orp really?
 

So far my experience tonight at orp sucks. I parked by the drag strip sand trap then walked in deep mud to the ticket booth where I paid 22 bucks for general admission. On top of all this I paid 5 bucks to park and then walk through mud! Orp sucks.

Oh, if I had the money, I'd be there. I'd be happy to walk thru the mud to see some great USAC racing. (It rained last night, in case you didn't know.) They charged $20 for just a sprint show a couple weeks ago. Tonight, you get an entire extra event for just $2! Some people are NEVER happy.

Might as well leave and make the misery complete :15:

They funneled the people down into a mud hole. So you're telling me raceway park doesn't have a piece of plywood? I'm here to watch great usac racing but come on orp take care of your patrons.

Re: orp really?
 

Anyone else having issues with the stream? Finally had something to watch at work.

i am too

Wish I was at ORP tonight, also hope the live streaming comes back up from ORP.

An if you think getting mud on your shoes is a bad day go on line to Doug's Dirt Diary.com click on Images and check out the tornado damage done to Can Am Speedway near La Fargeville, N. Y. yesterday. It is a safe bet they will not be racing Friday night.

I have to agree, today is absolutely awful. The sun rose this morning and God blessed me and allowed me to wake. Then I was blessed again and allowed to take my two youngest girls to a night at the races. Things only became worse when we had to walk through some puddles left over from the rains that had fallen after providing some moisture to the plants that we use to sustain ourselves. The best part of the rain is that it stopped in time for the track to dry and allow us to see the racing that we all love. Today is truly an awful day.
Yes this reply was written with some sarcasm.

Track just issued a apology to fans over parking and ground on pa system. What more can they do besides not have a race and have no complaints?

How about waiving 5 freakin buck parking fee so I can buy a 5 dollar soda! That was cool that they apologized so I'm happy now.

Great points! even cooler you can type all of this on a phone! I had two dirts track races planned for the weekend, and it's looking iffy.
Last time I was at ORP, I walked a lot. It's a big track! I also got a speeding ticket in Michigan on the way down! The last 50 laps got rained out. But it's the last time I got to see Charlie Bradberry (a late model racer) race, before he passed away. A weeknight race is a rare treat up here, something I look forward to, also I know to expect some oddities. I don't agree with the parking fee!

Re: orp really?
 

Gee, do you think they also read IOW posts and saw this one?

Parking fee is nothing new at ORP, they have been charging for parking back in the late 80's or early 90's for events.

So it costs $5 to park but you can take in a cooler with pop, beer, and food. Wow. Maybe you should get paid for showing up.
