as has been shown in the past, we'll lose quite a few of the Knoxville crowd if we run at BMS (I'd love it .. an hr closer) .. but we had to cancel an event a few yrs ago because so many whined about having to travel that farTedV wrote:BMS is Bristol Motor Speedway.. Thunder Valley. We shouldn't have a problem with sound there.integra55 wrote:help me out ... what, where is BMS ... and can anyone get us back in at Walter State ... find out how we screwed up and try to undo it ?
Only way to get back with Walter State is if the coordinator there moves away and someone replaces him. Last event be said we trashed the bathrooms, paper was stuffed in the drains, basically poo-wrecked the bathrooms like highschool kids. However, several of the solo committee and board members did a walk thru and nothing was trashed. So, we either missed some secret bathroom, someone else snuck in and trashed the bathrooms, or he needed an excuse to not be bothered to rent the lot. If someone other than the one designated person called him he would get upset.
There are sites in the Peoples Repugnant of Californistan that it's rumored count tire squeal in the sound reading. That's one way to discourage over driving. Folks, shave them tires, they squeal less.

If BMS is as good as promised, that will help a bit.
...but having Pelli does a lot for our club because of location and because it is something of a social event.

Re: Test n Tune March 12th canceled
We won't add any more BMS events unless we loose a site and if we can't find another site that is closer, it would become our main site that we run at as it is better than not having a site to run at.

Re: Test n Tune March 12th canceled
so I'm guess that Bristol has come down on price significantly ... at one time the only way we could afford to run there was as a charity event .. the price was way out of our reach

Re: Test n Tune March 12th canceled
I managed to work out a deal that both sides agreed to. The good side to BMS now is that they paved the rough area and we can use all of the lot now without having to stay off of certain areas because it was too rough.

Re: Test n Tune March 12th canceled
great ... the more we run there the better it is for me LOL ... even if it's not so good for everyone else
plus you'll probably pull quite a few HSCC members ... Bristol was partly responsible for me joining ETR ... glad I did

Re: Test n Tune March 12th canceled
It's a good location for me, too, about 20 minutes from home. Too bad I'll miss the big one in May since I'll be out of the country.jcox07 wrote:I managed to work out a deal that both sides agreed to.

That's why you hit a lot , do right left and out. Pick your location.

If we can drive from central Ky , certainly the Knoxville folks can make the Long drive to Bristol.

It is East Tennessee Region right? lol I will drive 2hr and not complain one bit for good pavement. I even drive 2hr to Pilly which is to me not a great lot in my opinion but grateful for what we have!

Re: Test n Tune March 12th canceled
" any vacant parking lot can be used as a test an tune. However, one must choose wisely. You must find a place where you can quickly perform a few autocross maneuvers, then exit said lot before anyone calls officers of the law. Most important you leave said lot before the officers of the law arrive."integra55 wrote:oldmuscle69 wrote:That's why you hit a lot , do right left and out. Pick your location.
