So pretty much an adult male professional out of college that can pay to come often gets shafted....



just saying..

everyone's gotta be mad about something. If you can't afford to race, then don't go. The man's just trying to help college kids. If you weren't smart enough to keep your college ID (I know mine doesn't have an expiration date), then sorry for your luck.

Im not mad.. I just think its bad business... at 18bucks an 8min race id think your target return customer would be someone that actually can be a regular... if giving a price break to "college kids" and people with vagina's is in the business plan but.. not trying to promote some kind of reward system for the folks on the CAR FORUM then maybe a reevaluation would be a good idea... I can afford to go as much as I want but I also want my business to be appreciated.

Maybe give your advice as to what you'd like to see done then. Personally, I went to AIK VB for the first time just the other day. I thoroughly enjoyed it but I too felt as though there was no real incentive for me to return other than the "$4 off" for being a member.

I think if AIK did a program where it's buy 3 race 1 free would still be profitable. Of course, that is assuming there is enough margin to make a profit off allowing someone to race a 8 minute race for "free".

I also asked about a monthly rate/fee or yearly pass but that wasn't available. I don't think too many people would buy a yearly plan, or maybe even a monthly, but some sort of incentive to bring customers out would help. I know when I was there the other night, it was dead.

Minus the fact it will never open. Each time that place is called it's the same response "we'll be open in a few days"..... a month later from the first call.

I actually did give a list of suggestions when AIK made the thread about opening in VB asking for ideas.. I suggested a punch card system like TS Cafe or doing a rental night a lot like you would if you rented a track such as VMP all prepaid so they would be at no loss if people flaked..

Without thread jacking to much .... Sat is their grand opening. Look for a few group events to pop up VERY shortly.
