BIR Racer comity meeting Jan 7 2012 - Page 2

Minnesota must have a corrupt CDL drivers test I gather.

I have mine and usually don't want to sacrifice my trailer on the fishhouses at the gate after I pay my money. The turn is too tight for a tag trailer behind a motorhome. I know, my problem. I like my stuff without battle scars.

Guess I'll have to stay home until I learn how to drive.

Was trying to provide what bothered me. Sorry if I hampered your efforts.

Hi James
I expressed the issue & asked about using gate B and I gave the answer that I got on that topic.

As for the pro pit parking and power.
I did not get a chance to see that Kerby had asked.
That was my fault I am sorry.
I am trying to get some answers on that now.

I don't understand the "FISH HOUSE" deal my self.
I know it is a total pain in the *** to get in with a big rig like yours.

All I can do is try.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.

What about opening gate b for the racers with large rigs I'm sure one of the gate persons could jump on a golf cart and open it up. Ten mins. and problem solved now let's start correcting our Goverment problems I think it would be that simple

X2 on the turn James. To bad something as simple as that cant be changed. I have to be in the far right lane and only have 3 to 4 in on each side.I guess being a CDL holder and MN DOT Inspector doesnt make me a Pro Driver either. I will let you know what we all talked about Sat at the shop.

Jamie, I had the same problem with gitting my motorhome and trailer in, so I go straight over the bridge and take the 1st left to get in it makes it alot better. Hope this helps.

Here is some in-fo on the pro pad parking and power.
Thanks
Glen DeMenge

Glen, you can pass this along for me. For S/SS the price of racer entry
did not change from last year (or for that matter the last 4) The cost of
power went up $5.00 per day. However, and this is not on the price sheet
that you received at the meeting. We are going to give the people an
incentive to buy a pro pad spot for the season. The price on the sheet is
listed as $180 for a pro pad without power for the season and $360.00 with
power. We are going to change it to $150.00 and $300.00. This gives you
one race free if you buy for the season. S/SS will still just be a Sat race for the
2012 season.

Glen, is it the gate fee that went up from last year? Was $10.
