Ohio Mile April meet
« on: February 23, 2012, 04:36:13 AM »
The April meet is booked out at 175 entries.
Just a thought, since on all of our first passes we will be rookies why not hold a rookie orientation meeting on Friday afternoon and have the first waveoff earlier on Saturday. I don't know how many people might come in during the night but it would move things along a little faster.

Garrell,

I think you are kinda on the right thought process,,, But as Joe said,, we always have rookie meetings at 5pm on Fridays and again at Noon (lunch break) on Saturday for those who arrive after the Friday meeting.

What you may not have picked up on is the Rookie meeting is Mandatory for  all racers that have never ran down our course... so Yes,,, we all will all be "Ohio Track" rookies,, but not all of will be ECTA Rookies... so we all need to be at the rookie meeting and the drivers meeting...

It will all work out,,,,

"... filled up." Hmm... that really snuck up on me. How come nobody uttered a word about registration volume (at least not on THESE forums) until now?

I don't even have a vehicle ready to run, and already I'm feelin' "crowded out"...

I understand Charles, never insinuated that the veterans of the ETCA were rookies but since Ohio is  a new venue for all of us I thought the two meetings might be held together on Friday afternoon. I could see in Oct. at Maxton that a lot of participates came in over night and the idea would present a problem. My apologies to everyone that may have taken me wrong, I saw in Sept. and Oct.That everything clicked and between the ladies in the registration and all of the track volunteers and the participates  that everything fit like pieces of a puzzle and I don't want to be a left over piece. I will always do my part to be ready to run in the prestaged lanes and anything to not hold up the show. I will do more listening than typing in the future.

Jack, if you look back at other threads on Wilmington the subject of an upper entry limit has been part of the conversation right from the start.

I believe i mentioned it once or twice.  Mail your entry for the next meet the day of the first meet and you'll get a spot.  It just takes some planning ahead.

I am with PJ and David,, entry limits have been discussed well before they ever even opened up registration.

Plan ahead,,

The second and third events and so on can only be better as we all get experiance with the new venue.

Charles you are a silver tongue devil. I am sure things will be GREAT. If we can just afford the diesel to get there. If it starts hitting $5.00 a gallon its going to be a problem. $6.00 a gallon will be a show stopper for me.

Bob has Pete got your motor ready for this season yet ?

Yes travel costs with the rising price of diesel is going to be a big consideration.

My Bonneville plans all depend on available funds,,,Fuel costs are  35%/40% of the total trip cost when I figured on $4.00 per gallon.. when at $5.00+ per gallon,, sure presents a big problem,,

See u for the first event in Ohio

Yeah, I've read it all as it was posted- so?
What surprised me, is that there wasn't a single post such as "Entries coming in fast", or "Entries already at 50%", or etc.

There were also several mentions of it filling fast on one or two of the threads on this site.

PJack,

Doesn't matter. You missed the cutoff and you don't have a vehicle.
