Bill would have her fired on the spot for turning away a customer. I don't know who she worked for. Being a total newbie to a CC event, I would have liked a little more assistance.

That being said, it's hard to believe the Baders not making it right. Contact them! Old, tired, and sometimes broke down. Me, not my car...

Now that Blankenship has gone bankrupt maybe someone with some business sense can get CC Events and make a decent show out of it. I went to 3 events after Blankenship bought the series and none were what I would call a fun experience. Racing and meeting new people were fun, getting in and trying to get payout money was not.

Dad and I were both were our blue shirts that have "WILD RACING" on the back. We arrived around 6ish. If you could describe what the people at the gate you talked to were wearing I should be able to tell you if it was a CCR or Norwalk personell.

Also ask them if it was a CC Events employee or a Norwalk employee, cause if it was a Norwalk employee, I would also contact the race track..I would also think the Baders would make it right for you too. Hope this helps....

This whole weekend took a HUGE amount of planning by both my husband and myself, and then to not even be able to unload the car...grrrr Anyone want to come out to Milan this Wednesday?.... cause I'm gonna go beat the crap out of my car just to make up for this weekend.

If they didn't have somebody to "manage" the gate entry, they made a big mistake. I have towed 8+hrs to race at that event and had a great time in the past. But I wouldn't even consider anything if that happened to me.
