last time I went, I paid the fee to get in and watch, pulled into the parking lot, got out of my car, and then they closed the track and wouldn't return my money. It took us an hour and 15 minutes to get there from my house.

John H. was driving a brand new 997 Turbo also, guess he needed my money bad enough to make those payments.... I even sent that jack *** an email and *GASP* no response.

Hell I wont get kicked off! I dont even need to wear a helmet in my Camaro!! But atleast I would be able to make one pass Sealy didnt even let me do that!!

HRP kicks ***....Never had a problem with them and Never ever had to look for a cone for the finish line going 120mph and have plenty of time to pull out my cell and call buddies before hitting the end of the track where I have to turn off for the return lane...Unlike Sealy looking for a cone in the dark and having to slam the brakes on as soon!! as you pass that damn thing!!

You dont need a cage at HRP until 11.49 or faster.

I'd rather give my money to a track that appreciates its patrons, not one that talks down on them.

Thats just my 2 cents though...
