Roll call for Vintage Celebration

I do note that the Go Kart guys have three weekend races at NHIS this year, and the SCCA guys have four weekend races at NHIS this year. I note that we have 0 full weekends.

You know....so maybe a collaborative effort between a couple of clubs and WE could secure a few full weekend races.
The USCRA membership seems to be increasing lately...maybe try to muscle in on some of these dates.

I know there are the stories of several new tracks (you know how that goes), one looks likely in NJ....but it seems to be the case that for some reason these other venues are never contacted in any serious way about hosting some of our events. I realize there is a lot of pressure from members that live close to the track...but as membership expands and reaches out farther into the N.E., some ovetures are going to have to be made to other venues. I agree that the venues are few and far between, but the seeming total lack of acceptance for any track but NHIS is a bit unusual.

Parks...I hope so, but I'm not optomistic. There is some strange reluctance to deal with any track other than NHIS. I bet if that other track opens we never have one of our races there. My best case scenario would be the club "relocating" to a new facility where the USCRA is the "anchor" motorcycle race club and receives the best dates and prices.

Jet will be there in person, along with the other Clever Dog, Fly. They will be administering a free kick to the testicles for all vistors.

PS. Is that new NJ track the "New Jersey Motorsports" track? Also known as Thunderbolt Raceway? Cause...although it does look promising....apparently they haven't even started construction yet. I thought there was one where the building had already started.

Another cold wet VC.
Boy who ever thought to move this whole affair to May was a freakin idiot. April and May it's raining every other day. I'm guessing NHIS did it because these are some of the dates that are harder to sell.

And before the NHIS locals pop off with "ohh riding in the rain is fun" screw you guys, you aren't driving 5 hours in the rain back and forth and sitting in the rain all day....you freakin schmoo's drive back home at night. When will we see your lame asses at a race track more than 1 hour from your house.

Once again...the only reason I am going to go is because I can't get my money back. Last time I tried it NHIS threatened to bar me from the track. Should have paid the extra at the gate instead of pre-register. Gonna cost me about $1,200 to sit in the rain and get in maybe 30 laps on the track.

But then again....I've seen weather like this predicted where it turns out pretty nice.... in which case.... forget all my bitchin.

Champ...how about you get my money refunded for the years I got screwed?

USCRA does it the right way....your check attached to your reggie sheet, if you don't show..they throw it out. NHIS cashes the checks as soon as they get them rather than wait and see who shows up.

But seriously...if you can get refunds...might want to let the club know that, cause it can takes months of trouble to get it back from NHIS. I'll spread the word...cause I know you'd do the same favor for other people you love as much as me.

I'm gonna go...just so I can bitch and moan if it's raining the whole time.

PS. TT, I hope you are right.

PSS. And I go to support the club of course...despite the hardship.

PSSS. TT...what the phuck does that freakin quote mean anyway? All them dang letters and such.

PSSS. Parks, I gotta be honest...smooth is not one of my riding characteristics....in my opinion. Balls to the wall is more my strong point.
