u know how much times i could go see breaking dawn part 1 in globe with $80? BUH WHA DE MUH....

[cornfused]

I like that they give prize money allocations now ,I never thought that the prize money should equate to the expenditure on racing , however if one were to win or win often it can more than offset some of the costs associated with racing.

Long overdue for racing on the whole and drag racing in TnT.

Well done TTASA

[Dragsta]

$80 >>> WTFFFF seriously?.... is it really gonna be worth that? as first time, dey coulda charge at least $50/60 self

[pete]

Especially with the weather the way it's been for the past few days and what the forecast is looking like for the next few more..

[drlancer]

somehow ttasa forgot to mention how many passes would be given to competitors ......for vehicles as well as persons??????

[SR]

[adesh_starz]

[wagonrunner]

[drlancer]

like allyuh so tusty to race u forget that you normally get 4/5 pit passes when you register? or is it the new ttasa modius operandi that they will not give any pit passes......thereby making as much money as they possibly can!!!!! i mean $80 for the public to enter????? on a first event on a track that not having any sub 10 secs cars?????? on a track that many knowledgeable racers have serious concerns about the condition of the racing surface?????? on a track that cannot have track-bite on the entire length????? well if thats what you are willing to accept......go ahead and support ttasa in doing what they have been doing since the days of Wallerfield.......take yuh money

[turbonator]

I wonder if it will be like the last few drag racing events held there? $80 to stand in the mud in a cane field or will the place be prepared properly for spectators?

This was one of the questions I asked Link about a week ago and he failed to answer it

goodnight every one.

I attended the briefing meeting tonight in Chaguanas and I am concerned about the way ttasa is handling things, mainly the track conditions. No testing and no traction compound? If I am to pay for fia license, should I not be afforded an fia facility to race at? Why force me to comply and ttasa are not complying?

We are now being told that Camden will not be available for racing in 2012 according to some people at the meeting. Are we then paying membership fees and FIA license fees just for one month? The money is not the problem for me, it is the principle. If it is a donation you want say so.

[bOOsTmaN]

$80?????????? to park outside and risk my intercooler being stolen... IDONTTHINKSO


ARC FTW!

why do you need 4-5 pit passes for a street car?

Exactly MY issue with TTASA this happened when I WAS into legal drag racing in 2004 and I HAD to pay for a BS fia license to race at wallerfield ONCE with it. At which point I knew what TTASA were all about and have since NEVER been a part of any promotion or event hosted by TTASA.
