Rich-  We will be there round 10am on Friday, I'll do what I can to save our KC clown pit area.  ;)


Yea everyone will say they boycott it then there will be the rascals that take advantage of that and run it.  Then on Saturday they'll be that much farther ahead.  No thanks, I'm just going to do a half day and call it good.  

The lady I spoke to on the phone sounded very irratated that I asked for a discount.  She tried really hard to be polite though.  

I think everyone should bitch at CCS for not reserving the day.  It would have been the standard $75-100 if they had.  The way the manager at MAM made it sound is that CCS had the opportunity and denide it.

I'm on CCS side here...

The track charges a lot...they are proud of their packaging...

So, they have to run a twin sprint weekend just to try to get it to break even...

Most places they do NOT buy practice for a third day.  Maybe for FUSA events, but not a regional.  Regardless, $175 is about $70 to $100 than most tracks.

To make things worse, the Omaha/KC/Des Moines area doesn't have the thirty years or motorcycle road racing saturation in the market to give much support to anything there.  Chicago?  Well, Blackhawk was built in 1967...Road America...nearly forever.  

Being from Omaha myself, it was always hard to try to get guys motivated about going racing let alone just coming for a seven hour trip.

Doing the AMA series was good from Omaha though...I could be at Laguna, Sears Point, Daytona, Phoenix, or Loudon in 24 hours.

Looks like I've got a clean track on Friday!  :P

Chuck

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, then doing the trackday Monday (with some Super instruction  ;D).  I practiced there last year, so I guess that'll have to do.  I just got back from two trackdays at Grattan, so I'm fired up and primed baby!!!   8)
