With all due respect, they can't make any big changes if we all show up like dummies and hand over our cash regardless...



anyway, one thing that made me a bit happier:

There is a limited area available for each garage, so if there are 6, 7 or 8 guys, even if it's less, they may not all be able to fit in the spots, so someone is going to have to go elsewhere in that case.

Now the one thing I am having a problem with is the extension cords; people can only run extension cords acrossed road ways if they have them under one of those cord covering speed bump things.

I personally don't see an issue with the storage fee, as it's "fair" now that new people can use the lot. For me, storage is now an option, and I would spend more than $200 in gas, let alone wear and tear on my truck by not towing back and forth. It would be nice if some kind of security camera was thrown up with a couple of the dollars this policy will generate.

This isn't even on your forum yet. I smell a ploy to get the rest of us to boycott to assist you in a hostile hawk takeover...

So after I pay them for storage and security on the trailers or RV, can I assume their insurance will cover meagainst theft, vandalism and break ins

Dan, I'll let the RV go for 2500

Nah... it'd be more fun to just ride around unregistered scooters and let security chase us. :jackie: I kid I kid......

stop being a puss, it's only annoying for the guys who are used to one thing, only to have it changed.

Thats what im saying. I was planning to get my license sometime soon. From some people ive talked to racing was a cheaper way to ride on the track. Its sounding like track days may just be cheaper after all. Not true?

If you do 3 races...

$180 in fees, $25 to camp

$205.

3 races, 24 laps
4 practices, about 30 laps

about $4/lap.

not sure the breakdown on trackdays, but I wouldn't say it's cheaper.

4 practices, about 15 laps. Less if you're not Expert and on a middleweight bike.

i think they should take the $10,000 purse thats only available to experts and put it back into the club and defer some of the new fees that way it works for everyone

that, or do the random $ spots, like VP and some other sponsors did... then anyone showing up will think/know they have a chance of winning something.

either way, i'd rather not complain about that (at least to NHMS) - maybe LRRS can suggest re-distribution to that, as if we go criticizing their big contribution, it won't go over so well.

Even if they did, every 10th race entry is free or something... would increase sales, and be there for everyone... without crunching #'s, not sure if that qould equate to the same amount of money.

So it seems like the Infield will be more populated like when I started in 05. Seems like renting a grarge is a hassle now, to much to think about. My EZ up Tajma Hall will be in the same spot as the last 5 years. nice and quiet over by turn 1 and pleanty of room. Come on over

Weird. I averaged about double the amount of laps per practice. 4 practices = 28 laps average based off my notes. 7 laps per session.

T1a will be making a return to T1a.

It means come up and pay to leave your camper here the first weekend then turn around and go home cause there goes my entry fees. And it IS a lot to me.

looks like I'll be corner working on the track and in downtown Laconia :mope:

$1153.00 fuck you's......I forgot about the license

All of these new finance desisions to try and juggle in my life and racing just got more complicated. Do I want to race?, yea I really love racing, hmm... good thing I took a basic economics class in the Sixth grade and they taught me a secret weapon, How to budget

And these dumb asses will think it is because of the economy when it is even emptier than last year.

The pit bike thing is really lame. I always liked hoping on someone elses bike and blasting to reg. The new fees are really bad timing. I never understood the everyone is hurting for money so lets charge them more thing. I guess it will be small grids again this year:(

1. Did you have a camper that was grandfathered in?

2. Do they allow campers to stay their through the winters? I wouldn't want to anyway.

3. Camping fee, replaces gate fee unless you're not running 3 (if you're under 3, then yea... that sucks for you).

4. $200 - yes, also sucks... I am disappointed to see that they didn't come up with cheaper alternatives.

5. that's your choice, garages have always cost money!?
