Default I Hate Osw!!!

osw needs to change somethings...

tonight i got there at roughly 7pm and didnt ever get a chance to run. they need to actually check the vehicles and make sure there safe to make it down the track and actually be able to make it down the track.

i waited 3hrs and finally had to leave because i had work in the morning.

i asked for a refune because all i did was stand around and i kid you not my car moved 20 feet the whole night. they said no because they dont give refunds unless it rains what BS!

to any of you that went hopefully you actually got a run it was a little rediculous

Man, OSW is all about the MIGHTY dollar, the women at the front are well trained profressionals, I pulled in there one time right before it rained. pulled through the gate into the pits and started raining and I'm not talking sprinkels, I was in there a whole 10mins, I asked for a refund they said it was past the 930 cut off time, I asked then why the hell did you let me in, it was just bullshit,

This was a bad night for OSW, there was what 5 or 6 cars that blew up on the track. You don`t see that many cars brake at other tracks. It seems all the piece of **** cars have to run in Orlando and then none of the jackass drivers can pull over and stop, they drive all the way down the track and leak oil all the way. This was the worst I`ve seen it in awile, just too many people.

I'd much rather wait a little longer in tech if it means that the cars that are running that night will actually be able to make it all the way down the track. I haven't had experience at OSW before, but I'll just tack this one onto the other horror stories I've heard about it.

the problem is all those little rice and bean cans that make all that noise and then can't make it down the track. the funny thing is that 99% of them get trailered in,start up,burn out, and then break before they get 1 run in.those little crap imports should pay more for all the clean ups.

They need to seperate import/fwd nights with domestic/rwd nights!

Wheres all that money going anyway?

Can't they do any upgrading around there....

I needed power for my camcorder one night and an electrical outlet was nowhere to be found.

Really though..... 10 to watch 15 to run. They must be able to get some accessible power out there with all that money coming in. Is their overhead really that high?

OSW has to be making a ton of money there for all the people they put through there but they dont put hardly any of into the track. it seems the more i go there the less runs i get and i end up watching more then racing cause i dont want to get stuck in the line. hopefully at some point they will catch on that they need to change something.

This is probably not a very popular opinion, but I think they don't charge enough to run. If the price went up a lot less people would show up. Besides I was paying more to run at a worse track fifteen years ago. I would gladly pay double if only half the cars were there.

The best answer would be to ban anything with frontwheel drive or a rotary engine. My enjoyment factor would increase dramaticly.
