All you can do is accept what pit spot they give you,or stay home. If you really want a bad place to pit at a National Event,come up to Denver,where 90% of the Sportsman racers are pitted past the turnoff. It`s a mile and a quarter to the staging lanes,and that`s no exageration. It doesn`t matter what class you run,everyone is down there. It`s far enough away that you hear the ET of a Top Fuel car announced on the PA before you hear the car make the run. So,being pitted at past the finish line doesn`t sound so bad afterall.

I can understand the fact that pit space is limited in Seattle, but what really got me was the fact they parked 70 or so golf carts, and 5 EMPTY semi trailers in spots that could have been used for stock, super stock or any other racers for that matter. Those should have been parked where the stockers where instead, and when I asked about it the guy who's idea it was told me basically tough ****. I did manage to get a spot up by the pro stockers, (amazingly enough after I told me golf cart guy that that was B.S.). So my next question is, where were we going fishing?

Re: Pacific Raceway National Event Parking
 

we didnt have the grade points last year but watched in horror, at the fiasco that they called parking last year , with the pros now getting both sections of upper pits.
we have the grade points and are not going to waste them this year, but if things remain the same this year , then we will recam the car and put a real carb and intake on it and go where the racing is fun.
if the track puts in speakers that work, or ups the output on the radio, to hear the call to the lanes it might have been workable , but i dont expect either to happen .

Lane :

I hope all is well with you. by the way since Denver is at grade point 2 and there is only 7 Super Stockers and only 20 stockers to park in the dirt or where ever Denver parks us ,then maybe The Decisions makers need to rethink their parking situation. . I will never go back to denver to park where they put us i would rather go fishing . Now if the decision makers would park us where we should be parked i might go back to race there ,but i now can decide where ,and when ,and who treats us the best on the place to race or go fishing.

The time has come for the decision makers at race tracks needs to treat the sportsman as a huge profit center or deal with the lack of income ,we can always go fishing at this time and econimic times

In E-Town right now, Stockers are parked at finish line right hand side, sounds good? Staging lanes are on the lefthand side, 3/8 mile to crossover road behind tower, 1/4 mile on crossover road make a 180 degree turn in to lanes and 300 more feet up to the lanes. nice country drive. Ohh yeah all the spectators in the pro pits you have to go through.
