<![CDATA[October 13th Street Legal]]>Anyone else less than impressed with the last track day? It was getting a little old having those dragsters run on a STREET LEGAL day. They were using it as their test 'n' tune. Also, the motorcycles ran 2 or 3 times more than any of the cars got to. I only got 5 runs in the ENTIRE day. Also, the track prep was non-existent. The best 60' I could cut was a 2.2 and that was on the mickeys. I've cut 1.9 at the last one launching low and yet this time the best I could manage was a 2.2 no matter what I did. I am pretty disappointed. I think that it is time to start looking at going to BIR rather than Interstate after this last one.

i did however come watch and take some pics and some vid.
i so enjoy coming out to watch. even more to race, but that does not always happen due to funds.
the two times i ran this year i had no issues that i could not deal with. street tires suck for traction, but accept it and still run and enjoy it. then again i am stock from beginning of car to end of car. well front and rear STB's but thats it.
i also am not out there to make obscene number of runs. made 6 the first time, july 7. made 5 the other time aug 25. called it good. mayb after i get some mods i will want to run more. mayb not.
just happy to be able to run and watch others run. in a safe environment. street racing is so not safe.

thanx tintmasters. hope to be able to do it again next year. if not then i guess i go to bracket weekends and run trophy.

Monty

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.

^ Yep, I remember that. I'm still kinda mad that they didn't shut down staging lanes and just told everyone to go home while 20 cars were still in staging. Whatever, I had fun the rest of the day.

They weren't letting some of the guys with slicks run in the groove. They wouldn't let drag radial guys run in the groove.

Therefore leaving the groove nice and sticky for the slick cars. Yeah thats it, so why do it the other way?

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.

We will see what we can do.

I would be all for it next year. I also, would still run at the normal times. I have not run 11s yet. But i have been trapping at 116+

Yep, if you'd have a honda you'd know they fix themselves, unlike those gay dsm's that require a months worth of work to run for a couple days...

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.

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.

I know the traction sucks on street tires, and you just have to deal with it. so... i did, I bought slicks for next year.

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).
