Sounds like someone needs a tissue and is just pissed because they missed prereg. The event is a tampa racing event, and tampa racing is not just street cars! The event is very well planed and the track does a great job also. I just dont understand why your being so bitchy about a great day!

This is the best reply I have seen in this thread.

Fine you guys are right, running 7 second cars behind leaking, dripping street cars is a good combo.... I guess I'm a moron ( but I still like the camaro, even if you can't just say " I disagree" ). The vette was blowing the tires off for sure, prob. due to the "less than 7 second" track conditions, which is what I'm getting at....

#1 Joe Blow/ payed
#2 Timmy SouthPark/ payment pending
#3 Duffy Suffy/ payment pending
#4 TTAWD3S / payed

Looks pretty simple to me.... The track day is posted about a month before it happens, and the list fills up in 2 days, so people basiclly have a month to make the payment of a whopping $25....

And yes, I am pissed b/c I missed pre-reg. but its not my fault that 40 people out of 110 signed up and didn't show up...

I only called you a moron because of the comments you made about the big cars messing up the track. I agree sometimes it's not safe to run them depending on track conditions, but thats up to the driver, and hopefully he/she is smart enough to get out of it before they wreck. Something does need to be done differently for registration part, but it also doesn't need to be a pain in the ass for Scott or BMP. I think to pre-pay makes the most sense and you don't get on the list until he has the money. I'm sure we'll figure something out, but I don't think it should matter what kind of car you have. My car would not hook up at the end of the night, and I didn't get pissed, I just called it a night...I still had a good time.

I like the idea of being to the track early if you're on the pre-reg list. If the person doesn't show or make contact before a certain time give up their spot to someone at BMP who is ready to race.

I guess the comment comes from the fact your extra four cylinders on race gas aint doing a whole lot to keep up with the little yellow beast.


who the fuck said i was on race gas? i run 93 in my car as well, i could drive it to the track with tha A/C on, powersteering, factory ABS Brakes if i wanted to, but you know what? i dont want to wait 3+ hours for a tow truck, if my shit brakes i can take it home...

There is no need for you to get all butt hurt because i used your car as an example....I wasnt putting your car down in anyway, i know its a street car, it is 100% street legal, i was using yours as an example not an insult. I was making a comparison between your car and 67ChevellSS's car both can be classified as street cars, but everyone always says that big slicks and a cage make it a drag car only, i mentioned your car for comparison since everyone says it is a street car, just because something is fast doesnt mean its a drag car...



RANT / NEWS FLASH: Roll Bar/Cage is a safety item that is required for the quicker cars...if its quicker than 11.49 it should have a roll bar/cage, safety regs are there because at some point in time somone was either mangled or killed because there was no regulation on safety.

Like you said earlier, two people can never seem to agree on this subject. As long as the state says my car is street legal, and I don't get tickets for taking it out it's good enough for me. I don't see where you said anything negative about the Mirage, but maybe I'm just a homo too.
