we have had some lively discussions on these forums the last few months. Now here we are in the month of May and the track seems to be doing well in my eyes, but at the risk of stirring the pot lets see everyones opinions on Cid. Please if you havent been there dont bother .

Amen brother I am just sit tin back at lookin at all the NEGATIVE posts,It is completely a buzz kill.If the people complaining would only be on the other side of the wall,If you haven't ever promoted or been a track owner you have no clue what it takes to run a track,Racers are the first to criticize the management owners etc.If the track is not doing what YOU think they are supposed to be doing,Then that is fine keep IT TO YOURSELF ! Every racer in every type of motor sports wants it there way and IT CANT HAPPEN.I like to win just as much as the next guy but for all the money,"witch you will never race long enough to ever get back.And the aggravation which I can get at work all I want,I go for the fun and fellowship,life is to short to worry about the things that don't mean nothing.So as the "rubber burns" Its an expensive hobby people not a FU$%^N JOB !  |

If you dont voice your OPINION, nothing will change. A lot of opinions were voiced last season and there were some major changes made. |

I wouldn't mind racing just for fun one bit if the entry fees were $20. When tracks start charging me $50, $60 or $70+ for an entry fee is when I start caring about payouts. If they're going to stick it me at one end there better be a prize on the other. That being said, I think the payouts at CID could be a bit higher or entry fees a bit lower but then I realize that's easy to say from a racer's perspective. Hopefully car counts will go up and that can be addressed in the future but overall I'd say this year is going really great. In fact I'd like to congratulate the management of CID for turning the track around.

I agree to that a track manager should listen to racers re quest's.And a racers also needs to understand they are certain circumstances that Management is unable to control.Its all in how you approach each other "with respect".I am sorry if I "over reacted on my previously posts,I have been away from drag racing for 7 years and I am glad to come back I support Frank and CID completely
