Tracks and greedy power costs

Well it also gives all you people that live in crappy weather places a chance to get your winter fix. That is why Chuckwalla has a winter series every year, October through April. A lot of people come from out of state and even leave their trailers at Chuckwalla and fly back and forth.

 

I can also see a track like Homestead that probably has car and motorcycle events on track 300+ days a year (no idea, just a guess based on a few conversations I had down there) not having to charge for oxygen because they have a much longer season than a lot of the northeast tracks and the cost of business per day averages out lower.

 

Its not the tear-offs that bother me, its the posts on the shield in my peripheral that distract me.

But most importantly.

 

This left me floored after observing all the electric work done over the years there by AMF (any mudda fugga) Electric.

 

I mistakenly flew Spirit Airline. They actually charge you:
$45 to carry on a bag and $40 to check it.
$100 if you check the bag at the gate
$10 to print a boarding pass at the airport vs. printing at home
$1 to $50 for the seat assignment
$12 to $199 for the bigger seat in the front row

 

I can see where those folks would be so strapped for cash they need to save the hook-up fees.

 

No problem, I see today is R Acree I want to argue/bitch day!!!!

Cheers!!

 

The Surge Guard 40240 would be a comparable unit to the Progressive unit that I linked to. I have no idea which model is in the Death Star.

 

Boooyahh!!!

 

The issue with that is then people want to know where all their money is going. I just paid you 200 to get in...where does all that go? How is it broken down? YOU may not feel that way, but there are just as many out there that do.

On top of that...the people running the gate (especially over night) are often not the people who make the pricing decisions. And the gate folks are probably not told why the those fees are being imposed, so they make stuff up.

 

No matter what you do, someone is not going to be happy.

 

Was that the same weekend that someone rolled your pit vehicle???

 

What is funny is how those shitty "discount" airlines are doing a booming business because people do not bother to add up all of the extras and spend as much or more than they would flying one of the majors and having better flight options. All in the name of saving $50...

 

Oh the memories.
