Just thought i would post on here the thoughts of many who attend KRP on July 18th for the supposed 7:30 pm to 11:30 pm Street Grudge Racing (Heads UP!!!!!). I spoke to many ppl on ls1tech, svtperformance, corvetteforum, ls1gto, etc who where very upset with the events of Saturday night.
Many spectators came to the 1320 to watch Heads up, Street legal car, Racing!! And instead had to watch the NAPA Quick Race, Bracket Cars, Racing. I think KRP has made a terrible mistake at the treatment of the Street Cars/spectators over the last few cruise nights and I think many would agree.
All the Street Cars ask for is One NIGHT a YEAR to run against each other, and what did all of us get but a 2 hr+ wait to make one pass. And to top it all off all Street Cars must start to the Side, out of the grove, so we dont ruin the Prep Job for the Quick Race guys (Who run everyother Saturday and Sunday).
Most of the Cars who did wait the 2 hrs to make one pass were so upset at the time spent in the staging lanes and watching the 16 or so Bracket Racing cars run all night they said to hell with it, gave up and left!!!!
I understand KRP can experience delays with Breakdowns, Crashes, weather, etc. and that they tried to make it right by keeping the track open late for the street cars to continue running. BUT, they got WAY to many irons in the fire for one day. And when theres 4 lanes of street cars almost back to the entrance waiting to make a pass, with the largest crowd to attend KRP. You would think someone would have realized what ppl were interested in.
PINKS doesnt do Bracket Racing, Wonder WhY????
i wouldnt expect near the turnout at KRP this year for next year after this display of putting the HEADS UP guys to the back!!!
