TurboNova Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I had fun at this years NTR Fall track day. I understand you get what you pay for and a majority or the participants did not need a track with a bunch of bite to run 12.50 and slower. I would also be interested going in with small groups of people for a little larger buy in and a heavily prepped track as well. Things can always be worse.

NHRATA Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm with Dan I had a good time at the fall track day. I don't go to them thinking the track is going to be it's best but I hope there at least safe . I did feel the track was safe to make a full pass that day so i just played . I still did a PB of 6.18 1/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I did a few private rentals on my own with like 15 people. It costs a lot more but no one spills. I was thinking about having some next year like that. Too many people not properly checking their cars and taking away from other peoples fun has become the theme from the sounds of it. How much was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboNova Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 how do you find out about these other track rentals? Did holt build your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 If people are willing to cough up the extra cash, I'll have them prep the entire fucking 1/4 and triple prep the first 660'. I don't care, but doing rentals takes a lot of my time up and it's a ton of stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I deff do like the fact that we have rentals. And we dont need john force prep. But at least spray 1 time and maybe the 60 ft 2 times. I watched them most of the day 0 times sprayed. With the water isses and leaks. Id gladly pay more for the badass trails experiance with some vht. For instance out may track rental is 100. Includes full prep with vht. And if the track goes away we can buy more for 10 a gal.

I'm shure at least the fast cars would pay more. Like Ant said, its too much extra work. It would be hard to trust the people in the staging lane to only let a select few into the prepped lane for the entire rental. Its hard enough separating radial from street tires.

Otis Nice Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Why would I pay a coulpe hundred so everyone can have a better track. Its not like I'm the only person seeing a benifit here. Extremely classy of you. This is what seperates you from the few CR members that everyone loves because they're willing to offer forth something for the enjoyment of others. They think of others safety/happiness/whatnot first and get their jollies by seeing others happy. So why would us slow asses pay more so you can get a better hooking track? I'm ok with the days as they are run now. YOU want it better, YOU pay for it. You jump in here and sling shit about how we are all slow and you aren't, why should we have to pay more since our slow ass shit doesn't need it? Seems quite counter productive doesn't it? Instead of talking down to all of us "slow asses" and whining constantly, DO SOMETHING or be a bit more tactful in your approach if you want other people to side with you. Bingo. Oh we'll I've already got a track rental in may bitches. Yet you felt the need to come here and complain even though you don't plan on participating in the future anyway?

Mattsv8 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 If I think there could be a improvement and everyone benifits yes. I'm not paying a extra couple hun. I'm not rich I don't have half of some of these peoples money. But if enuf fast cars are willing to pay a little more then what's it matter to u. Ill call and see about renting a lane for the fast cars next season. Brian how many cars a 120 was there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 ...Id bet u 1000 bucks... ...1200dollar konis... ...60000 in 19 yrs isint shit... No I can't foot a extra couple hundred by my self. If I think there could be a improvement and everyone benifits yes. I'm not paying a extra couple hun. I'm not rich I don't have half of some of these peoples money. I dunno about you, since i literally don't know you, but where I come from people who drop $60K on a vehicle (regardless of time frame), bet people $1K, and have $1,200 Konis are "rich" per say.
