So when I'm on here and I see all the trashed talked on the track it gets to me.

    Most of the complaints are petty and are just something to here yourself b****. For example the stones, there a plenty of places to pit on a TNT where there isn't stones and you know the stones are there so if its that big a deal don't go and enough said. As for the way employees treat people I agree 100% and I already mentioned that to someone. If an employee treats you bad and drops F'bombs ask to talk to Michael Tedesco and talk to him about it. I'm sure he will take care of it and you might even get a free pass. What do you do if a waitress tells you to f*** off, you would ask to talk to a manager, right.

    I hope that for those that go this year have a better experience. I enjoy the place along with many others and I'm glad I don't have to travel more then 40 minutes to enjoy racing my car.

    Stones are no big deal to you?
    How bout if one got thrown up and hit your car?
    How about if one hit you in the eye?
    How bout if one hit a little kid in the eye?
    Not a big deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Balaska and Casper, I hope you guys are on the PRP payroll hardcore for the ferver in which you blindly defend that track and it's host of "professionals" running it. Somehow even though there are MANY people that post their dissatisfaction about the operation of PRP, you somehow still manage to find the gumption to tell us how we are all wrong and how wonderful the track is/ or will be. It sucked last year, the year before, and I'm sure it will suck this year and next. Peole are who they are, period. It's not going to change (unless the management / ownership) changes. Most of us have formed this opinion of that place over YEARS of going there. Can you just accept that a certain majority of us think it's a very substandard track and stop jumping in every thread about PRP telling us how everyone that doesn't like it is a crybaby. Please, it gets old.

    I was done with this thread. I wish I was on payroll. What can't I post on something that I believe or what I just have to agree with the majority. Sorry I have a backbone and I'll say what ever I feel needs to be said. I dont even really know Casper he just happens to feel the same way as does a lot of people.

    You want to talk about getting old. Ill tell you whats getting old. Its reading all the post about PRP on here when half of you don't know what you're talking about. So when I don't have to read your B.S. you wont have to read mine. I'm not making stuff up I'm just stating the facts.

    I was done with this also but I have to say bravo to Balaska for telling it like it is (as I do also). as to the rocks if your dumb enough to stand behind a car at any track doing a burn out you deserve to get hit with what ever comes off the tires IMO.

    So, I guess the stageing lanes where they are set up is our fault? Unless they changed them you were set up directly behind the water box.

    Just let it go guys, these two apparently just feel differently about the subject. 99% of us must be wrong, and these two (1%) must be right........

    HELLO! The staging lanes are DIRECTLY behind the burnout box for the street tire cars. A friend of mine had a rock hit his windshield and crack it. It's enough to make you pay attention for sure.

    Yes 99% of the guys on here but I'll bet not 99% of the people that go to PRP. On most of the things there is no right or wrong answer it is a matter of personal experiences. Unfortunately for most of the guys on here the experience isn't as good as mine or caspers so we will have to agree to disagree.

    I agree that the staging lane being behind the the burnout box is retarded and I have definitely seen stones go that far easily. Unfortunately, its been that way since keystone days. The good thing is at the end of this season that will be no longer. But I know PRP sucks and it doesn't improve.

    I agree with being down with this thread but I guarantee it will be back next year. It always is.

    PRP is not the only track like this. O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indy has the staging lanes directly behind the burnout box. E-Town in Jersey is the same way.

    I'm not making it next yr!

    I honestly didn't expect to get this kind of response. I've been pretty steady up there for TNT for the past 3 yrs...but it's apparant that many people who have been going much longer are fed up with various things much more than myself. I made the post as more of a rant than a complaint, since I stayed up late getting my car ready the night before.

    Shooting rocks at the front row of cars is retarded.....no one can argue that. I'm glad to hear that will be changed for next yr...for this yr i'll be sure to stay toward the back of the pack.


    That said....i hope the weather works out for this weekend....i'll be there Saturday for TnT....location wise, PRP is the only game in town for me.

    I'm hoping to be there too to get some new numbers. The part that sucks is the weather doesn't look good but its still early. Hope to see you there.
