- ALL entries should be finalised at Friday's briefing meeting.............tents will be ordered based on entries received here
- A Team Rep can attend & complete entry details (register/pay entry fee)........
at this point in time, there is no appreciable change in lead-up procedures for this night drag racing event.......
- scrutineering session is 3-6pm...similar approach to scrutineering tent from main gate as last event
- officials briefing 6.15pm
- drivers' briefing 6.30pm
- open testing session 7-8pm
.
NB:- There are THREE 'rest' breaks built into the night's activities for the benefit of race teams & patrons (based on suggestions received from both camps)
BURNING RUBBER ON D TRACK FROM 8.15PM TILL C16 (or d local cocktail) RUNS OUT

Good Day all,
I just joined this forum today because I think that there is no other way to voice opinions concerning the certain members of TTASA that cause it to be in the sights that they are in today.
I've been involved in motorsports in Trinidad for quite some time now, and having worked cars that compete in the Drag Racing aspect of Trini, it has come to my attention after much observation of attending EVERY meet in Camden to this very day, that there is a certain individual that stands out.
Mr Link Sampath, you sir have destroyed the name and the credibility of TTASA with your attitude to the public, the racers, the spectators and quite frankly to all members who address you on this internet forum. People ask you questions and you INTENTIONALLY undermine them and embarrass TTASA's name. You parade around this forum, and the track like you OWN everyone, when in truth good sir, you have not yet contributed any POSITIVITY toward this development. The matter concerning the pocketing of finances purely demonstrate your true colours at this day in age. You are a sly individual and from what I've heard from EVERYONE outside TTASA, you are the BOTTLENECK in TTASA's GROWTH and development.
It is quite unfair that TTASA has to fight to cover up your trails and mistakes that you have led them to face. The entire St Lucia fiasco was the TIP of the iceberg. The public would GLADLY support TTASA without your presence remotely close to the steering wheel of their destination.
I've literally heard drivers who have PERSONAL problems due to how you treat and talk to people. Your people skills are quite insulting, not everyone you talk to is your son or daughter, and one day you may speak to someone with the wrong tone, and the way it may implied as quite disrespectful and you may have to suffer quite the circumstances of your words.
TTASA's goals aren't that bad, and they may be a SLOW work in progress, but with the common sense of a ignorant individual such as yourself Mr Link Sampath, you are CLEARLY the keep back on things. Whatever it is you do, from a managerial perspective with regards to TTASA, please take a step back and allow things to FLOW properly. It is pretty clear that there is not a soul in the automotive industry today that supports or can stand you. Please take your arrogance to your job and to your home, and please keep it FAR away from the FAMILY that Trinidad's Racers and Drivers are trying to build.
You Sir...have a good day.
Yours Respectfully,
Jason.

a properly designed modern dragstrip does not have jersey barriers..
the move to the Waterloo facility means these barriers will be of no use there........

which means :
When the move to Waterloo is made, it will be to a
'properly designed drag racing facility which does not have jersey barriers'hence the followup statement :the move to the Waterloo facility means these barriers will be of no use there........
that being said...chk this :

.
so u understand the 'difficulty' in justifying this expenditure from 'all d profits' when the funds can be directed specifically at a new drag strip...at the Waterloo facility.
.
enough of this now...it's off-topic...and will be the subject of another thread in due course.

the plan in Waterloo is to use the new 'plastic' barriers for the circuit track currently employed by FIA

See highlight above. So TTASA palnning on using sand bags on the "drag strip at waterloo"?
Next thing what is the estimated cost of on of these "advance new barriers" as compared to a Jersey Barrier?
a properly designed modern dragstrip does not necessarily have jersey barriers..
...TAKEN FROM THE LINK i PROVIDED ABOVE60’ (Includes 1’ Concrete Barrier on each side)
