Re: Stacking at St. Louis
[QUOTE=1320racer;598166]there is nothing "legitimate" about this latest self serving complaint, it just that infringes on his plans.[/QUOTEh
I don't know you but I do know when you were on here all the time before you were an A**. Now that you are back it is even worse and from what I understand you are just a bracket racer. Take your sheet somewhere else.

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
there's that I think I'm special cause I'm a class racer attitude. News flash, you're a bracket racer every time you put a dial in on your window.

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
any customer of any business should be treated with respect and consideration after all the Customers pay the bills for any company, business, or a non-profit organization. I understand the issues from all sides and with a few racers as well as some businesses the stacking problem and pitting problem can be solved if they want it to

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
One year they did the same thing at the Gatornationals a few years back before they started the Baby Gators thing. Would not let anyone stack at the track. To say the least it was a cluster. We had to hunt to find a place to park two 60+ foot rigs for two days. Then there was a big traffic jam at the track when everyone showed up at 6 am to get pitted. The track had personnel there so what is the big deal. Especially when they are coming directly from another race the weekend before. They actually paid a police officer to sit there and turn the racers away 24 hours a day. Probably would have been cheaper to pay someone to manage the stacking. Lets face it most of us know how it works.

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
We were at the Gators the year they sent us to Orlando and we stayed at a shopping center for a few days because the pits were flooded. Stacking and Tech used to be a shopping center near Trails when they had the Springnationals there. If they can't stack at the track maybe NHRA could at least make arrangements for a reasonable alternative.

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
my money is green and good everywhere and I assume yours is too. No one is forcing anyone to compete at an NHRA event. If you don't like how they stack, park, run the event or pay the winner/runner up and requirements to collect contingency sponsor money, stop the useless complaining and negative comments about everything NHRA and do us all a favor and quit going. You won't be missed!

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
1320 I think you would like being a class racer in S/SS when shoe polish is not needed.

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
There is a truck storage lot across the street behind the truck stop and other venues in the region to park.

Well ... just do what we did; put mufflers and drag radials on the "race car", buy a lawn chair, and go grow with your significant other at car shows. Not much from our end to complain about there. A whole lot cheaper too! |
