im gonna stick with my belief that it was a bad idea to hold a 7pm - 1 am event. Im sure i have seen more cars show up for a fast friday than last night.
I remember tuner fest years back when it was the middle of the day and people from Florida, Alabama, and other southern states would show up and prolly bring 9 sec street cars and a lot of trailer cars that run lower than 9s.
actually no avg this year has been 125-130 cars w/ approx 250-300 spectators; so our numbers were pretty good considering we weren't doing anything but racing.Originally Posted by EJ25RUN

there is always the complaint that they don't prep the track properly - this could be some what of the cause + weather but driving is a major issue. tons of sh!tty driving last night + slow cars.
red ran a 12sec which i belive is normal for her she also ran a 14
jaime ran a low 13sec and he also ran 14 last night
tim ran 13 sec
sam ran 13 sec on first pass before getting kicked off
and there were 11-12 passes last night by 5 vechicles. so obviously some people could make it happen and others just fell short. everyone acts they they were robbed of 10 sec passes every year.
do you work for commerce or something? there was NO GROOVE WHATSOEVER to speak of which is slightly important at a track, of course street tire cars pulling up rubber doesnt help....take a trip to Macon/Twiggs National Dragway and let me show you what an actual groove is and then compare it to commerce....i bet you wont be singing the same song then
last night was the first time ive seen actual racing at commerce, ive been a few times to various events, but it always seems to rain, and i must say i was far from impressed (so much so that ill never waste a dollar of my money racing any car i own there), reminds me of the first 2 or 3 import showdowns at sdr....i now understand why people dont want to race at commerce...might be better off contacting sdr and trying to do something there if it must be 1/4 mile, otherwise id suggest a reconnaissance trip to macon national to see how a drag strips really done

dude same BS crying we hear every year - i find it amazing some cars still are pulling fine numbers; why would you say they were able to run 11-12 and others weren't? same track same conditions?do you work for commerce or something? there was NO GROOVE WHATSOEVER to speak of which is slightly important at a track, of course street tire cars pulling up rubber doesnt help....take a trip to Macon/Twiggs National Dragway and let me show you what an actual groove is and then compare it to commerce....i bet you wont be singing the same song then

i named atleast 4 vehicles that ran numbers they normally run sounds like you guys need to learn to adapt and stop crying that you didn't pull the numbers you wanted. sounds like a your making every other reason then driving.
furthermore we have not intentions to move any events to reynolds b/c we have a good working relationship with the Atlanta Dragway and they are committed to supporting IA and the Import Scene. Plus considering fuel cost I don't want everyone to have to drive 2 hours from Atlanta and over 100+ miles one way to an event. Fuel cost to get there is admission to our event.
1. I came to support my boy's event, so I didn't care if I ran a 16.
2. I only ran twice: 13.0 and 13.4. No 14's Paul, NO 14's....
3. Patrycja only ran twice: 12.7 and 13 something. She ran against me both times. NO 14's for her either.
4. We both spun like crazy, but so what. I think my best 60', if you can call that "best", was 2.1 almost 2.2.
5. We both had a good time.
6. Macon Int'l Dragway is 1/8 mi.That only caters to one kind of race car. Yes, I've heard that it is uber prepped. Yes, I've heard it's a bad ass super level and super nice surface. But 1/8??? No thanks.
The end.

it was merely a suggestion, for me MTND is 30 miles closer to my house than sdr, it costs $5 more to race, but the line is short and the track is prepped to the max....walk the first 60' at commerce on a friday night and i guarantee your shoes wont even make noise, at MTND its like walking through gum. couple that with the fact that its been about 2 years since ive really raced and you get me at a MTND working on my 60's since most races are won in the first half of the track....
im running the crappiest tires i have at the track in hopes that it will better prepare me for the day when i finally break down and grab a set of sticky tires
im in high hopes that TP3 is able to purchase the adjoining land out at MND, b/c word has it if they do they will be increasing the track to 1/4 mile...if this happens and they continue on the path they have already set theres no doubt in my mind they will put sdr out of business
