Absolutely the worst run event I have attended. 75% of the announcers speakers were not working in the pits, not to mention the obnoxious DJ in the car show area drowning out the remaining 25% that did work. Flyer indicated Test and Tune would be run from 10:00 until 2:00. Didn't get called to the lanes for 1st t&t run until 1:00. Modern Street Hemi classes were the only focus of the day. All other racers were sidelined searching for information as to when and if their classes would ever be run. You didn't miss anything.

it used to be a great show years ago. it's definitely not what it used to be. They used to advertise the race. I forgot it was this weekend till Friday.

What a poorly run event, the ball got dropped everywhere. The problem started with theyre tractor had isssues that prepped the track and that put everything behind an hour or more. After that it seemed theyre only focus was on the New Gen Hemi shoot out which was as exciting as watching grass grow. They should have opened test and what was left of it to the tuners and people there for the bracket race so everyone could have gotten more than one pass before the bracket race started which I believe finally started around 3:30 or 4:00. I only see this event going in the crapper! Budd Creek Mopar event for now on.

I should have stayed home and finished up my chores. This event has been on a downward spiral for several years. So poorly run and frustrating that I'll never go back.

Its a crying shame, this event could be so much better but with the word getting out about unhappy racers and the way its managed I don't see it surviving. I will say that weather has been a factor in the past, and it was such a nice weekend other wise it could have been an awesome weekend.
