Its a private event that is VERY expensive to put on. If you don't want to go, then don't. Its not very complicated.

Were you invited BTW?

Not trying to tell anyone how to run it.

But why do that? When the guest spots easily sell now, and they don't have to worry about accommodating more people? Restrooms, food, etc… it all becomes more expensive with more people.

LOL, agreed on both accounts.

Derek means well, it's just his complete lack of experience in a lot of things tends to show at times. Anything racing related just isn't something he is experienced with at all.

Unfortunately, yes. Taking a lunch break. Once I finish up my stir fry I'll head back out there.

Really Steve, are you that cenial that you have to always try to work in some jab like that? Honestly, there was no need for that comment in this discussion.

Jesus Pogo Stickin Christ. Don't be so damn sensitive. It wasn't a jab. Will doesn't know you or your background. He is around hardcore racers all the time and you have next to no racing experience at all. You two come from different worlds when it comes to that. You can clearly see that I said you meant well with your suggestion. It wasn't a dig at you. Lighten the fuck up. Geez.

No sensitivity here. We are clearly talking about the event structure, not the actual racing at the event. That's why I called you out. This conversation I was having with Will doesn't pertain to actual racing at all. You do see that, right? So I don't see why it matters in this discussion about who has more racing experience than the other. Had you said I have no experience with this type of event, then I would completely agree with you.

Yes, Will, that's why it's called a joke. Just from the little bit I hung out with you at TI I can tell you're not that way.

I'll be sure to say something smartass to you on Sunday

And I get that. I was just looking at it from the outside in as someone that would definitely like to attend something like this, but cost being a factor.

Do they offer press badges? LOL I can take pictures.

Actually yes. I think the press thing is filled up, but its something to look into for sure. TI and RR media is always bad ass.
