[QUOTE]Originally posted by WHYT LIE: [QB] Ok, this is getting out of hand. We (Norcal LS1 and the staff) are getting a lot of blame we don't deserve. The track and the track officals are the reason most of these things happened. Now, there are a number of issues that ARE our faults and I have no problem admitting that. 1) The time constraints because of the prior event running long. Remedy? Next year for the "large" event such as this one, we are going to rent the track for the entire day. 2) The track not even knowing we were supposed to be there that night. Remedy? Have a meeting with the track/officals the week of the event and make sure they are aware of what is actually on THEIR Calender. 3) The rules will be dialed in more next time. This event evolved over time from one thing to another... ever heard of too many cooks in the kitchen or too many chiefs and not enough indians? Remedy? Next time, only one or two people will make the decisions to the best of their ability. 4) Number of runs per car/driver were low. Remedy? More time next event will permit a fair number of runs for the money. 5) Grudge/Loser lane, non existant. Remedy? Next event we will have the ENTIRE track to ourselves and won't have to worry about space limitations like we did this event. Also, first round loser buy back. 6) Poorly organized. Remedy? Now we know what we can depend on the track/officals to do and next time be prepared to have more help and what needs to be done. I can tell you this... If I personally were racing, I would be upset. But I've been to Grudge nights (NORMAL Sacto run grudge nights) where I was there ALL night from open to close and got 2 or 3 runs in. However this was NOT a grudge night, but an actual race. Ask the people who won the money/trophis if they had a good time and thought it was worth the time/money. I will personally appologize for the mistakes, disorganization, and lack of direction for the event. I hope you do not hold it against our car club or think we were just out to make money. We do donate a good amount of money towards charities from the money we make, and the more money we have in our account the more events we can put on. How many other events with this idea behind it are available in Northern California, let alone the West Coast? So once again, sorry for anyone who is upset or feels wronged. This next year we hope to put on two events. One will be a Ford vs GM event (line up Mustang vs Camaro until the finals, etc) which will be late model EFI ONLY! This event will be on a Sat night in late April or early May (hopefully.) Then in Sept we hope to put on an event such as this past one, but rent the track for the ENTIRE day. Have more classes and take our time and make sure folks get the number of runs they should. [/QB][/QUOTE]
