I agree! Everything went off without a hitch other than IRP sending out 6 people to work the ticket/vender/participant entrances. The DHRA guys started selling the 2 day passes to people in the lines! As if those guys didn't have enough on their plates.

Along with that having pics of your truck framed in the hotel, well where else do you wanna stay? :-laf
 
Yea... sounds good. . that is, if you were fortunate enough to get a room at her hotel. For those who were not I herd her talking to the cop and the mention that " All these people are not staying here" then herd the cop on the radio mentioned the two words that are firm enough to make folks (me anyways) leave. . PADDY WAGON. :mad:
 
It was a pretty good time EXCEPT: We got a "camp site" and stayed at the track with the expectation of being able to "anything" as stated in an earlier thread, like impromtu burnout contests, dounuts, etc. Funny thing is that the people that run IRP wern't allowing "anything" to be done. If there were any crickets, they would have been the biggest source of entertainment and noise.



Also, our "camp site" was a section of asphalt. Not too nice to pitch a tent on and the funny thing about asphalt the sun has been shining on it all day, it's hot for hours.



Some "diesel racing fan" punched a hole in a wall in the showers and tore out a water pipe. IRP locked the showers for the rest of the weekend.



Some yahoo ran over my "street" tires while I was doing the burnout contest and took off. My wife had to chase him down.



Then some "charming folks" in a Ford crewcab backed into our "camp site" (against the fence on the dragstrip) also while I was in the burnout contest. They got a little pi**y when I blocked them in while I was putting my street tires back on and started throwing their garbage on the ground while getting out of my "camp site". We did give their junk back to them but they were dicks. Not the nice group of folks I've met at other events.

Yeah, the camping at the track didn't work out as well as expected. I talked with Eric on the phone yesterday and the campground across the street will be advertised better next year. It is LITERALLY directly across the street and is a regular campground. I wasn't even aware of it until I got there and it was almost completely empty. Pretty sure that the hooliganism will probably stick around the hotels - always has.

If anyone knows those guys, be sure to thank them for getting golf carts and ATVs banned for next year.

Nice work fellas. You are heros.
