Surely highly knowledgeable and experienced persons like yourself can assist them to ensure the event is safe and properly run. You should call them to assist instead of hoping. A lot of other drag racing people arefiveforward wrote:Night event up wallers huh, this should be interesting. I sincerely hope they revise their policy with regards to certain issues that have been made mention of especially considering what has happened in previous events.
Especially with it being FIA sanctioned, TTASA endorsed and TTMPL hosted nah - Wait....lemme check....aren't those 3 the same people

But while I appreciate your hand to sing kumbayah and eat crix; I'd rather suck on the ripe oozing abscess from the anal cavity of a masturbating goat while in space on top the moon's scrotum than support this presently redundant and recalcitrant incarnation of TTASA (NGB) er sorry, TTMPL er sorry FIA rep, er sorry Circuit Association - so many hats i lost count.

Are the racers artistes/performers? or are they competitors?4kin4kar wrote:$700.00 to race for a trophy? No money? No fuel? Nothing? The racing money should at least go to the racers who make this event possible. The organisers are making money and not giving back to the sport. I personally will be boycotting.
Which track and specify the development exactly and what discipline does it relate to? Because what you are saying is rather peculiar; it almost seems as if drags is arbitrarily being used - wait - let me not cast aspersions as that isn't my intention.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote: Money collected from competitors, sponsors and spectators is used towards the building and development of the track and facility
Isn't that sponsored and how much more trackbite. So what was happening before as it relates to consistency in track prep, was there less being applied? And since it's a night event LESS trackbite is needed due to the ambient temperatures.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote: More trackbite is being applied

Considering who's involved and what was just stated, why yes - yes it does. But let me not put a damper on this event as that isn't my intention as I also want to come out and race.

I want to respectfully stop you right there; this is not NHRA and NHRA is NOT the industry standard for drag racing especially for imports; which is what we race here in Trinidad. Also you don't have to be an NHRA member to drag race; there is a huge grassroots scene where you pay as little as $40US depending on track and event.link wrote:well....if u look at NHRA membership/license fees @ usd450 or thereabouts (more than ttd2500), then throw in entry fees, etc to actually race.............
Cheap is relative to your pocket sir and there are some people where the entry fee to race is an actual barrier to participation. Also by that same analogy you could say that all sporting disciplines have it "cheap". Why single out drag racing only. BTW are you a drag racer or ever participate in the sport by chance.link wrote:T&T drag racers have it cheap
Obviously you don't interact with too much drag racers because if you did I don't think you would say this. It's unfair to brand drag racers as this lawless bunch and doesn't the same thing happen in other fields especially where administration is questionable? BTW is there a single recognized administrative body for drag racing only or is it a free for all like the good old days.link wrote:That being said....ALL 'dem' drag men have axe to grind with admin, other members, rules...u name it...........BUT U DON'T HEAR A SINGLE ONE CRYING 'ME EH LIKE WHO RUNNIN' THE SHOW, SO I EH RACING..'..as the saying goes."only in T&T'.........
in an ideal world I would agree with you BUT currently there is much more to the sport than this and unless you are a drag racer odds are you wouldn't understand.link wrote:racing & motor sports is COMPETITION, SPORTSMANSHIP, HONOUR.......
very easy to say and so true, but in the present administration climate it's not as simple as that.link wrote:get out there & race...........

Unless this here is a dictatorship it's called freedom of speech and the onus is upon vested parties to prove otherwise. Like I tell writers in training; I may not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it. I have been accused of many things as you yourself would have during your lifetime - did you deal with it by telling people "Aye, doh say that!" or did you flip the script to win people over. BTW I don't get into other people battles and I didn't recall you asking me what my main concern was thereby making your statement an assumption.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote: Anyway the money seems to be the main topic in your posts in this thread and don't get me wrong, I am a proponent of accountability but instead of paint with a broad brush, hold a grudge and complain
Good for you, keep up the good work. Karting in addition to other clubs need the support and anything to encourage youth development and structure in motorsport I am all for.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:I paid the for ambulance the last couple of events and I paid for some of the trophies and I pay to help sponsor the events in any way I can. And I'd do this for any club, just today I confirmed that TriniTuner will buy trophies for the Rotax International class for the TTKA 2015 EOY karting championship.
Trust me, you haven't heard me complain - I can. But in the better interest of alot of people I am consciously choosing to dress back - that's my choice. Whether I or anybody else complains motorsport will move forward, so there is no need to beat up, in addition to which motorsport seems to be in VERY capable hands. However if somebody is complaining doesn't that mean that there is some level of agitation somewhere that may need to be addressed, that is basic customer service. For professionals, legitimate complaints are a blessing once it is accepted and approached in the right manner providing of course people are viewed as customers. If they are not then that's unfortunate.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:Because we all want to see motorsport go forward, but that is not going to happen if we just sit and complain.
fiveforward wrote:Here is a thought; rather than focus on moi which I find ridiculous really
By that subtle inference you quite rightly and cleverly drew a parallel that implies based on the account ownership that Chris is myself or we are one in the same. Not denying that this is my account and I am Linzi, I'm just saying that more than one person uses it from time to time with my consent, that shouldn't really be confusing. I can't be the ONLY one on tuner who does that.Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:wha? Linzi changed his name to Chris?
Yes you did, but I was beginning to see this thing going down a particular road; not that I had a problem with it just though as the account holder I would be better to nip it in the bud early, don't want you or another folks to get more confused; that can lead to wild accusations by some people who seem to know just as much as you. .Duane 3NE 2NR wrote:But I directed the questions to what Chris posted, not sure why Chris didn't reply.
