First of all Thanks to every body that came out. And i want to apologize to every one for the major lack of run time. There are so many people that helped out, None of this would have been possible without all you guys. I have alot to say so please read.
To everyone that i have talked to and have posted on the suggestion thread, Thank you.
And i pretty much agree with all of them, except "find people that know what there doing". I think everyone that was with us meaning SFLdrifters did a great job. But to kinda explain why it was mess I will fill everyone in on what I had gone through that day.
1. seat time
When me and the owner had meet originally, I had stressed to him about having as much seat time as possible, I was supposed to be runnin the whole thing. He had originally wanted to have two other events that day, I had to talk him out of that ,thank God it rained and shut down the drag racing event. He had agreed to let us run untill dark, but he said he had to close down cause of lighting, (which cleared up) this guy was calling me constantlly, he was tring to get me to cut group C's runs short so he could run the dragsters, I was battling with him most of the day, Basically he didnt realize or know what he was doing, and unfortunatly he owns the track, and had all the money from the registrations. Bottom line i wont hold another event here unless i can get a signed agreement to have the track for atleast 12 hours, and dont plan on going over 30 cars.
2. Krails
I hate K rails but i do agree we needed more ,but again that was the owners responsiblity, i had requested to have atleast 1 K rail in the center for the photographers.
They also were suposed to have their people directing traffic and the crowd. Me, mike, sebastian, and some of the other guys had to deal with some of the dumbest rednecks in south fla, including the guy with the trailer.
3. I tried to get all media in for free, but the owner again bucked me and when i had asked him to get media in for free he said and i quote "no more then 2 or 3" i had laghed and said i would have atleast 10, he said no no thats way to many.
4. Front gate i need some girls to take care of that for me they seem to follow directions better.
5.Complete circle
We found out last minute like what mike said they were moving it, Plus we figued to double back would make it a longer run, and safer cause of the lack of k rails. the only guys that came close to them wer Erick, Ryan, Estie, Juan. Everyone else was atleast 10 feet away from the rails, but tell you the truth i didnt get to see most of the event.
And finally
I had giving the owner a full list of the drivers names and year make and model of everyones car before it started, im sure you herd him yelling at me in the begining "TIM" i cant read the numbers on the cars!! I spent over an hour tring to preset the driver groups so that he could anouce it corectly, but so much for that.
So finally i am very very sorry for the major lack of run time, and i take full responsiblity for the mess we had deal with, i should have lock down full control from the begining. I promise it will be better next time.
