posting negative sheit. I've been to 3 events now with bobby, who are you gonna TRUST? someone who has done it? or someone hasnt been to one?
Stop being children.
It would be nice to get some closer tracks to the south.. 25$ is a good price, but I don't think anyone from South Florida is going to drive 3hrs pay 3$ a gallon for gas, and not drift the whole day..especially for the Orlando track, no offense to Rob or Bobby or anyone, but that track is a POS like Hialeah Speedway. But it's the closest track for a full day of drifting so that's why a lot of people keep attending. If you want drivers to fill up the drivers list, have a seperate event from the whole stock car picture. If the fans are really as interested and wow'd as you say, they will come to watch. Just have stock car / trucks on a Saturday and Sunday can be the drifter series. That is the
only way I see this series surviving. But you can all say goodbye to events if Gainesville keeps up with this Test & Tune shit on their road course cuz everyone who likes to drive will be going there for 35$ instead of these oval events. Sorry, and the more drivers you get to come, the track time will be cut down drastically, with that schedule it shows 30mins for drifters, if you got even ATLEAST 10 drivers out there, thats a long trip for just 3 minutes if you dont qualify?? And before you come with wah have you been to any of these wah wah wah, yes I was at the first 3 at the Charlotte track.
