Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?

[maperformance]

Good or bad, post it up. We are looking to improve this event every year. So help us out, we want to know.


Tell us what the best part was, and what the worst part was.

Bad: Not in TX :D

The only complaint I have is the announcer that Bir has. he seems to know nothing at all about the cars that were there and can't pronounce the word mitsubishi to save his life. I remember a a few years back at the muscle car shootout he was talking about Brent Rau's car and kept insisting it was a twin turbo lol. It would be cool if you could get someone to announce that had a clue what in the world he was talking about. If its not possible its not really to big of a deal just saying.

A centralized info center that is easily located and seen from a distance. In this info center, you will find info for ALL events taking place this weekend. Also you can buy your ticket to whatever event it is you want to do (i.e: AutoX, Drifting, road course, drags, ect…)

Gonna have us a really simple contest.

We would love to get some solid feedback from those who attended Proving Grounds this year. The best and most helpful, constructive criticism posted will receive 1 of 10 free t-shirts. We want to make PG 2012 the best event possible, and we need your help to do it!

Simply follow the link to our facebook page, post your feedback in the proper status update, and we'll select winners from there.

To answer a question I know will be posted, the reason we are using facebook to host this is so we have 1 location to collect info from vs going through countless forums.

Thanks for taking the time to help us out!

I tried lol, I went up stairs to the booth and told him how to pronounce it. I heard a lot of people complain about the same thing. It's hard to find an announcer who knows all the ins and outs of drag racing and knows our classes and event specifics.

Maybe next year I'll leave him a big sign that says Mitsubishi=Mitsoobeeshee lol.

There is a reason my second dog is named "Beeshe" and not "Bishi". :-)

I did hear through the grape vine that the car show portion was a mess again this year. A Stealth won "Best Domestic" WTF?

Payouts for drag, autox, road race, 1st - 3rd places. Actually keep track of places. Pair cars up better based on times in the classes. Post somewhat live results on Facebook and/or on a paper sheet somewhere. Have drag tech not take 2 hours, it should take 30 seconds to figure out what class a car goes in and check a few things over. Real awards ceremony, might be hard with some many things going on at such different times. Maybe do the drag eliminations in a way that all the finals are last, instead of just random based on number of cars in the field.

I agree with Shane on the tech. more inspectors are needed or something because that was crazy.

I also think the Map event and diesel event are both getting to big to share a day. everytime I went up to make a pass it was at least a 1/2 to 1 hr wait.

Other then that a great event at a great track I'll definitly be back.

Bracket racing not heads up.
