ya exactly ross i'm glad you specifically mentioned the lucas oil guy cause he was there, which he should be, along with the majority of the rest of the sponsors like they have been for the previous 3 years i've attended. ross you are clearly an [COC-Edit - Watch the Language] in this coversation, it is really transparent, as well as the lack of sponsors being at the banquet and most likely a good indication that something is wrong with the communication between the sponsors and the track, seeing as the track didn't even know one way or the other that they would be there.
WOULD YOU NOT CALL THE TITLE SPONSORS OF YOUR F-ING RACETRACK TO SEE IF THEY WERE COMING TO THE BANQUET!!! THINK ABOUT IT!! WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
the way i see it it is one of 2 things took place:
1) no communication by the track to the sponsors regarding attending the banquet
2) there was communication and the sponsors decided not to come, then is was a bad move to announce all these awards to people you know arent coming because of the appearance it gives.
I won the championship and spent $350 on tickets to take my team to this.
I got $175, a trophy, and no jacket. and spent about $120 in the charity auction
I figured if there was no jacket that the prize money would be a little higher at least.
I think the prize money was higher last year and given to more drivers, and the meal and the location were the same, tickets half the price and trophies for the rest of the drivers in the top 10.
Sorry but it left a bad taste in my mouth....
Glenn wasn't making money most of the year but we didn't get raped at the banquet by him, he didn't gouge us on tickets and cheese out on the prizes.
and i'd like to know what charity i donated to as well, anyone know?
Special Olympics
ok good that makes me feel better...
and on a positive note it was nice to see the staff get recognized...
but overall i was left with the feeling that the banquet was more for the track than the drivers seeing we got less for more this year...the way i see it the prizes should at least stay the same if not increase....but i don't believe that they should ever get smaller unless you are spreading the same money among more people, not less prizes for less people for more money to attend
