[boostbeast]

would there be any drags on sunday???

[DJ]

$350.00 for normal people?

[red_dragon]

^ 350 for non members to race

to spectate is 75,100,125

[deliah]

please confirm wha is the spectator fee..also if its gonna be more than $50.TT there should be proper seating..

[Sinister_Audio]

please confirm wha is the spectator fee..also if its gonna be more than $50.TT there should be proper seating..

due to the cost of the lighting towers and added security for parking and everything else for the night event, the costs for spectators are:

track side south side spectators: $75.00
track side north side spectators: $100.00
VIP in the pit seating $125.00

PLEASE NOTE:

ONLY 100 CARS WILL BE REGISTERED TO RACE.

[dreadman]

mite take ah pass

[Sinister_Audio]

mite take ah pass

this one wont be one to miss

[dreadman]

coolers allowed?

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are banners at your event there are obviously a number sponsors. At $75.00 a ticket, there has to be proper seating for ALL.

Lighting towers are rented by Power for Rent at $1500 a day.
Security is $27 an hour per person.

Let see how we justify this.
100 registered cars = $35,000.00 already.
If 200 ppl go thats average $100 X 200 = $20,000

We done start with $55,000.

Add up the number of sponsors' financial inputs, and I still cant wrap my mind around that initial $100.00 a seat with no proper seating.

Not trying to make out anyone, but cant we something better to encourage more interest in these kinds of events?

Will there be enough food and drink stalls, or will people have to jam up and bunch up to get their refreshments?

Will there be adequate and sanitary washrooms?

These are some of the major issues I always had with Numerous racing events.

Now that a driver's association is staging events they will now understand the accumulated cost involved, along with the hard work and sacrifice of quality time donated and unexpected criticism when trying to do your best.
As my good friend explained what they go through in the presentation of expected value for money in AutoSport. Sometimes it is good to see the shoe on the other foot. Best of luck Pernell, God Speed.

[White CZ4A]

If they plan on having many more events, I think it would actually be in their best interest not to have members race for free.
Members should have a 'subsidized' fee but not free. They need this extra money to invest in the sport.

Because if they plan to have more than 2 events for the rest of the year, then best I just become a member for $500(one time fee), as opposed to $350 x 2 times.

[FugiTECH]

Ok well if you all are interested in voicing your opinions and concerns you can be apart of it , feel free to contact Pernel at 686-0782

Or and to this

Will there be adequate and sanitary washrooms?

Air Conditioned ones at the Last Event

[DJ]

^^nice, the g.f. will be pleased.

FOR HOW MANY TOWERS?

Security is $27 an hour per person.
HOW MANY PEOPLE?

Let see how we justify this.
100 registered cars = $35,000.00 already.
HOW MANY TTUNDRA MEMBERS WHO RACE FOR FREE

If 200 ppl go thats average $100 X 200 = $20,000
APPROXIMATED TARGET ATTENDANCE IS 1200 PEOPLE

We done start with $55,000.
THIS:

Add up the number of sponsors' financial inputs, and I still cant wrap my mind around that initial $100.00 a seat with no proper seating.
MOST SPONSORS SUPPORT VIA THEIR OWN BUSINESS CONTRIBUTIONS EG: DYNO TIME, $$$ VOUCHERS @ SPECIFIC TUNER SHOPS, HAMPERS, AND HARDLY ANY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO OFFSET MAJOR COSTS.

Not trying to make out anyone, but cant we something better to encourage more interest in these kinds of events?
HAVE YOU ATTENDED ANY OF TTUNDRA's PAST 2 EVENTS?
IF SO, WHAT WERE YOUR ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN THE 1ST EVENT, THAT WAS NOT BROUGHT UP IN THE SECOND EVENT? AS SUCH, THE SECOND EVENT THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED IN THE THIRD EVENT?


Will there be enough food and drink stalls, or will people have to jam up and bunch up to get their refreshments?
THERE WERE AN ABUNDANCE OF DRINKS FOR SALE, ALSO A WIDE VARIETY OF FOOD FOR SALE, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF AN COMPLETE GYRO STALL.


Will there be adequate and sanitary washrooms?
THERE WERE, AND THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE.

These are some of the major issues I always had with Numerous racing events.
NUMEROUS? ARE YOU STEREOTYPING ALL MOTORSPORTING EVENTS INTO ONE?

patiently await your response kind sir.

rgds.

[16 cycles]

no national anthem played before start of event....on independence day..

one entrance in an out of VIP section....take into consideration flammable materials behind VIP (pits - c16 etc)

bikers parking bikes infront VIP section, with crew gathering, blocking spectators....or bypassing cars - just like on roads...don't mind seeing bikes run for an entire day back to back....but less time for cars

no board showing times of runs for competitors....have to rely on commentator who, to his credit, tries to do a good job

did enjoy the testing day....doing a good job....keep it up...

kudos to scrutineers..

You await my response? WHO THE F$&k YOU IS? My post was for the OP, maybe if you were to introduce urself first I may see it fit to retort, in the mean time, consider this:
'Netiquette' is the proper way of internet writing.
Writing in CAPS is equivalent to shouting
Writing in red is equivalent to anger

So, you wrote your responses loudly and angrily. Thats not professional, and in case you are one of the organisers, it goes to show the kind of people involved. Dont get all emotional over a simple internet inquiry my friend. It was just meant to contribute to make these kinds of events better.

Carry on kind sir.

thanks for the feedback, will present at the meeting tonight and will most likely address if not most, all of the points made.

(btw i too TOTALLY agree with you regarding the bikes)

i can assure you that he/she isn't part of the organisation (to my knowledge)
however, other than the red/caps, he does pose quite valid responses to your post.

see there's something that some members and affiliates take quite personal, and given the horrid history of recent drag racing, i can somehow understand why he/she may have sounded 'upset'

but again, he does pose quite valid points to your post regarding the costs

[COROLLA KID]

The BIG question is........"Will SKF be racing??"
And if yes...."shut up and take my money!!!"

[Sinister_Audio]

[JDM_GUY]

spectator fee is too high.
From 50 to 75? I will be missing this one.

[X2]

Might actually makes it to maco the racing this time

[Sinister_Audio]

because of all the added extra costs to put on a night drag, we unfortunately had to raise the price a bit to cover security costs and lighting tower costs (and other expenses that would not usually arise from a 'day' event)

we apologize for the uneasy increase in price, but promises that on the NEXT 'day' event the prices will reform to it's original $50.

Might actually makes it to maco the racing this time

i think you might actually like this setup and im sure you'll wanna come back out with that noisy a$$ boiled egg of yours :p

[msg1]

Looking forward to this event, in light of TTUNDRA's work.
