What do you all think about after each race you all rank the race with a list of questions that are the same for each race you attend. That would give the promotors a chance to see how the fans and racers felt about the race site. The sanctioning body's could even do this over the fax line or even with e-mail. A space on the bottom for suggestions would be nice as well. Maybe promoters are missing things people want at a race site and just dont know it.

A hero type card with a detachable mail-in form might work, or include a questionnaire in the event programs.

This is an excellent idea. So good, here’s what I’ll do….I will have 10,000 business reply cards printed with standard questions to be passed out at each race. When cards are returned, I’ll compile the data and share the information with the race promoter. I’ll also post the compiled results of responses here on OSO.

The only thing needed is a distribution system for the questionnaires. Any volunteers?

I would be happy to help out. We have a race coming up September 25 at Cambridge. I always have lots of volunteers so I can put someone on it at the gate or on site (maybe at the beer concession ) Another option would be to collect them on site so the mail costs would go down and the chance of a return is better. Do a pick one for a prize type thing or something like that.

How refreashing, something constructive. MD, I'm proud of you. What happened? Ran out of beer?

I'm in. I'll make sure they get passed out at the Camden race.

How do they get turned in? Mail?? With postage included???

Ken and all,

Why not give a few to the teams at the driver's meetings/registration to hand out as folks approach us in the pits. Seems we're always talking to folks in the pits and I expect our crews can hand them out along the beaches as folks watch the race. Also, to tie in with the paying idea for bleachers, announcer and scoreboard, why not put the questionaire on the back of an entry ticket. I think the best way to collect them is have boxes at the pits or in common entry ways to the spectator area. We need to make it as convenient as possible to maximize our returns.

Just some ideas.

BTW...I'll volunteer our team to hand them out at any race we attend.

Dare we discuss what questions we should ask here?
