Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

$100 for a test n tune that runs from 5:00-9:00? Seems like a great deal... considering it gets dark by about 7:45 and dew will probably settle making the track inoperable by about 8:00? :confused:

Bruton always makes his $$, slick track or not.....

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

D1 usually charges $75 and it is from roughly 10 or 11am until 5 pm.

The best rip-off I ever heard was at Las Vegas one year. It was $100 to run test and tune, and the ad specifically stated three runs maximum. Wow. Thirty-three bucks, PER PASS. Many tracks, you pay less than that for a WHOLE NIGHT.

As a race promoter, I may be in the wrong part of the sport. lmao

Speaking of Vegas, those racers returning for the rained out LODRS race this past weekend ,that will be concluded in November must pay , I believe 50 bucks for 2 time trials prior to eliminations....The hits keep coming....Someone from D 1 told me I need to be more positive sooooo....At least Vegas is not charging 100 bucks for the T and T......

Can't even find the event advertised on the ZMax web site. The only event flyer is on the division schedule.

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

Not sure it will even happen. We are stacked in a field, for a divisional, pulling 5 rigs every 10 minutes, at a track that is 100% pavement. I haven't been this confused since Waterworld came out.

Came into the Pre- Parking Red Dirt Field around noon- # 85 waited 3 hours to get in the track. Low and behold Roy Hill was parked Yesterday and all set up with 10 or so spots saved- WTF- .He's not an NHRA Sponsor !
Got parked - have to run up front to get my Ticket and wrist band- Go down to tech trailer to have my wrist band cut off and install my drivers band and receive my Tech card--- Go back to my pit area - warm the car and head to tech---WTF again ! This is one F%% up Mess.
Lead -- Follow or Get Out of the Way !
Very poor Planning !

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

That is no exaggeration! Sitting in the field would have been a great time for them to sell us tech cards, or the ticket and the fake wrist band that got you a tech card and a new wrist band on the other side of the track.

Yeah, me and my good friend DF have a favorite saying, "they continually find a new group to piss-off".
It's the last and best thing that they're good at !! Huh----

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

And the hits keep coming. More enhancements...... no doubt
Hey look at it this way...... bad day @ the track beats any day @ work !

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

I do have to say that even though it started late and wasn't prorated, it was a nice quiet test and tune and every time I went up I waited a max of 5 minutes to make a run. I got 5 runs. Also crew passes are only $25 this weekend which is by far the most reasonable deal I've seen.

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

LV does give you a 3 punch card, but if they have a small group of customers, they don't bother with the card.
At least that has been my experience.
You've got to figure , if the card was $25, you'd have so many cars, you'd probably only get three hits anyway.

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

Does anyone know if they are running any test and tune sessions next week before the Nationals begin?
Thanks

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

Larry, I don't believe a national event track can host a T and T prior to the race.There is a combo Saturday and Sunday within 165.3 miles of Hickory, Ky.

Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune
 

Mr Larry just do what they do on TV, just find a good straight shot and you could be the next street outlaw!
