LP Sportdays Proposal (all regions)

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.

Yall both need to settle down
Unless you want to feel the wrath of the crazy clown

Don't make me show you my kung fu skills
Knock yo ass silly like you is on some pills

Practice a bit more on your rhyme
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

Yo..you be talkin 'bout this gay sh*t
your just mad 'cuz you been dis'd
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
