They have hired security walking around now as of last night. I had to pop my trunk for them to look in before I could drive my car into the track area. Thats the reason for the $1 now.
They’ve had that for awhile now.
Wait… so the reason I have to pay $1 is because of all the trash that goes to the event? The fact that they’re scumbags and can’t behave means I have to pay $1 even though I’m not one of them. FUCK THAT.
lol, its only a dollar. lots of entertainment and fail for only $1 seams like a deal to me. That will probably weed out alot of the poors too.
Yeah I know it’s only a buck and I wanna support the track but how much does it suck that their trashyness is costing me money? lol
how were your results? put down some better times then usual?
We were there last week and didn’t pay anything. when did they start this? or when will they be starting this?
next week theyre starting it
Lol no, ran even slower than normal.
By the time I got there it was running so hot that even after letting it sit for awhile it barely even cooled down.
I would have waited longer but I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I also got more wheelspin off the line than I normally do, so that could have slowed me down too.
I still think it makes more power though because the computer advances the timing more at WOT than it did on straight 93.
I’m gonna do this experiment again next time it’s cooler out.
To the guy spewing lies about a dyno graph from a car I tuned without noticing I was standing 5 feet away wearing a shop shirt last night:
Here’s my “super jagged” dyno graph we overheard you telling everyone about complete with exaggerated hand motions showing how erratic it was.
When I asked you about it I didn’t remember the customer’s name because I thought you were saying Chris Trace not Gerace and this was almost 2 years ago, but I figured out who you were talking about.
After you realized who I was the story suddenly changed and you admitted to never seeing the dyno graph?!?!
Here’s the “super jagged” graph you were telling people about, which is in reality about as smooth as it gets (my tune in red):
The reality is I tuned this car on a weekend despite having a family emergency that made me a little late and I gave the customer Chris a massive discount on the price because I was late. I really went out of my way to get this tune done and the graph is totally smooth.
I wonder who it is.
Thats the car community for ya. Drama like high school.
This was the highlight of the night.
I couldnt give him the satisfaction of me taking a photograph up close.
still havent went to this yet this year. went to canalfest yesterday, some nice cars and a good amount of scenery.
that kid was at mighty talking about this as well
It’s the track that is charging it and NOT, I repeat NOT Shredd and Ragan.
The excuse I heard is so they can cover the cost of security. So basically everyone that goes through the gate, spectators, people with show cars, etc will be charged $1 each to get in.
My question is why is he charging those with the cars to get in? Stop letting the SHIT get into Thunderdome. Sure it’s only a buck, but that’s the reason people come to the show, is to see the cars. Charge the people through the gates and stop letting in the shit cars.
Secondly, they say that 10,000 people go through the gates per Wednesday night. So security costs $10k a week.
I’m thinking this is going to affect the attendance. Sure it’s only a buck, but it’s the principle.
loll that track is reaching deep for any money they can get.
they were charging 20 at the gate for robosaurus, with NO MODS.
Growing up I never paid more than 14 for robosaurus with MODS.
Nothing says I’m too poor to pay my taxes like charging entry to that shit show lol.
People will still pay it, they pay 5 bucks a pass, so whats another dollar.
I remember show 'em off sundays, 20$ a car, unlimited passes.
I never made less than 18 passes on those days. most ever was 38 passes, I hot lapped the entire day.
Yep I know it’s the track and not The Edge charging it. But if they’re saying it’s to pay for the security then we really are paying because of the trash that goes there. If the people there weren’t trash, no security would be needed. Therefore, those dirtbags are costing us money.
Also, you’re right that they shouldn’t charge cars that go in. Show cars and cars that race make the show, why make it harder on them?
Lastly, a dozen rent-a-cops really cost $10,000/night? If that’s really the case, I should get into that business!
Also for those going this weds, i just painted my 280z with chalkboard paint for the summer i will have a chalk pale on the ground next to it. feel free to draw anything you want.
also choda if you read this, this is the car you towed from buffalo back in april
Bump. Does anyone go this anymore? What’s it been like?
