F1-00 Racing

Guys be patient, I am sure the OPA will give us ample notice if this race is on or not. They already realize that it is only 2 months away and that the racers do have lives and jobs back home that if the race is to happen, the racers need to make the proper arrangements to be there. I agree with ya Dee, would love to race again in NJ, however just once would love to race there where the staff of OPA didnt have to pull teeth from the shore towns just to have it.

I would much rather have 5 strong races than 8 weak ones anyways and maybe the focus should be shifted to the towns that want us to come to their communities and make them stronger instead busting tail to be where they could care less...

ABSOLUTELY !
And I had always said it would be great to have a car show along with it to make it a full hi-performance weekend !

It just seems that C3 and Orion Music had all of their ducks in a row way ahead of time and just might have beat OPA to it... ???

That's why it is so necessary to plan events at the minimum of a year in advance...

I agree. But this Orion concert and the boat race I believe to have 2 completely different demographics.

The more and more I become involved, the more & more I see how hard it is to plan an boat race event. Just seems to be road blocks every where and in every town (site). I truly feel for site organizers.

DEMOGRAPHICS really doesn't matter when they are just trying to fill the rooms in the hotels.

Typically an organization would be able to get several comped rooms for its staff which is a huge benefit for an organization. If the hotels have no issue with selling out, then you won't see them comping anyone for anything adding the additional expense back to the organization.

Especially with the Casino earnings of late, it would be tough anyway for them to give up much....

Real problem lies with our government, every site gets the same story, they have no money for police, fire dept's. etc for O.T. to assist at race sites. But if someone who hasn't been on duty for 30 years kicks the bucket they bring out every piece of equipment short of a Sherman tank, close streets and make detours with no concern.
So when your at a site that has authorities that help make the events happen don't forget to thank them or vote for them when they run for re-election. And oh yeah don't vote for the ones that are only concerned with their vacations and pensions.
Probably shouldn't have said that but I did.

Maybe the local promoter should go talk to REVEL!!! Talk about money being spent. I really hope AC goes off. Such a great site.

TOASTY

very good idea DPT, you have the know how and the way with folks...could that person be you?

If it was me and I had an in it would already been done. I am not a gambler so I really have no ins in AC at all. I understand the Casino's are hurting but I would think they would try to bring events in to help the business but what do I know.

Lucididee

I've never been a gambler as well (I do that enough of that stuff on a daily basis). But here's a question to ponder ............ How many rooms do Casinos comp on a regular basis? I know A LOT of people that would never go to AC if it wasn't for the free rooms.

Most things are still hurtin' in this economy ... but ya gotta give a little to get something in return
