I couldn't give a shit about the power cruise or other upcoming events but I felt like those were kinda getting shoved down my throat all weekend.
Tech inspection, like others said speed it up somehow--I went to get inspected for drag while I was in between autoX heats--I ended up being late getting back for my second heat b/c of the wait, and we had a 30 minute break.
I know its the nature of the event being small but the diesel trucks really were a damper on saturday, but that almost made sunday that much more awesome!
+1 on centralizing info and registration
Biggest and most important? Unified classes between some or ALL events.
AutoX track was fucking EPIC, have the track be somewhat like that again next year and the organizers were fucking awesome. Tech took 30 seconds, driver's meeting took 3 minutes, we were racing before I knew what was happening. That's how it should be 
I know there were issues with some individuals, but security was acting like mean big brothers/disgruntled cops/a-holes, not like shepherds of an awesome race track like last year.
With all that, just do it again next year and hope for the best! This year was better than last year, I know it is crazy organizing an event this big--overall I had a blast!
Oh, and don't ask me to post comments on facebook--I don't have an account and I don't want one  |
I wanted to take a second and mention to you, and others some things that are we can't help, and maybe if you understood why they took place, you could appreciate them more.
As well as explain, not make excuses, but let you know we've got some of these covered already.
Upcoming events like the Powercruise, our sponsors, and everyone that is at BIR during an event like this is a necessity to the event, and well as to BIR.
Powercruise gave us prizes to giveaway, you may not care about that personally, but others do. BIR sees every event they have up there as an opportunity to promote another. Without this marketing, the track would lose money, and then where would we race? Learn to appreciate these guys, without them, there is no track, or event to go to.
Tech is something that shouldn't have been an issue. BIR had scheduling issues with tech personnel. I know, it sucked, but next year we'll be good.
Security was stressed, we had a few too many issues sat night. We have a plan for that already in the works!
This year our attendance was enough that we will look to have the track just to ourselves!
Hope that answers a few things for you guys. We really do appreciate all the feedback, keep it coming!
