I feel sorry for anybody having to do that. Can't imagine someone wanting people to shut their AC off (2:00 am, or whenever) and sweat, just because you don't have it better.

People's slide outs hanging over my side of the line don't bother me either. Still have room to get my race car in and out, walk around it, etc. maybe we should spend less time looking for something to offend us. Try to have a good time.

It seems easier to find negativity in everything than to just enjoy the day and the company . This is what is wrong about everything today.

X2 Mr Ed although I almost got had by one of the land mines at Silver Dollar. I was about to crawl under my car when I noticed a dog mine in my path, that probably would have even pissed me off even though I'm usually just happy to be at the races! Whatever had been left of it probably would have found its way back to the proper owner.
One of the upsides of usually being one of the last ones to get to the races is that you normally have plenty of room as the officials tend to not be as stingy with pit space once they see they're going to get everyone in!

So what will you do when the slide out don't give you enough room to get around your car?or You hit your head on them ? just wondering?

Never had that problem. Slide outs don't slide out all that far. You can make about anything a problem if you want to. Depends on your attitude.
I park my car next to my trailer. My neighbor's slide outs are on their motor home, not back next to my trailer and car.

Several years ago when actually pitted inside the Gatornationals I too had a similar experience with a pile of poop. Right next to my race car was such a foul smelling odor I was really ticked off that someone would allow their pet to do their duty and then not pick up afterwards. Much to my surprise I found the pile next to the rear area of the car, but it was not from an animal, it was human. Now that was down right disgusting and rude.

Some a$$hole needs a leash and a bag, they are giving dogs a bad rap.

After reading some complaints I would like to offer my apologies if I or my crew have kept anyone awake after hours. We usually are rather docile.

Ron, if that was the year me and Billy made the trek to the Gators I think that might have been Billy leaving you a present.

Bruce if you want to continue this self flagellation rant take it somewhere else.The topic is dog poop, not self pity.

Why complain about a noisy generator? This is the racetrack! Where people from all different budgets gather to make a whole lot of noise. Not a country club or retirement community. If you want peace and quiet, go to the Four Seasons.

Yesterday I forgot to put up the short stack for the genset. We are stacked in Pomona and are closer than if we are pitted. The genset self starts around sixish this morning, it runs a few minutes then I remember, no stack up. I get up and shut it off.
