Default Re: Charlotte D2 event test n tune

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 !

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----

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.

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.

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

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.

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