DW,
I too have been disappointed in operational procedures of the meet. Sounds like you MAY get one pass a day and some have reported not even getting one pass.. Bikes are generally faster to get down the track then cars.. And at that almost ALL of the bikes are short course bikes during this meet. And not only that almost ALL drive to the start and return from the runs on their "race" vehicles... This alone should speed up the meet. And they had a seperate track for the Run Watcha Brung vehicles, making less entrants on the main course... It will be interesting to hear what Rex has to say about the functionality of the meet.. This is the fourth year I think of the meet and it hasn't gotten any better for running of the vehicles. From what I have been hearing from the many people calling me on the phone at the meet.
At speedweek with double++ the entries they were able to get one and some even got two passes during the days... I think it has to do with their pre staging lanes, and last year they had radio communication problems...
Just waiting on UPS this morning for the Haltech ECU, and we will be one the way for the last day or two of the meet. Ack called this morning and said winds were very high, some rain came thru and there was rain coming in from the SW this morning.
Maybe all in all this was meant to be for me... First the HALTECH ECU shipping error delaying our departure, then while talking on the phone to Joe the next door neighbors kids football went down a city drain, so I go over and pull this solid iron 3x3 circle of a lid off to get their ball, PULL MY BACK, then yesterday Keilani and I and her parents are sitting in the garage when this harley zooms by our house, soon after a sport bike comes by and right in front of my house grabs full front brake instead of the clutch and endo's the bike.. Not wearing a helmet the first thing that hits is his face, bike skids to a stop about four houses down to the end of the block, the guy skids to a hault next to a pickup about 2 1/2 houses down.. Face full of blood, other guys runs home and gets the dually, they load wrecked bike up and haul ass out of here. Cops, fire, ambulance come no one to be found... They got him at the ER... Maybe this is telling me something about the trip to BUB's..
