So I am going to need some help and also need some time to get some sh#! off my chest. I ran the Finger Lakes region "Fun One" at the Glen last year and felt that I got a little ripped off on track time as an open wheeler. I loved the event overall as there were national guys and regional guys running. All in all a great group. We had over 30 cars in our run group. But still, we got a 7 lap race on Saturday. We were schelduled for 10 but as usual, open wheel got screwed. Spec Miata ran their full race with multiple full course yellows though!!Kudo's to them!!
So here it is, time to sign up for the "Fun One". I Know a number of guys racing this year and am ready to do battle. BUT, As I see on the schedule, an 8 lap or 25 min race on Saturday with a 12 min qualifier, and on Sunday, (short track) a 12 min qualifier and a 12 lap race or 22 min time.
WTF!!!! should I say it again?? WTF!!!this is such a rip off!!! Of course, by now many of you reading this far have said, "just dont go and stop bitching". But is this what it is coming to? 0 time on tracks with a 4 hour tow? This is what the SCCA really is?
I just need some guidance I guess. Where can I race and get any decent track time?
How are Nationals? I know the F2000 series but just can't afford. Is there an organization that actually gives a rats ass about the guys who show up and pay to race?
Some one give me some help here. I want to go to the Glen for more than 20 laps of racing at a double event!!!!!!
Thanks.
Chris
