This really sucks. I haven't been to RF in a few years and now I can guarantee I won't be attending any of their days this year, and chances are never again.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can personally say that *MOST* of the people I've talked to about going to this would not normally go to Rock Falls, nor would they even track their car. This was the perfect event for people who stand on the sidelines and talk shit (or respectfully) about some of the cars that are usually out there tearing it up to get a helmet on and make a few runs down the track, or even call out some of the 'big dogs' in an effort to show what your car has.

I know most people on this forum know this, but I'm writing this directly for rock falls' info. I own an 05 Evo VIII which is fairy well modified. This is my DD and while I run it through the gears daily, my wife has forbid me to track the car. Ever. Never ever. Fair enough, as I need to get it to work. For this event, she said that I could run it, and because of that, I've been talking to everyone and their grandma about getting their asses to the track so we can see who can do what. My car as it sits should run high 11's, so I feel as though I have a fair shot at a lot of pretty respectable cars out there.

I myself have put a *LOT* of energy (read: time and MONEY) into making sure my car is ready for this event, and to hear that the plug has been pulled makes me SICK! I've also put a TON of energy getting everyone I know that's even remotely into cars into coming (for once) to a drag event. Sorry to everyone I talked smack to, we won't get a chance to see who wins, but it doesn't matter because the EVO OWNZ YOU ANYWAYZ!!!

Riight chris. You are a pussy. Good day to you sir.

Look! I even got swifty riled up enough that he was *thinking* about coming! That says a lot considering all the kid does is drive around like a grandma with his wee T67!

Run it on pump gas! Run it with only two wheels! And finally, Swifty, why are you such a pussy!?!?!

[Swifty1638]

FUCK THIS! Carey, can you call BIR or someone else? PLEASE! Pay them. Scheides called me out at Bee's and I owe it to him to race!

Scheides, I'll still shit on your desk. And running on pump yes, 111 style. I didn't get the fuel system in in time, so that's waiting to later/next year with a shep tranny, JMF SMIM and N2o! Eat shit. Driving slow just allows me to spare the car it's life for a few miles, and allows you to keep up!

I just realized that I would still be humming along on my stock clutch (very happily) right now if this event had not been scheduled.

[Kracka]

I too have been pushing this event on a ton of other car enthusiasts that I know who would otherwise careless about a drag event. RF is loosing a lot of potential customers due to this.

[Swifty1638]

That's a good idea. However, I'm still WIDE open on the 8th.

I suggested renting pro-kart in MG for the day on the 8th, but it's still not quite drags.

A few of us are going karting in Cokato on the 7th.

[Super Bleeder!!]

Next year? Dsms with any sort of respectable power wont last that long.

Thats enough to make a guy puke... All the effort you put into this and it all boils down to this. He's going to close his track for the day now he probably is just assuming it will be a bunch of 15 secon hondas spewing oil on the track off the finish line and then continue to run all the way down the track.

If MAS opted to do this it would be a no questions asked deal and it would be on.

This really sucks. I made special arrangements to attend this out of town event and even had a few people planning to come out as well to spectate. I have never been to RF before and was happy to hear of a track that would support this type of event. Most drag events are not that fun for the fans and this one had a lot of potential.

I hope reconsideration or a Plan B is possible. When even the wives are interested is the event you know you had something special going.

Take the matter to The Pioneer Press and The Star Tribune, put his name in the paper as a pour buisness man running a pour buisness. The track is not in great condition the track prep is aweful.

Does Al wonder why he hosts so many NHRA events with funny cars and top fuel dragsters??? I've been there for the last 4 years and haven't seen one change or upgrade to the track or surronding areas. Part of owning a buisness is always looking to improve not just maintaining and raising your prices for equal services offered.

I doubt they would really care.

[2003eclipse]

I've seen things of much less caliber in the paper and it would make Al second guess his buisness decisions in the future.

excuse your face and my spelling tom

My goal here is not to make Rock Falls look bad, as like I said it was a misunderstanding on both ends of the equation. I just simply want him to see that such an event is worth his while...
