Oh and when did the guy at IDR say it would take up everyone's time?he said it would be long at all and that it would solely be dependent on if there were enough involved to even do it. so saying it will take forever is kinda silly right?
you kinda disappoint me chuck
I'm telling you that the guy at IDR either lied to you or has no fucking clue how long jackpot races take....now that it is a traditional weekend there will be more purpose built cars out there on the track for T&T....these are guys that actually bracket race regularly (again, good luck getting to run in the groove at this event) and to think that they won't get into the jackpot racing is crazy......that is probably the funnest part of brackets to be honest with you, and your biggest chance at making $$$ if you are good at it (or lucky....that helps sometimes too). So no, I do think it will take forever....maybe longer, who knows.

Then with what you just said why did we just have this huge fucking drag out argument?
oh and sorry chuck i believe the guy over the phone before you.
again i will say I'm waiting to pass judgment until i go to a damn street legal day.

Maybe I'm wrong too, but I HIGHLY doubt it. Yes, you can still race, but I am willing to put $5 on it not going anything near like the TM days were where you could get nearly as many passes as you liked and 9/10 times got to run in the groove.
I hope I'm wrong. My car is getting closer to completion as well, so I certainly would like to make some passes locally to get some official times. Yes, I will still be able to race, but I don't think I'll get the time to dial my car in like was available in the past.....and if I do get it dialed in, I WILL be one of the guys running in the jackpot race, because as previously stated, I like bracket racing.
That is fine....that is what Jason said he wanted people to do actually.

Oh....and I just looked at the deleted posts on the original thread, not once did you respond to Ethan.....you did mention the hotlapping of bikes, but IIRC that problem was taken care of last year already.

you never mention this thought? why?
and they don't let people run in the groove because most have street tires and i think everyone can agree the guys on slicks freaked about no traction ever. so they went to no slicks no groove. correct?
every time i had slick i was always in the groove, they would move the cone for me when i came up.

I'm not disagreeing on every point Matt...what I'm saying is that they FINALLY got things right and smooth(ish), had a verbal contract, had the advertising done, had a bunch of other stuff done and then the track pulls a dick move and tells them 2 weeks before the scheduled event that they aren't welcome there....and that was only after an email originated by TM asking if there was anything else that needs to be done. What if Shane had never sent that email? Would they just have turned the TM crew away at the gates? That's the impression I got.
So if TM is a little sore about the ordeal and is boycotting the track because of it.....I don't blame them... they had time & money tied into the event even before it was run, I'd be sore too.
If you are upset w/ TM and want to boycott their store/events, I'm sure there would be no hard feelings on that either.

Yes. -
There is no point to continue arguing.
Go out, experience a new street legal setup, THEN come in here and debate. I know what the new guy 'planned' on doing, and after we didn't want to be a part of the new 'plans' we were told the TM days were canceled. Perhaps his ideals will change between now and then, but he seemed pretty set in his thoughts. As previously stated, go check it out, patronize a local drag strip, and see how you feel after your investment into racing that day. Simple as that.

This is the exact reason why we are bent. We invested time and money into 200 posters, advertising the dates on 10,000 P10 flyers, advertised on numerous forums/myspace/facebook, only to be told 2 weeks before the event (again AFTER we agreed on everything months ago), that he was going to change everything up. We are bitter, and we are disappointed for those that have always appreciated TM days... It may work out to be a non-issue, just no TM affiliation, which still sucks because of our investment listed above to promote days he will now reap the benefits off.
I HOPE things work out, so those interested in drag racing don't have to travel....but I still am going to try and get everyone a deal on racing at BIR, based strictly on the emails from the track guy outlining how he wants to run the 'new layout'.
Again, go race and judge after.
