2023 entry fees for CCS?

From the post I was under the impression it was management making the criticism. If correct that is when it matters. If is some random poster that is no big deal. It would be like me making a criticism of a random racer. 0% reflection on Mongo (and likely others would rip on me in return)

 

FWIW, I understood it a little differently. It went from:

-$125 per class late fee no exceptions
-$125 one time late fee if you're already pre entered and are adding classes
-No late fee if you're pre entered for 5+ races and are adding more. (current)

While I have some heartburn with the way they do things, I'm also willing to let them learn and hopefully we have a good place to go racing eventually.

You have to give them some credit, they have modernized the process, made tech very quick and efficient, added qualifying, made everything available electronically, and revised the rule book to clean up the number of classes. Of course some people are upset- (I would be too if my bike got kicked out of a class).

They have also listened to feedback with the class structure and made rule changes quickly and accordingly. For example the debacle with the LW classes that would have accidentally let in the KTM 890. So I wish them luck. For selfish reasons mostly, as I have raced with them for 20 years and if they bail on FL I will have to drive 8 hours to the nearest track!

 

it was never "per class", was always an added item at the end of your cart when checking out

 

so it looks like they only had 32 racers at Roebling. i wonder if they're blaming the riders for that too.

 

Question for you FL racers and people in the know: how many different orgs or groups trying to run competing race series there now?

 

CCS only does Daytona. Not sure if they'll run Homestead early in 2024, but they're no longer doing Homestead after Daytona.

PanAm is the only series based in Florida, in my opinion.

 

Roebling has CCS last weekend, N2/WERA this weekend, and Pan American in June and August- That's a lot of racing at Roebling in the hottest part of the year.

CCS races Homestead 2x a year, possibly 3, and Pan American has 3 or so Homestead dates as well. PBIR is gone and Jennings is track day only. Daytona once a year in October.

 

Doesn’t Cook and his group also run races in Florida? I haven’t paid much attention but weren’t there a bunch of tiny orgs all trying to take slices of the tiny pie of fl racing?

 

Just my opinion... They tried to do too much at once, and from my understanding didn't keep much or any of the previous staff. I also think that they really botched their public relations, majorly, which put a bad taste in the racer's mouths. As we all know racing is an extremely expensive affair, so why the new owners are taking this "like it or leave" approach is beyond me.

 

once. they are now ending their season at Daytona. so Homestead will only be early season

 

So same as before........drops mic and grazes off.

 

They expect a business to be profitable but make decisions (and have responses to questions) that wind up reducing the profit. That is not "business minded", IMO.

 

anyone catch that Lisa took back the FB group? she's a rockstar!

That's right. Your group. My page." Lisa T.


Laughed my ass off reading her post, love ya Lisa, miss ya too.

 

Let's not forget how that whole deal started. I still have a chip on my shoulder about it, and it's why I never raced with them. Snakey.
