Due to the fact that gas is still $3.10 a gal. up here I may never leave my house again.

2 more bux a gallon and we can burn VP in our cars

Autobahn - access to the track is closed at 10pm. CCS/FUSA gate person leaves at that time. It is up to the race track after 10pm.

Jeff it was even worse on Wed......we got here way before 10 to do the track day, but we couldn't get in.  There were people at the gate who would let us check in, but they told use we had to camp in the parking lot. Rather than unload the trailer we got a hotel.

Further compounding the frustration was the fact that we had to leave the track and come back in on Thurs......they made all of us leave.

I heard about that and have VERY strong feelings/opinions on it which, I'll really have to keep to myself...  This is not to say I don't know or understand why it was done as I very much so do.  I just don't agree with it...   :-X :-X :-X

For all the money I pay to CCS they should have someone waiting on us hand and foot... that includes putting personal at the gate.

What I saw at Autobahn was the biggest cluster f*ck in my life.  CCS making us pack up our entire pit and move outside the gates, just so they can make sure that all of the 500 registered people can pay thier gate fees.

Maybe they should do the smart thing and make provisions in advance to make sure this sort of hassel does not happen in the future.

WTH!  What was the deal there?  Didn't they make you pay on the way in originally?  I am so glad I didn't go now.

[R1abuser]

Yeah, they did... but they "wanted to make sure no one was sneeking in"...

Glad they inconvienced everyone with hours of work to break down pit and relocate outside like we were a bunch of gradeschool kids.

I personally think it was because with the little parking lot and the fact they had the trackday prior to the event, some of the squids (such as myself) had pit set up on prime real estate and the big dogs did not have PREMIUM spots to set up...

As soon as our buddy broke down his camp, the Pirelli truck drove right over and snagged his spot.  Apparently if you truck/trailer is large enough then the rules are negotiable.  He must of been a FUSA team owner... LOL !

Yeah, I was pissed !

[spyderchick]

I wasn't there, but why make everyone take down their pit set up? Were they worried someone was hiding in a trailer or something?

Since I've never seen CCS do anything like this, was it at the direction of CCS or Autobahn? Weird...

[TommyG]

I was not there either but the popular rumor is we do not have to worry about crappy track surface, lack of power, no pa, or any other problems because it may not be financially worth it for ccs or fusa to go back.
Evidently the racetrack commands too much $$$.
Just what`s floating around out there...... :-[  

[r1owner]

Gateway is open!  ;D  OR what about Putnam?  Is CCS in any talks with them?

Sure wouldn't break my heart any  ;D
