@Kyle D - thanks for posting that, we had not seen anything about that here yet. I will contact Blake and figure out the refund, what a bummer
I already have my refund. I would imagine you'll be getting the same email soon with a refund email within 10min after that.

This sucks - - I don't like it one little bit!
-
guys and gals I poked him to see if they would give a reason or maybe reconsider.....
I did not want to hold on to this record this way... I am very bummed out.... I have been looking forward to this since the day i left Marion Indiana...
Here is the reply I recieved ...
-
I'm so pissed off right now!
-
There has to be other 1/2 mile tracks somewhere you would think.....
-
I wonder if insurance issues came up after what happened at the last event. I could see why insurance would go after "motorcycles" first
-
I received the same email..... it does suck, because now our rematch will have to be put off for quite awhile... I was counting on January, Now I guess it have to be Dallas at the event Kyle went to in June or July of this year, or the Indiana event you guys went to this year. I'm hoping I'll be doing Pikes Peak in Late June, early July, so who knows?

I think that is the most logical answer!
-

I suspect finding a place is the easy part, crew, safety equipment, insurance - - those are the harder parts.
I know that here in So Cal El Mirage dry lake is used for land speed events and I am sure it could be used, but the other issues might make it difficult or cost prohibitive
-
my real problem, is I got a two night hotel stay in Ocala, that I paid for with points.... so i guess I'm going to Ocala for the weekend whether I want to or not, no refund on the hotel!
-
I wonder how fast we could get the mini cooper to go with nitrous..... @Dave@DDMWorks, would you have an answer for that? What's the worse that could happen? The motor goes boom?! Hell, a new short block is only like $3400.00 bucks.
-
Wow... Sorry to hear guys... Was looking forward to seeing (and reading) the action...
But everything happens for a reason and the good Lord may be looking out for y'all... Ya never know!

I was sent the same thing. I’m pretty bummed about this and I think Blake’s response is shit to be honest. There’s obviously more to it than someone woke up and said hey I have an idea, let’s 86 all motorcycles and motorcycle classed vehicles going forward and everyone saying yeah that’s genius, let’s do it.
I have our events manager looking for another 1/2mi event hopefully yet this year. Otherwise the only events that come to mind where we can run is SpeedFest in Battle Creek MI and Indy Airstrip Attack in Marion IN. But at this point I don’t mind the distance to the event. I just wanna go fast.

Just got my refund also, @Kyle D are you still coming down for Deal's Gap?
I don’t know anything about that event. When and where is it? Is racing involved or is it a bunch of SS owners letting up for a ride?
