you know what, i didn't ever run on a bracket weekend. What i was trying to provide was a little feedback from the exact kind of person that TM and Top End are trying to attract. I was there in my pretty much stock TII RX7 and it left a bad taste in my mouth being able to run only twice. I haven't been back since. They want to build up the local community and industry and be able to race twice for your cash would make most people a little frustrated with the whole thing.heath since that time you ran your RX7, things have changed and we got the bike/car running thing fixed.(well at least i think we did.)

Heath, that problem is fixed now. However, I do agree with keeping it affordable for all. not everybody spends a lot of cashola on beer/weed/pizza on any given weekend. And there is plenty of people that have to drive an hour just to get there on top of paying to get in. With the prices of gasoline going up the way they are, keeping it reasonably affordable is paramount to making sure you get as much interest and attendance as possible.
For those that think they should charge more, by all means, give a lil extra to the new owner in support of his new track.

I have never seen anyone complain about not being able to make passes at a TM event. Christian makes 10+ passes (maybe more like 20.. heh) and you cant get 3?
Help me understand...I remember the days of hotlapping to 25+ passes in my old car. Shitty brakes gave up and I kept pushing through the lights trying to come up against the converter. 187HP of fury.
But yeah, the days I was out with the Cobra last year I did 6-10 and the first time I packed it up and went home at 2.

Wes, I understand where you are coming from, but what services DON"T go up in price as their costs go up too? Not many take into consideration the cost to operate the track. I'm sure Chuck would love to have a lower cost on his traction compound, energy costs, gasoline for all the track machines, compensation for track employees, etc............but, he doesn't. His costs go up, but everyone expects the cost to run at the track to never change.
I am in disbelief when people shake their head at proposed increase of $5 or so in entry fee.
I hope everyone remembers that kind of thing if the track ever closes due to operating costs.

We all wish! Unfortunately, all they can offer for trackside donations, is the ability to meet their Ken Block fill-in. Mr. Eric Freitag.Is he getting a fiesta to do some gymkhana demos??
