That a lot of people to control!! Our main problem was WORTHLESS OFFICERS (15 were on site) People will always talk about the bad and never about the good things that when on, there is good feed back also on HPT also

But anyways for Oct Madness we will not advertise as much and keep the crowd down, spectors will be parked on the circle track side eliminating the cruising and limit the beer being brought in, we are trying to get HPD officers in there instead of the worthless one we had. We do put up feed back threads and ask members there opinions and do something about it. We live and learn!! Things will get better just need to make changes

Sorry to the ones that didn't enjoy this, I for sure worked hard in it! And will do my best to improve it

We did listened to the feedback after October and ppl requested a return lane and ppl got what they wanted,Did we expect ppl to move the barriers?"NO" but things happen so off to the drawing board we go and make a new game plan.-Mario
I wasn't there, but I don't think people are upset at your planning boys. You've put in a lot of hard work, but you can't control 8500 people with 15 rent a cops. I doubt you are ever able to CONTROL the people. This is just the type of thing that happens when people get drunk around things they want to show off.

You boys put in a lot of hard work. We weren't really comparing the two. We know that our crowd is much smaller for one thing. Also, the general attitude of the two sites is completely different. I think the plans you have to move non racers elsewhere will cut down on some of the BS that happened and clean up your event a little. I'm like Zach though. If stuff like that continues, someone is going to get hurt or die... I wouldn't bring my friends or family to an event like that.
