Re: AIK VA Beach and VA Driven
Compare AIK to F1 boston or GPNY. Compare prices and track size and races. Tell me whats up then.
GPNY for example :
Track Specifications:
* Two European-inspired race tracks
* 1/4 + mile in length each
* SIX different track configurations
* 6-feet of elevation change & 24-foot width
* 14 turns per track
price....

AIK... you have your pricing on par with go kart tracks that make your new place look like one of the rides at motorworld. All we are asking for here is a little price break for the people that come there week after week after week. I spent 30 bucks a week for X weeks when the special was going on, bringing atleast 3 others with me each time. Im done giving reasons why no special sucks. If you want regular business from us, you will come around. Until then, good luck at the new location.

Re: AIK VA Beach and VA Driven
I had fun, im not saying I didnt, im not saying im NOT going back either (wasnt trying to come off like thats how I felt either) .... just that it makes it hard for us to become "regulars" like we were at ptown on a weekly basis.
Hopefully this wasnt read and came off with the intent that I was trying to bash, if thats how it was taken I do appologize, that was not all my goal.
I love feedback (good and bad) in my line of work and what I can do to make my place better from regulars.

Re: AIK VA Beach and VA Driven
Now that you are closer, the $10 special would only make more people that live on this side of the water want to come out more often then before IMHO. Also the track size was cut in half, if not 1/3 (supertrack nights), so its hard to justify spending more money to run a smaller, less technical, track. Trying to get 30 people to organize and come out from the forum might work well for 2 or 3 times, but the way this place goes that organization would die quickly. When I would come out, I would bring atleast 4 others, and most of them dont post on here regularly. So you cant really base things upon who posts in these threads, alot of us round up other people that aren't on here all the time. Maybe there's some business aspect of why you cant run the special anymore that we aren't seeing, but I really don't see how it would be any different then before. Like i said, I would be out twice as often because you guys are now 5 mins from my house, vs. 20 mins. Not trying to beat a dead horse, but damn it was a hell of alot more simple before.

And now, ya'll are further for me.
Now granted, ya'll aren't making alot of money off us VaDriven people but o-well.
I won't travel out that way more than once to drive on your track. The old one was better.

Re: AIK VA Beach and VA Driven
zack and brokeneck beat me to it by a long run.
im with them, and another reason why i wont go. plus new staff isnt anywhere near up to par with the old staff.
they fucked up by hiring new people, instead of keeping alot of the old people.

Re: AIK VA Beach and VA Driven
I dont want to come off like im saying the new place sucks. If the 10 per race deal comes about, ill be up there weekly. I just dont see if we were so appreciated for coming out and being regulars, why the special got canned. Just like broke neck said, its hard to be regulars at 18 bucks a race.
