CMP friday practice

[Z-man]

I just hung up with the track and this issue is over cornerspeed backing out of a $165 total camping fee.  I told the track that if it comes to it, I will cover the cost out of my own pocket if that is the only thing preventing camping from happening.  They were really nice and said they would collect a few dollars from each racer and I offered to cover any shortfall.


Cornerspeed, REALLY OVER $165.


CCS, just a bit disappointing that you would force Atlantic guys to make that 14 hour trip and couldn't help us just a bit.


Everyone, you can camp after 5pm.

Dude you rule! Let me know where you are pitted and I will be bringing beers to your site.

Oh and ccs officials and corner speed aren't welcome 

I won't take any cash but beers are welcome. I am in the last open garage. You guys can pay me back by not parking right across, lol

I've got some magic hat with your name on it! [and the wife packed some chocolate chip cookie bars to go with it too!]

Looks like there is a low turnout this weekend so that's why it isn't economically viable to pay for camping on Thursday. I guess racers don't like this track?

This track is great but it never ever has a good turnout, that is why Atlantic has to go and why they have to make it double sprints and rarely does expert contingency get paid out due to small grids.  I fought with Kevin when the schedule came out that making Atlantic guys go down there who want to run the full series only get a handful of guys dumb (like me) enough to make the trip and then the rest of the races suffer because championship dreams fade after this weekend so many turn into fair weather racers.

If a track can't sustain enough riders to have an event run proper, take it off the schedule.  Don't punish your loyal customers by cramming it down their throats and making them travel 14 hours for a race in their region.

A & J Recognition has arranged with the track for entry to the paddock starting at 5 o'clock tonite (Thursday) and continuing all night.

We'll begin selling armbands @ $35 (cash only) as soon as we're set-up & ready this afternoon, and have made arrangements for this to be done all night too.  The track will collect their normal fees for camping and electricity separately.

We hope this helps everyone.  We'll see you there!
