ghostuss · 03-14-2005, 04:51 PM

WOOT I MADE iT!! SWEET! Now I got get my clutch replace and get some tires ready hehe. Narc wanna carovan there in the morning??

007jpang · 03-14-2005, 06:16 PM

ok im thinking of selling my spot cause i bought the wrong tires for my rims and im limited with funds... but here's the deal.

if you want to buy my spot you will also have to buy my tires (2 brand new Kumho ECSTA 225/50R15) it would be a total of $175.

so it's a package deal...

if no one buys this package deal
then i would just drift at the event and sell the tires some other time.

Pm Me you # if interested

woooots, i just got a call from Candice Miller (i think that was her name) I'm in and as of 3-14-05 there is a cap of 81 drivers =O

Andrew Bohan · 03-14-2005, 06:45 PM

this is crazy. why not just leave it at 66 drivers. if i didn't make it, fine. i'll move on. but now i have to wonder if i'm in or not. i don't like not knowing, especially since i have to take time off work to do this.

make a decision and stick with it.

it's not crazy it's wanting more DINERO AMIGO

Andrew Bohan · 03-14-2005, 08:02 PM

don't they know that being greedy makes people not like them?

Var · 03-14-2005, 08:23 PM

i dont think it's a matter of being greedy. technically they are sticking to their word. if you read the original post it says *estimated* cutoff is 66 drivers. also it says the deadline will be determined by postmark date. if they had recieved 66 drivers by 3 weeks ago i'm sure they would have closed it down.

evo86 · 03-14-2005, 08:29 PM

Okay, here it is:

As you can see we received 75 entry's for the subject event and
probably will get a few more on Monday postmarked by March 12.

With sixty six cars the grid structure would be eleven cars in each
line with three lines running on parallel courses and the other three lines working.

With seventy five cars, the grid structure would increase by 1.5 cars
per line. If we get "a few" more on Monday I don't expect the, per
line,car count to exceed 13 cars per line.

The increase from the advertised entry cap should have a minimal impact on seat time and the Sac Chap Board of Directors has decided to try and accommodate the overage.

With the above consideration we feel obligated to, at least, review
applications with a post-mark of March 12.

I've requested to extend the track time to 5:00 pm to cover the lost time due to the added driver. They don't have a problem running the event until five if anybody's left with tires and gas, but we're not going to hold it open that late for a few diehards. Keep in mind that the next day will be SCCA practice, so we would like to go home and get some rest for the next day. I know none of you care about the SCCA practice

thanks for watching out bro...

i'll give you a call sometimes this week.

Agent_S13 · 03-15-2005, 10:22 AM

That's nice to hear about the 5 pm extension.

I'd also like to point out something else -- its 75 (or 81, whatever the cap is) drivers. Not necessarily the number of cars, due to the fact that there are a few people co-driving so there will probably be around 75 or even 70 cars out there with the other drivers riding along. That shouldn't be so bad, right?

As for people complaining, I agree... we were given a number (66) and those of us who registered early hoped that it would be capped at that. Sure the extra fee's acquired can help offset the costs but if people complain about the lack of driving time, then who's really to blame? What's the good of getting a few more drivers if no one signs up for future events because previous participants complained about only getting an hours worth of seat time?

There's a reason why Club4ag Drift Days and especially Al's private events are praised --- for their ability to balance track time and participants. People feel like they're getting their money's worth with all the track time. Its a limited driver arrangement but people don't complain. They get their spots filled, have a good time, comply with the track staff for a smooth/fun event, and get invited back for future events. Its not about quantity, but quality here. If people don't get in to an event, I doubt they'll complain too long... especially if you set up another event in a month or two. Might teach them to send in their money earlier (even without online registration).

Just playing devil's advocate today...

TRUENOCOUPE · 03-15-2005, 03:09 PM

Theres a few of us that registered that is not even driving but helping the event go through. (Like Me.)

So don't worry, Im sure you guys will get some track time.

-Al

Agent_S13 · 03-15-2005, 05:18 PM

Thanks for the info Al.

I'm also checking the Club4ag post since there's some interesting information regarding 2-drivers, 1-car scenario and work groups.

Link to post: 3/19 SCCA Event

Lots of good information/questions there.

Hopefully this will all be resolved before Saturday.

Can't wait to get out there!

the entrace will be on airport way. so as you make your way through charter, you'll go under a bridge and right after that is a traffic light, this is airport way, MAKE A RIGHT here (or left coming from 99). once you make a right (or left) you'll see the area on your left side, turn left into the driveway, you'll have a clear view of it, can't miss it.
see you all there!
