WHY DRAGS ENTRY SOOO HIGH!!!

[Invisible]

it is madness......i cant pay $80 to see racing with no proper stands of food and drinks......this is crap?.....why so much ppl supporting it?

Boss...1st off it's legal...so yuh doh have to be waitin on the police to move to see a couple of cars pull. De problem with trinis is dey always want this and want that...but doh want to pay for it.

2ndly it safer than in the streets...

3rdly equipment rental eh cheap. Officials have to be paid, lights, PARC disposals, Timing equip. etc.

4thly If yuh doh want to pay de price do what your Ministers tell you to do...exercise your choice.

^^^ D mentality of u people never ceases to amaze me yes....no matter how much they jack up prices u guys would always find some reasoning behind it. Its like Movietowne and there ridiculous prices but yet people still go, at some point in time u guys have to wake up and see that u guys are getting robbed plane and simple..from paying 400-600 to go to an all inclusive fete just to say "oh i went there" has got to stop. Pls people WAKE UP and realize that the citizens have a direct effect on prices. If everyone refuses to go movietown or drags or whatever, you really think they would keep the prices so high? think about that.

[Invisible]

I doh drink, I doh go all inclusive fetes and I doh go in them "daycare" nightclubs it have. According to what you saying is I shouldn't pay to do the things I enjoy because you find that that price too high after your "expenses".

Alcohol going up almost every year...nobody saying doh buy rum. Gas up nobody saying doh buy gas, bread/flour/rice going up nobody saying doh buy dem thing.

To paraphrase you"Pls people WAKE UP and realize that the citizens have a direct effect on prices. If everyone refuses to (go movietown or drags) buy these things or whatever, you really think they would keep the prices so high? think about that. Neutral Neutral Neutral

[TriniVdub]

^^ and exactly how much those sponsors covering?? i'm pretty sure its more than 75% of the expenses incurred.

[southside crew]

Had the government given us a raceway... most of these would not have to be paid.. ( lights, toilet,stands,rds,racelights,etc) but the place has nothing and when you set these things up next day it hadda come down think bout labour!

TriniVdub I'm not bashing you ... jus tryin to show the reality...

To the guys who think that $80-$100 is too much to spend.

Can you comprehend that "Speed Promotion Ltd is a private company who invest in the sport" to make a profit? It's like you own ah store...would you sell everything at cost price? No. You want to make a profit.

If I had the hookup I would have done the same.

You are the same people who always yappin about we want a track...de only place it have to race is the streets so is dey we go race. Yuh get one now.....and it eh free.

If it's too much to spend it's no problem...drags would go on without you.

Nothing personal...Doh gripe when it's a step in the right direction.

It wouldnt have been a problem if it was a proper drag strip "something like what the states have" with adequate barriers etc, secure parking. But its not, instead we force to used an unlevel strip with bush and bumps all over d dam place. Not to mention d drive to getinto there.
But instead of taking d money to invest into a proper track everyone just studying how to fill there pockets.

I agree with the people who is complaining, because its been years upon years the race club been making money and times have gone by and we do not even have a proper stand much less for a proper track with the proper parking facilities etc.....It's about time they spent the money and buy the materials if they have too, and build the proper track, stands cafeteria etc etc....they can do it, they just need to get up and get to work they have the money.....

[southside crew]

^^ we NEED a race track first....

[4kin4kar]

so southside what we racin in rite now?.............yuh bedroom?

[southside crew]

Padna..before you reach in men bedroom etc.... I want you to go Camden AIR STRIP (not *RACETRACK*) after october 2008 . and ask when next it having drags... they would tell you gone form here...allyuh time up!!!

we don't have any racetrack that we can say is our's... this is just another fix to the problem of wanting a race track from last yr.... so take it easy...
