LOL, cones were $6.91ea last time I checked, but we already have a couple hundred more than what we used today, so no worries. We only charge for timer boxes these days

Edit: looks like $8.82ea these days locally? http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/5W419

Holy crap, we really DO need to start charging for 'em, hahaha...

For my first time out, it was an awesome time. Very organized and lots of fun. Thumbs up to the staff.

As for the supra....we have all done it. I almost did it as i came that way right before him. I just followed the guy that went before me. A warning would have been fine, but now he nows. I would have liked to see that car run though, hopefully there will be a next time for him.

There was noting wrong with the track, He is a first timer and NO ONE HAD MINTIONED TO HIM ABOUT RULES AND REGULATION, DURING REGISTRATION OR TECH.

THERE IS ALSO NO SINGS UP IMPIMENTING CAUTION.


I MEAN COME ON HE DIDN'T DO IT NO WHERE NEAR ANYONE OR ANY F%^KING ANIMALS!!

The supra was kicked out for drag racing of of the tech area near the course into the grid area. The tech and grid area are walking speed only. He's lucky no one walked out into the area while he was playing around.

YOUR A JACKASS HE WAS NOT DRAG RACEING, LET THAT BE KNOWN. THERE IS A DIFF BETWEEN SPINNING TIRES, AND JUST TAPPING THE GAS. LEAR THE DIFF. BEFORE YOU MAKE ASSUMPITIONS !!!!!!!!

HE WAS ALSO AWAY FROM THE CROWD.

[QUOTE=getfast;4901435]The white Supra driver registered and went through tech then decided to haul ass across the lot back to his spot in plain view of everyone. Specifically....

Violation 1- speeding at the site (speed limit from the gate to the course is 3mph, i.e. walking speed. I'd say he was doing at least 40-50mph?)

Violation 2- speeding close to parked cars and participants on foot (i'd say 20-30 feet at most?)


Violation 4- loud exhaust/blow-off valve during quiet hour (VMP noise regulations are in effect until 12:00pm unless authorized by me, i.e. course pre-runs, and he wasn't authorized to make noise)




(1)
YOU ARE TOTALY INCORRECT THERE WAS NO WAY HE WAS DOING 40MPH IF THAT AT THE MOST 10MPH JUST B/C THE WASTGATE OPENED DOESN'T MEAN YOUR GOING FASTER THEN 40-50MPH. SOUNDS LIKE A NOOB STATEMENT ON TURBO CHARGED CARS/ SUPRA'S


(2) ARE YOU REALY SERIOUS ABOUT THE NOISE HAHAH THAT'S FUNNY B/C LAST TIME I CHECKED THAT ISN'T A RESIDENTIAL AREA NON THE LESS THERE WERE CAR'S MAKEING NOISE AS THEY CAME IN THROUGH THE GATE WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING TO THEM ...
