yeah I remember McMoo from the track last year.

[quote=“Locutus,post:55,topic:26320"”]

4 people paid :gotme:

ask the 4 people if they can make it on the leading poll date.

i call shenanigans

[/quote]

I can make it on both the 15th and the 22nd and they are leading so I’m in.

Even tho i voted for the 29th (which I wont be able to make)

$50 is nothing for a track day

Yes, I’m a real person, if I wasn’t why the hell would I have paid $50 already? I got linked over from roclife last year when you were doing the 2nd track day, I’ve just never gotten around to being active and posting on here. I’m good friends with shockwave179 and he told me there were track days at Dunnville again so thats where I came from.

I guess I’ll introduce myself too. My name is Mike, 20 years old, go to RIT. Drive a black SRT-4, last years track day at Dunnville was my first time on a road track, had only done auto-x and drag racing before that. It was lots of fun so I definitely wanted to go back this year.

I thought you lived in the NJ area? All said and done it would be cheaper and more convienent to go to Pocono, there are tons of (I count 11) new driver events with instruction. Go down to post #4

my beef was you, with Zero posts on this message board, takes advantage of a nyspeed sponsored event. im sure your a great guy, but IMO its a little troubling when its so close between two days and payments are being collected for one day, which all the sudden nullifies all the other date.

thanks for the advice. i already plan on attending some track days with s2ki.com … but my location is irrelevant. i wanted to attend this event. I would make a weekend of it and visit my family. In my opinion this event planning gets a -10. People being allowed to pay for a particular day before the close of a very close poll, for lack of a better word right now, is retarted.

I’m not really sure what Onyx was talking about, but I know for a fact McMoo and I both payed because we are going to both events no matter which day there on.

Yay, more turbo dodge love. :slight_smile:

MAybe he doesn’t post because he’s not into the drama :shrug:

He goes to the events though, so I would hold him in just as good a standing NYSpeed member than anyone who has 1000+ posts. Track days cost money, so we appreciate anyone that pays promptly and is going to support the event no matter what day is picked :tup:

I don’t know why you are thinking that. The poll clearly has an end date, and we already stated that the date wouldn’t be chosen until the poll was closed. If we wanted to dictate a date, we wouldn’t have made a poll.

You are entitled to your opinion. But since we have to pay for this trackday with money, good planning would dictate allowing those who are going regardless to pre-pay to guarantee their spot. That’s good planning by the participant (guarantee spot), and the organizer(s) (guaranteeing money to help pay for track and reserve our time ahead of schedule).

Nobody is forcing anyone to pay money if they can’t make it. I noticed quite a few people saying “I would go/pay if it was on XYZ day”. If you can’t make it this time around, there is another track day in August. Plenty of time between now and August to plan accordingly.

im glad you said what nyspeeds position was on this. to clarify, this is why i said what i did

[quote=“Onyx Z32,post:53,topic:26320"”]

Well right now the money is talking more than the poll up there. Everyone that has paid already prefers the 15th. One more day and I’ll have a decision.

[/quote]

when that was posted it was like 19 to 22…

i like both you and josh, a lot :sexyman: but i still think things could have been handled differently. its a moot point right now. have fun at track day. someone let me know if the 15th loses so i can come whip on everyone.

Damn John, lol.

I said what I said about “Money talking” because when I looked at the poll, and those who had paid, the paying people had selected the 15th. And yes, that held much more weight than a few votes because of this simple fact - I front my own money to get the deposits in for these track days: The less I have to put up the better!

If there are members who participated last year, who I already know are good for it, I’ll choose pay for the date they want before someone who I don’t really know well.

Next time if you want to front $1k I’ll set the date up whenever you want! But until then I’m assuming all of the risk here man, give me a break.

Besides, the poll says it’s multiple choice - if some people can’t read, that’s not my fault. I even said in my first post:

[quote=“Onyx Z32"”]

Vote for the days that work best for you - majority rules :tup:

[/quote]

And the 15th is on top after today.

It’s not like I don’t want you there man. :gotme:
