BIR Racer comity meeting Jan 7 2012
 

I will be attending the first Racer comity meeting for Brainerd Intl. Raceway,;
Brainerd, MN. Jan 7 2012

I would like your input on what you would like to see for the 2012 season
for our S/SS combos.
Input on here will help more than anything.

Now is the time if you have any suggestions, ideas, or would like to help with the S/SS combos.

Thank You
Glen DeMenge

You KNOW what my input is

Glen, I thought things went well last year. Thank you for your efforts as well as the Staff at BIR.
The couple of suggestions i have are.
1. since we run out our race on Saturday, could there be more effort in to getting our race rounds spaced out so it is not a round robbin after first or second round. Last year more than once they could have interupted there order to get first round done for us 1-2 hours earlier which would give a nicer pace to the event.
2.keep things at 1/4 mile.

We had a good time last year and we plan to be back with all three cars again this year!

Glen,

I agree with Todd.

The only comment I have is regarding time management. Does JJ's have to run during prime time? I think they are very important part of the program and developement for future racres, however why can't they run first out at 8:30 then used as a filler until the afternoon eliminations begin? Last year they ran 2 rounds of Jr's, 2 rounds of gamblers before we ran first round. Then we went to round robin as Todd stated.

Even if nothing changes, last year was an improvement. Tech time was realistic and no debates at the gate. Now we just need Ben to start the year with a negative 500 point deduction and we will be in good shape!

See ya in the spring,.

Tim, You forgot one thing, a lot of the bracket racers are not very happy either, its just not keeping 30 cry babies like us happy, what about 250-300 bracket racers. There is some work to be done

Glen,

Thanks for your help last year. Both Kari & I had a good experience each time we were there.

It would be nice if they could make some changes to the front gate to allow for an easier turn into the facility after paying. With the pay windows they have, it's a little tight to make the turn.

Thanks for taking the time again this year. We appreciate your efforts.

Saw on another post the costs are going up? Entry or Race? Glen, for me it doesnt do any good to say anything because the minute I do Im labeled ! A few of us are getting together at my shop Sat and see where we want to go this year. Im still waiting for my (Official Track Temp Gauge), as heard on the PA. P.S. James F., got your message, give you a call this weekend.

Re: BIR Racer comity meeting Jan 7 2012
 

Glen keep up the good work, i like the idea of a change at the gate as the turn
is a little tight and with a bigger rig its got to be really tight. The other idea of the
juniors running early and late is good also i would think they are quiet enough to
run early or after curfew not round after round in the middle of the day when we
are trying to get our whole program in on sat. Other than that things were pretty
good, looking forward to a fun 2012.

How about letting us in on Friday night and not having to pay the extra fee. I WILL NOT pay extra just because we come in on Friday to park. Also, how about having someone learn to sweep up at the line once in a while, I have never seen so many people on the line doing nothing. How is my scoop lettering going? Have fun at the committee meeting. Dyno

Dyno, The fri night fee is nothing, you could easily make that up in mooching food and beer. Come-on, think ahead a little.
