So where are all the NEETS drivers from LI????

[CJfilms]

Where has everyone been? I know that racing on dirt is much different than on asphalt, but the whole gang really misses everyone! I just hope that we can get a big crowd together for some of the later races this season!

Don't miss your chance ot race at Wall Stadium on July 11th! This will be the second of three races at Wall and the drivers who have raced the first one all said the same thing..."IT WAS THE MOST FUN THEY HAVE EVER HAD!!!!"

So, come on out, let's bring the whole family back together again!

Racing this Sunday at Grandview Speedway, start time is 2:30 PM...

Hope to see you there!

Hi Joe...
My guess is that most people dont have $400.00 to spend to race at grandview.. Between GAS, tolls, racing, pits..

[jimwhite]

I agree with bobby on the money issue i also think it is because there are not to many cars set upfor dirt there is a big differance in a dirt and asphalt car that run at the head As far as wall it has to many conflicting dates with riverheads sat shows will try to make one show later this year setting up a4 cly for dirt :cheers:

[EnduroFromDE]

most people dont have $400.00 to spend to race at grandview.. Between GAS, tolls, racing, pits..

I spend less then $200 that me and my dad spilt to go racing each race
car entry=50
pit entry=60(for me and dad)
gas=60(truck and car)
tolls=0(I take rt 100 up)
total=170
I live down in delaware so coming from LI there will be a few extra bucks for tolls and maybe a few extra for gas

BTW Joe I already started a topic like this about a week ago...same response

[W. J.]

Toll Verrazano Bridge for tow vehicle and trailer $20
Toll at Goethals or Outer Bridge to get home $12
Toll to get into Pa at Delaware River $3

Additional gas sitting in traffic $40

So NOW tell me how inexpensive it is to come from NY instead of Del.???

That's why you run the tolls with your ezpass. 85% of the time it misses the trailer:applause:

[Tracy87BB]

Bryan, the only problem is that when it DOESN'T miss...you get hit the additional toll PLUS an administrative fee! I now have a separate EZ-Pass to use when I have a trailer behind me. Learned the hard way...:disgusted

Really? Sometimes it gets it and charges correctly some times it doesnt, but In 3 years between the boat and race truck I've never had anything like that. Of course now that I've said that, I'm sure I'll see something in the mail soon ha ha.

[richardpetey]

It doesn't matter, going into or coming back, the trip through the TOLL CURTAIN ain't an EASY PASS......................:eek:
UNCLE PETEY................:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

[W. J.]

You can add $30 to the cost if you get caught trying to pull the trailer without the proper EZ Pass. There are sensors and cameras at every toll booth that photograph the license plate of the vehicle if it doesn't have the correct transponder. About 60 days later, you get the letter you wish you hadn't.

[nflobster]

the toll for my pickup and fifthwheel (dually and tri axle) is 48 veranzo and 24 each way outer bridge:disgusted gets pricey

OK, so you spend less then $200.00. What does that have to do with my post? My last Grandview race cost me $100.00 EACH WAY in fuel!.. nevermind the $80-100 bucks in tolls. $110 race & Pit. My response to your Quoting my post...Like Uncle Petey said, No EAZY PASS'N when it comes to the curtian!! :cheers:

[cerckl'm racing]

When R'head closes, it won't feel as expensive....

[RGeeProductions]

Great support there cerckl'm racing!!!!
Riverhead has just as much chance at closing as any other short track in the northeast!!!

[Golf Guy]

When R'head closes, it won't feel as expensive....

For father's day you should ask for some Tony Robbins positive support tapes...

[vsmidge68]

"For father's day you should ask for some Tony Robbins positive support tapes" LOL Good one...Riverhead is not closing..let's please not beat that dead horse..
As far as going away to race, I don't need to mention the economy. We used to favor going to Mountain because everyone there was so welcoming and that was before business started going downhill. I know for us even regular Sat. night racing away envelopes your whole weekend. Leaving early enough on Sat. am to get there (god forbid they decide to sweep the cross bronx which we've gotten stuck in), and sometimes getting home @ 4 in the morning really stinks. I for one have to work just about every Sunday morning @6. But even if I take off the day is about shot. Sleeping later and being tired really slows down the Sunday events. Not to mention things like finding a 2 night babysitter cuz we leave so early in the am and get home so late after, getting someone to come over and let my dog out and trying to do the normal weekend things like cleaning house, grocery shopping..blah..blah...blah. If you don't have kids or pets and no job to worry about then I say go for it. JMO. By the way the penalty for misusing the EZ pass is a little expensive..believe me I know. We got hit on our way to NC with our truck and enclosed trailer and it ended up costing me a total of $200.

[cerckl'm racing]

I didn't mean to infer that it WAS closing, nor do I want it closed. Just a poor way of getting my point across, I guess. My apologies...

Honestly, when I looked around last week (I KNOW the weather was crappy!) I was very concerned - without all the police-related people there, how many people actually paid to get into the stands? Between that and all the nonsense in the pits, I'm just...worried.

[RGeeProductions]

vsmidge68, no where did anyone say Riverhead was closing above.
Only a few replies were made to an unsupportive track comment made and that was addressed above also.

[cerckl'm racing]

Unsupportive? Me?

It was just a little sarcasm...I'm sorry!!

[cerckl'm racing]

Best wishes for the NEETS series. Nice to see them back strong with the multiple tracks, and hopefully we'll get a chance to catch some of their action this season - I'd really like to check out Enduros at Wall.

[CJfilms]

Back on topic indeed! Would be great to see everyone show up at the Wall Races....the only way to keep the racing alive at different speedways is by racing there!

The next Wall enduro is on July 11th...I know this is a conflict with the Grands, but there is no reason a TRUX or two cannot make it down for this event....and besides, our flagger, Matt Odwazny, has even said it takes about half the time to get to Wall as it does Grandview.....so, come on out!

We raced in front of a thousand fans in the stands last time....for that reason alone, don't you guys want to race with NEETS in front of huge fan counts?

Hope to see some LI drivers at Wall, send in your pre-registrations!!!!

[richardpetey]

Joe! It was more like thousands of FANS.................:applause:
Most I've seen for an enduro race in years.................:cool:
Its heartwarming to look up from victory lane into the stands and see that many people (cheering or booing, hehe) ................:D
Unlike Lapdance where you can barely hear that one guy clapping..........................:eek:
UNCLE PETEY.................:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

[CJfilms]

Very true Petey....

At Wall, there was not an empty seat in the house! If you have sponsors you know like exposure, THIS IS THE PLACE! If you want to get involved, contact me ASAP!

Either way, it is a great place to race, whether it be enduro or modified, and everyone had a blast at the last one....so come on out and give it a shot!

[W. J.]

Update on toll curtain: Verrazano toll rises today to $11 (for a car). Gotta help those MTA folks with their unlimited, drunken spending sprees!!

Hey, a good way to get LI driver's to participate would be to book a date at Riverhead. Then everyone who thinks that tolls are not a deterrent to racing could find out if it fits in THEIR budgets. Hmmm, just a thought.

[NJ Chick]

WJ, Why would Riverhead want NEETS there when they have their own enduros? Not saying it's an impossibility, but really?:rolleyes:

Also, we have gone to Riverhead many times, with our own car and of course with Uncle Petey. So tolls are certainly not a deterrent for us. We also go to Oswego NY every year to participate in the ROC weekend in the factory stock div. That's a four hour ride from our homes (Petey too) Is there a big payout? No. Are there tolls? Yes. Does it cost a lot in gas? Yes. Do we have to pay for a hotel room? Yes. Why do we go? Because the track is awesome and the racing and the people (other racers from all over and management) are great. No other explanation needed. So bottom line, if someone REALLY wants to race somewhere, it's not going to matter how much it costs to get there and participate. (Not even toll money:p) I would love to see Riverhead enduro drivers come to Wall and race with NEETS because it's a great track, the fans come out in droves and it's a chance to show off their skills in front of people who actually appreciate the divisions.(Plus I personally miss you all!:D)
However, if your hearts and wallets aren't truly into going, then by all means, stay home. You can read everything you missed about the races the next day on our forum!:lol:

[Buckshot11]

Ha lets be honest....wallets went out the window when we all decided to race. No one decides to get into racing because its cheap, no matter what division you're in. If tolls are you only deterrent to go racing then you don't love to race enough. I can understand driving 300 miles, paying tolls, gas, low payouts blah blah blah keeping you from going, but I've yet to see anyone at the track complain. Why? Cause they love it!:D

BTW...we're working on 4 trucks for Wall. I only say working cause we're down a tranny and a motor after this weekend. Don't know if there's enough time to get both trucks ready. If there is you better believe $11 isn't gonna stop us :applause:

If you cant make it to Wall, bring em on down to grandview, it would be nice to get a few trucks to run their own race:applause:

[Buckshot11]

Ill try, but i hear the trucks have problems in the dirt. Woot made it down earlier this year I believe and he had problems peeling right front tires of the rim. Still working on the asphalt setup, we dont know anything about dirt lol

[Erin C]

we tried the trucks at Grandview before...it is very hard on their equipment and the guys came down to help us out and to try it.

[NJ Chick]

That's awesome Bryan, hope your trucks are all good to go by the 11th!:cool:

I know some of you do run both the Grands and the trucks so you won't be able to make it to Wall that night, but how about the rest of you truckers? I would be barking at Tracy too, but I know she has work to do at Bethel!:p Also, how about you 4 cylinder drivers? Come on out and play!:)

Note to all: If you think you may attend, don't forget to pre-register so you can pick for a starting position!:wave:

[EnduroFromDE]

Was not aware of that...
maybe if thats the only issue preventing a good truck count, how about allowing them to run beadlocks of the RF or RR(if RWD)

[Erin C]

Steve, you also have to consider if you make changes how will it affect the legality of the truck/driver for Riverhead? A lot of these drivers do run for points at RH. The trucks are a great division, on Asphalt, but I think it is too harsh on dirt when they are being invited from other tracks...you need to build the truck specifically for dirt to make this work.

[Buckshot11]

Looks like we got 2.5 Trucks in for sure. Im calling out all the truckers who made it to Bethel. If you're not in the Grand race saturday load up that truck and lets go to NJ. If you are in the grand race find a driver and send him with your truck :applause: One other Top Shelf Trucker has offered up his truck as he cant make it so do the same if you cant come.

From bethelmotorspeedway.com

“Those enduro trucks are awesome. You need to get them here every week. I think I’m gonna build one!”

Lets show NJ what we can do:applause::applause::applause:

[CJfilms]

That's the spirit! Let's go out there and have fun! Wall is a very fast track and believe me, once you get out there you are going to want to stay out there! Just send in your pre-registrations and all will be good!

2.5 trucks??? I have 3/4 of a truck I could lend you!!! :lol::lol::lol: I have the other 1/4, just not installed!!!!

[310fig8]

Hey Joe, Sign up the 310 for the 8 cyl at Wall. I can't wait!!!!

[Erin C]

I sent it in an email to him so he doesn't miss it...thanks Bill!

[Buckshot11]

Got 4 in for sure:applause: 3 more working on it:help: Lets go Truckers!!:cheers:

[Erin C]

keep on sending those registrations so we can post them up...the more people on the list the more interest it gains.

[DerbyN8-128]

I might have to go watch the race at the Wall just to see the trux run :wave:

[spier racing 93]

I might have to go watch the race at the Wall just to see the trux run :wave:

want to car pool? haha:cheers:

[EnduroFromDE]

Im headed up too...I'll be in the pits, but carless...just relized my rear end is bent and Im short on tires/wheels. Dont get paid next until the 15th:*-(

[Buckshot11]

3 Trucks pre-reg'ed. I've heard 3 others are in too:wave:

[Erin C]

so far I have 5, if there are 3 more tell them to send me an email erinb@neetsracing.com as soon as they can so we can get the list updated. I would love to see a nice field of trucks! :)

[Buckshot11]

1 of them was Cozza, who has already pre-reg'd. I've sent msg's to the other 2.

[Erin C]

Thank you :)
