$160.00 trash bag

Had a wonderful trip to Paragon race track. Got 5 pit passes and a rain out. 150 in pit passes and $10.00 in change which the gentleman forgot to give back to dad and dad forgot to ask for. Busy writing his name and talking I guess and didn't realize until leaving the mud puddle. L.O.L. racing is funny like that you could say. And not counting the $100.00 plus in fuel for a hopeful $500.00. LOL can't wait to go back. Just wish they would of called it when they saw their muddy drives. And rain heading in on the radar. So when we do go back, not $260.00 invested but $360.00 plus. Makes about as much sense as pulling in the place with a a $90,000.00 rig and a $45,000.00 car. Gotta love cherry pickers. LOL. I'm not complaining just laughing at my own expense.
HIGH FIVE if you like this one everyone.
Oh and if your wondering about the trash bag, if you have never gone to the place, well they give you a trash bag to take care of your own trash, that way they don't have to pay someone to go around and clean up the pit's.

Let me get this right... You saw impending rain on the radar heading for the track and you still made the conscious decision to spend the money and go anyway?

... I don't think the track is the one to blame.

wanted to race it appears. driver was ready, dad was ready, Dau. was ready, helper was ready and the radar showed a gap in the weather headed that way. So we took the shot. That's the roll of the dice. But thanks for the response anyways. Your a pretty good guy, you know who to blame.

Sounds like a common sense approach to me, sometimes we forget our trash bag, and on a lot of ocassions, I've seen trailers pull out, and looked like they had been parked on a landfill. RIfs! Bob

Dave Dispaine was correct when he said "racing is the only place where the clowns pay to be IN the circus".
