As well, all competitors who finished in the top 5 for the 4 weekly divisions get free registration for next year and passes for driver and three crew members to get into the track at the back gate for free for the 2008 season.
My fear is this will drive up back gate admissions to cover the revenue loss. On a nightly basis it will amount to about $300 less or about $6000 less over the season when registration is add in.
I hope it won't happen.
Only other comment I can make is that there was no reason for Jerry to swear 5x during his opening speech. First my wife didn't appreciate it (so Jerry is now a A**, in my wife's book, way to go) and secondly I know there was a least one minor in the room. In the shop this maybe OK, but at a Awards Night.
DB71 you do have a good point losing $6000.00 at back gate revenue will hurt and they will have to find away of making it up
some how.Not that it was abad thing to do to give these drivers and pit crew (3 Ea ) registration for next year that is great on the tracks part.Now the track has set a presents for years to come.Will this be permanent every year who no's if so it can be costly. As for your statement if it is true this person Jerry swore 5x during his speech he should be ashamed of him self should apoligise to the people that were there. If you want to call this management acting like this I hate to say you(Track ) still have a long way togo to get back where you were the best short track
in Canada
I was wondering if anyone at the banquet was talking about the OSS and the chance we might run there in 2008.
As well, seeing that most of you in this forum are Racers, does anyone know of any Sportsman or Super Series cars sitting. We are looking for cars for racers to purchase, as well we are also looking for Cars to build our Car count.
If you know of someone please have them contact me at oosracing@hotmail.com
Thanks Dave
Dave not one mention of the OSS running at DS. I'd be surprised if they will pay the reported 10K you guys are asking for next year.
As DB71 stated, the trucker talk coming out of Jerry was uncalled for especially after dragging that poor women up to the podium to look at the picture of Jesus. What was that all about anyway?
All in all the whole deal was fine. The mix up with the point fund envelopes was kind of comical. When we finally received them most guys were pleasently surprised with the amount on the cheque.
