    Default And here I thought....

    That Snore was a good organization. That has just changed with finding out that they only honor the champions and could care less about the top 3, nor is there a end of the year pay-off. Between that and the half marked courses my decision for where to race in 2013 has been made, and well its not here.

    Where I get my info from?? I was at the Mint 400, hardly any markings just enough for the fast guys to burn the corse in for the slower ones. Plaster I think I saw maybe 1 mile marker and that was it. Ridgecrest just as bad as the others. I mean the only courses that were marked well were the short corse ones that snore wants to turn to.

    I come from racing in District 37 on a bike and BITD, both of which have way better corse markings than snore and they also honor the top 3 at the year end points and I believe SCORE does too. When I took second Ironman on a bike in BITD that is a sportsman's class I was honored for what I had accomplished and awarded with a trophy. I am with you about not honoring everyone just the ones that accomplished something like the top 3 in each class. Getting top 20 overall is nothing. Look at my team, we took second in 7s and get nothing more than the true grit deal, but yet the top 5 1-2/1600 cars get recognition since they made top 20. We even placed overall higher than the class 8 winner and the HM winner and yet my team gets nothing for our hard work. I just think its wrong and not the way racing is. After racing all season with snore I am not impressed at all and will not be back ever again. Hell the only bonus class are buggies and no one wants to sponsor a truck that runs in snore. I was told by several companies that if I was racing BITD or SCORE that I would have gotten something but because I was here that I would get nothing. snore's biggest races next year are bap, the midnight and ratr. No more Mint and hell 2 of the races snore is not putting on they joined with other organizations. I agree with the people that were on the old board about this organization wanting to keep it small and only close tight knit group of people to race with. I was impressed at the beginning of the year but now I wished I could have gone and raced somewhere else. I feel that I have wasted thousands of dollars for nothing racing here and would have preferred to spend more in entry fee and everything else with BITD where I know there is something to earn at the end of the year if you do well.

    I will not be back. In late next year, 2013 and the rest of my racing years I will be racing BITD. I knew it was a bad idea to leave there.

    Mr Starr I was looking at this past years race results and I can't see what your complaint is . Your finishes were less than stellar with 4 DNF's , 3 last place finishes and you didn't even complete one lap at RAGE . Do you really think you need a ribbon like in elementary school for just showing up the most ? I can appreciate your team getting the truck ready to race but bitching about not being recognized for 4 DNFs is crazy .
