Forgot to mention, thats one lane only. Test & tune, no racing. Also 11 cars & up no charge for the ambulance.

[quote]1 car $750.00 plus ambulance at $60.00 with a three hour min. 10 cars $300.00 each + 1/10 the cost of the ambulance<hr></blockquote>

Hmmm....

1 car = $1,230 from 9am to 5pm
10 cars = $3,480 from 9am to 5pm

WTF?? Does it really matter how many cars run if the track is open for a certain amount of time? So, what is the difference between BeaSSt renting it alone and doing laps, vs 10 or more cars just running?

$300 each is a rip-off. If it was $100 per car with 10 cars, it would still come out a little higher than if 1 car rented it by themselves. They should just provide us a fixed rate and let us split that up with however many cars we want.

Tony, call them and talk to Gerald, maybe he is willing to do something like that. I just can't/won't do much more of this 5 hour 2 run crap.

You know getting 30 f-bodies would still equal VERY little time waiting in the lanes and short lnes. You will get in plenty of runs. Why not do that and get the price down?

I hear you Dave, I'm sick of HRP and all those damn piece of **** cars they allow thru tech that always bust and oil the track down. In the last three visits I spent a total of 14 hours in staging lanes and only got in 7 passes! Two of them I had to abort because there was some slippery **** on the track at the 1/8 mile.

So, even though I'm not going to race for about 3 months (since the motor is being built and this one is sold) I am not worried at all. Try changing the tires and prepping the car at the track, only getting in two lame aborted passes in 5 hours and having to reassemble the car if you want to see pissed. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

Raughammer, believe it or not that is our best track out here in San Antonio and like Loco said the right lane hooks better. If you would have gone to AlamoCrapWay you would have probably hit the wall.

Todd just put in a scale at the track but I do hope he improves the track preparation.

It would be nice if we could rent out RCR and flood it with VHT..

Thats pretty pricey.

We rented Grand Bend Motorplex, which is one of the best tracks up around here, we had 19 cars and it came to about 75 bux each for 5 hours.
