When was the last time......

Rick Unterseh · 11-09-2011, 03:05 PM

With all the talk about increased $ costs and the bad service going on, I was wondering when was the last time you were thanked for coming out?

I've raced alot locally this year and only a few NHRA events, the ONLY time I was thanked was at the Vegas LODRS, and it was by the guy working security at the gate as I was leaving, not a NHRA employee. I've raced several tracks for the Summit Series, the Arizona State Championship Series, and another local series and wasn't thanked once for coming out and spending my money with them., except at the monthly meeting for the local series.

What tracks have it figured out? Thanked you for coming out? Make you feel welcomed? Want your business? Will you go to them again? We can park the cars, spend money elsewhere, but they just expect us to show up and not treat us like customers.... I would think now is the time that they (the tracks) would want to be extra nice. OK done ranting......

No Problem, Earlville, Norwalk, Bowling Green, Douglas WY
John Bandimere in the past, but something has gone wrong there, at least for SS

Joliet, Topeka, Dallas pretty cold...corporate stuff

Topper made life miserable back in the day, anywhere

Ron Brunet - Napierville Dragway

Does the parking, writes the $10,000 cheque, and thanks everyone over and over

Always at Cedar Falls...in the lanes and again at the gate when leaving. Brainerd is getting better.

Silver Dollar in reynolds GA is the friendliest on the div 2 schedule. They are always at the gate to get you parked until late in the evening and usually have a goodie bag for each rig comong in to the race. Orlando Speed World is usually very user friendly and supports the Southern Stock/ Super Stock Assn. I wish we still had the points race there before the Gators. Maybe now that the alchohol cars are not going to be at all of the points races they might have a points race there again.

Firebird Raceway in Boise ... been there a few times , and always get a personal Thank You from a member of the New family .. a true class act. These people know how to operate a track and run a race.
