I'd bet at least 95% of the people are satisfied with the street legal days, don't add to the drama Jason. :p:In all seriousness, I think the events were run very well. There will always be small things that can be improved. Getting feedback is a good thing, even if it's on a forum.
I agree that most are satisfied, but it is always fun to watch those that have gone to the next degree with their car run at these events. We tried to cater more to these guys cause a) these are the ones that encounter the most issues with these events b) these are the ones that motivate others to reach that level with their car. c) they are the ones that REALLY need track prep and traction...
Constructive criticism is welcome in an form...However discussing face to face about issues seems to put both parties on the same level of understanding. If the individual doesn't want to stop into the shop (the same shop that is hosting these events, and footing the bill), then I guess I can read through 5 pages of what was wrong.
Not adding to any drama here, I just want everyone to know that we are trying to help when possible and that sometimes a simple suggestion about something is all it will take to stop an issue (bikes for example...which I hold more on the lady directing cars as opposed to the biker guys individually).

it was/has been a great thing to be able to go to the track and watch or race. i have tried to make almost all of them weather i'm racing or not. i didn't make it out to alot of them this year. but i do plan on going to the ones next year if they are held.
my friend only got 2 runs in the hole day. now i know he got send off for a small coolent leak or what ever so i can sorta understand. but then at the end of the day he was the next guy to race and they shut it down. kinda suck to spend the same amoun tof money as the bikes for 1/8 the runs or less.... (i know it was already discussed)
overall it is a great thing to have the track so close, no matter how shitty it is.

have you guys considered separating some of the slick/dr cars and running them all together?
or set aside 3 or 4 times during the day where everyone stops, they prep the track a little bit at least and run the slick cars, the DR cars, and then back to the street cars?
Give some of these guys like faul, dave, and tufte (and all those other guys running say sub 11s) a chance to make a full legitimate pass.

That sounds managable, however I don't want to forget the fact that these days are street legal days, and I can about imagine what the masses would/will say when they can't run for the first 30 minutes or hour for non street legal cars.... We will see what we can do.

45min to an hour to get teched in was pretty sad as well.

oh no, it wasnt busy, i sat there for that long waiting for him to come over on his ATV when he was done chattin with his buddies

I know its a street legal event. I hope you will keep letting people run on slicks. I know I plan on using slicks next year. Its worthless for me to think about ruining another set of RT615s out there. Its also sweet to see dave and matt rocket down the track on these days. I really dont care if they would let the people with slicks go right after they do the prepping, it would be awsome, but I know with the slicks ill hook up WAYYYY better then before.

slicks will help me quite a bit as well...

I read the thread. And I was also right next to Heath when he went up and told the guy at the starting line that he had slicks, and asked to run in the groove. The guy went over to his RX7, looked at the tires to make sure they are slicks, and I believe I heard him say he'd move the cone for him. That was too close to the end tho and the shut it down. So all you guys with slicks have to do, is politely let the guy know that you have slicks, and you would like to run in the groove.

we had some not so polite words in there too...
