Mustang vs. the World II (RECAP)
Alright, I understand lots of people were tired and frustrated, and some were even getting over a hangover. I need to say, what I have to say, and I hope not to offend anyone. That is not my intention...
This event had some major flaws. They were corrected fairly quickly but, really pissed off the racers and the Barona Track Officials. Some of you did not get to witness or may not have been aware of some of the A S S chewing that Tom and I received, and I will take that one as my fault. Sorry, Tom (PapaTom). Some of you may not care but, this is really getting to me because I care.
If, and I mean if, we are allowed to ever have another event at Barona again, I will not be racing and will be helping coordinate everything the day of the event. I will be the central point of contact for our Volunteers to answer all questions and provide guidance.... I am really sorry that I was not there to guide more of our Volunteers, and I realize they were only doing what they were told from many different aspects. Instead of being told from one source and getting many different inputs some wrong and some right.
Here are some of the issues/problems that accord:
After the Racers meeting, a line of registered applicants came to the Registration Booth. The Volunteers were only doing what they were told and what resources they had. They did not have all the proper information to answer some of the more technical questions about the classes.
All,
Last night Lines 5 and 6 were for Wicked Stangs Events only.
Lines 6 was made for the True Street Cars and Lines 5 was for the Open Comp some of this info also did not get passed down to the Volunteers. As, they were telling the racers different.
Next, all please pay attention to what is going on at the event. I understand a lot of you all want to also watch the event. That just doesn’t happen. Either you race or you go and be a spectator. There was an issue were traffic was backed up and some of you were not in your cars. So Don the owners had to go and police the traffic jams and sent cars all over the place. This really messed up the rotation and placement of the class you were supposed to be in. That is when the Volunteers came around and tried to correct the issues and it was really messing things up on the Racer's Box and delayed alot of Racing.
Danny (Subzero) sorry if I came across rudely that was not may intention just was wanting this to go without issues.
Now please use this Thread for Positive and Negative Feedback so that we can strive to make it better.. Yes this is only our 2nd time doing it. But, now the next one we will not have issues and should be considered experts. :beer:
Things I feel we need to start working on and soon is more on the advertising and sponsorship of trophies and such.

As far as how many spectator showed up.. That is still a mystery..
Lets just say there were more spectator there than any other event I have every been too.. I want to say there were more than the last Arm's Drop both sides of the track were full.. Don't know if it was for the Funny cars or Wicked Stangs Event.. Time will only tell....
