"Live" from Bowling Green Div. 3 2016
 

We are here testing today along with others who have the track rented today. We have been here since Sunday when we came for the Combo race. Dallas is NOT letting anyone stay inside the race track. We had to pack up everything and move outside after we got beat at 11:00 pm on Sunday night. Then we came back in at 8 this morning. And then we have to move back out at 5 this afternoon whenever the test session is over. Nobody is saying when we are going to get to park. As far as I know, it is 9 am on Thursday like the schedule says!


The weather this weekend looks like typical Bowling Green with highs in the 90s and the humidity back!


More later!

A Race Track spends thousands of advertising Dollars to get Racers to show up Pay the entry fees and to put on a show for the tracks paying customers
Then when They show up they say no you will have to wait to get . This is always a puzzle on why the track does not let the show in early just to show appreciation for them as they are show for paying customers as well

I am confused lol ? :confused:

Just thinking out loud here, but if you allow racers to stay overnight inside the track, wouldn't you need someone to man the gate all night ?

I'm not sure Dallas would leave the gates open unmanned.

Just a thought

Might be a liability issue.

I suspect most tracks have a umbrella policy covering their place 24/7

No i believe that he might miss gate money on one person, yes it is his show, and people
still like him.

If it were me and I was the decision maker or owner of a track I would have to realize that the racers now a days have time on their hands .
They can show up early cause they can and chose to.
So I would welcome them with open hands and Open Pits as early as possible on a first come first serve with only one pit space being able to be saved for one friend only .
I would have all kind of services availability for them and their wives and friends . such as a tour or RV services or another service to make MY Customers feeling needed and happy to spend their money with my track .

Now since a track has to pay for overhead I would even charge an early fee to cover the early overhead costs that was create . The fee would be moderate and fair for all cause the racers are the entertainment in most causes and in most cases would not mind paying for this .
The early pitting would alleviate the huge rush for the late arrivals so there would be no need to hire extra staff all Pitting would be much orderly and calmer :D
