Hello Copperstate Mustang Club,
I just got home after talking to a good friend who I happend to run into in town. He drive a dragster, and we got talking about his events that he is planning to go to. He was telling me that he got a phone call yesterday from someone in the valley inviting him to run his car for show Friday the 23rd of October. He said that the weekend of 23rd, 24th, 25th, was another "funny car" show at Firebird Raceway. Is it going to be like last year with the long lines and terrible waiting? We were there over 4 hours on Friday evening, and we only got to run our cars 2 times due to the lines and waiting.
Please don't get me wrong here, for what it is - is what it is. But speaking for our club members, we don't want to drive all the way to Firebird from Payson just to run our car a couple of times on the track.
Again, I am not wanting to complain or cause a tiff here, I just wanted to know if this is going to be a possible replay of last year's Firebird activity.
Firebird can do as they please, for it is their business and they are out to make a living just like the rest of us, so we have absolutely no problem with it if they plan to do the same thing. We just don't want to come down for the very limited play. We can always do another time. BUT, if I heard wrong, and things are going to be better this year, you can bet we will definitely come down and join in on the fun. We will be there Saturday for the Show, and we are looking forward to the fun, and being able to meet your members.
Please, I apologize in advance in the event this posting causes any flames. For my intentions are soley for informtion and not complaining.
Thank you,
Keith Orr
