Morning everybody.
I just printed out the event schedule for Phoenix on the March 15th weekend. I had hoped that it would show some change in the way the practice is run, with regard to the L/P Sport Rider Day. It doesn't.
For those that do not know, regular practice runs until lunch and then after lunch there is a continuation of the L/P practice of which riders cannot participate unless they pay $25. So practice ends for racers at 11:15 and if you do not pay the money you are not on the track again until your race starts at 2:30, at the earliest.
I have been told more than once that its only $25. That is not entirely true. That is two more practice sessions on tires...two more heat cycles, and fuel. On the old schedule I could run (safely and pretty fast) one entire weekend on one set of tires. I would run 4 practices (2 each day) a GT race and three sprints. Now that has increased to 7 practice sessions (I know a racer bitchin about too much tracktime) and really makes those last two races on Sunday a slide fest.
Here is what I propose (I hate when people propose a problem but no solution):
Move the L/P only (racers pay extra) sessions to the first two in the morning. This allows the hectic rush in the morning to relax some. Registration is not so hectic when you are in line for an hour in the morning (combined gate wait and registration, Willow was really rough) and your first practice is already out on the track. The riders school could still be the last three practice sessions.
This way racers are not "forced" to pay the extra money. We get all the practice as there is more time for tech and registration and we are not sitting for 3-5 hours before we race. In addition, the racers could still pay the money if we wanted to gain the extra track time.
Speak up if you have an opinion (for my point or against it, maybe I am missing something) on this. I have been racing CCS since the 98 season and have never had a negative opininion of the operation. I really feel they would change it if we let them know how we feel. I don't think the decision to run practice this was a conscious decision to "extort" more money from the racers so I hold no bitter feelings but I do feel there is a better way of doing it.
Thanks.

Knock yo ass silly like you is on some pills

You'll be as good as me in no time
Take my advice cuz I'm the lyrical genius
or you might take it from Bubba right in the anus
LP Trackdays is what this post be about
The idea stinks like rotten dog doo doo.. aight?
A race weekend is for racers racin
Not for trackday riders pacin
Us racers.. CCS be cold jackin
We gots to do somethin instead of sittin here slackin
Dangerous it is to share the track
To think this is safe CCS must be on crack
CCS aint never gonna throw us a bone..
So we must call in my man Tyrone
Holy sh*t Brian, you "really" have nothing to do all day at work...do you! ;D

Yo..you be talkin 'bout this gay sh*t

All this rhymin and I ain't no rapper,
You just been dis's be me, the cracker.
I know all 'bout that LP trash
I lived the schedule, I got the rash
I ain't taken nothin form Midwest
'cuz from what I've seen they rap the best
What I'm sayin is if we got to have it
Let them start early, give me time, that's phat
See Southwest, we not been paying the bills
If we lose our race schedule, I'll be gettin the chills
I can't afford to drive farther, the trip is too long
I'll have to race on the street and you know that's just wrong
Don't be dis'n this white bread, you KNOW that I'm good
It ain't about grammies, but ALL about "wood"
Word
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Dave - that was really good.
How long were you working on that one?

Ummmm....2 days, 6 hours and, no..wait 3 days, 4 hours,and, no, no that's not it.
I think faster than I type, a secretary I'm not
The words roll off my togue, but my fingers are shot
This isn't my thing, I'm just wingin' it Yo
'Cuz racin is phat and this rap's got to go
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
in an effort to unite all regions
we step up and type out our reasons
safety is part of our focus
that wont disappear with hocus pocus

Quotei better click "logout" qwik
fo i fool around and post a picture of my......(click)
We don't want to see your "click", this where it has to stop
While this rhymin' is fun, it's the racin' on top
You speak of uniting and working as one
From all different regions the racing is fun
The best is comraderie you get at the track
Second to none, your friend's got your back
CCS is trying to give us a venue
For profit it's true while not trying to dis you
They're doin' there best with the resources they've got
Given street riders and new racers a shot
At becoming Haydens and Bostroms alike
By hitting the track, and REALLY riding that bike
A liitle fine tuning the schedule will take
To make everone happy is really just fake
There will always be whiners, they're here to stay
But change whiners to winners, that's the CCS way
Yo
What the hell is you two talking about?
I eat my hotdogs with saur kraut
I got mad rhymin skills as all yall know
And I'm a pimp and you can be my ho
I'm in my office reading this shizznit and cold chillin
Some of the words you be typing be straight illin
Talking all that nonsense with yo hungry ass shoes
I'm from the school of hard knocks and I done did paid my dues
Front on me and I'll straight up snap
I'll knock you on yo ass on your warm up lap
Lp Trackdays be mad booty yo
So step up to CCS and say what up though!
Don't make me pull up in my six fo with switches
Cuz I'm a pimp and i be pullin mad beeyatches
slappin yall down is what I be about...
Cuz I'm the pizzimp theres no doubt
Come work for me and I'll put you up
Just come by my pits and say wassup
Don't come unless you be packin
Or you'll experience a straight up jackin
Slap you in yo eye with my trouser trout
Believe me you don't want to take that route
Then I'll slap you down and say take a hike
Pop yo ass in the eye aint that right Ike?
Another day and I'm back
Joins us the Revrend called Kwak
He's up on the rhymin'
But uses hot dogs for timin'
With all of the noise that's been made on this thread
No others join in, you'd think they were dead
We know there are other opinions out there
We're not askin' for rhymin', just show us you care
This is a topic that affects all of us Yo
To CCS it matters, we all have to show
We don't want to be dis'd, we want to race bikes
We can comment on this thanks to a man we call Ike
Put down that assignment, tell the boss to go blow
We have opinions to write, you're the star of the show
Don't be intimidated by all of the rhymin'
Whip out those keyboards and start with the chimin'
Word
OK you guys, please cut it out.
This is a great idea and should be taken seriously. I hope Kevin E. reads this thread and decides to do what you suggest. But this rapping crap is going to prevent it from being taken seriously.
I don't want to share the track with a trackday mofo
Even though my riding skills may only be so so
I pay to race with yall who's time and money is invested
Even though my lap times may get bested
We gots to stand up and fight the power
Hold our picket signs under the scoring tower
What's right is right and wrong is wrong
I'm one sexy mofo in my zebra striped thong
Cuz they call me sweetness and I like to dance
Running the ball is like makin romance
We had this goal since training camp
To give Chicago a super bowl champ
We didn't come here looking for trouble
We just came to do the super bowl shuffle
They call me fridge... I'm the rookie
I may be big but I'm no dumb cookie
I can dance... you will see
the others.... they all learn from me
sorry.. i ran out of rhymes ???
