TMR Show at the Penticton City Beach Cruise
A super great day for all who turned out to show the
thousands of spectators and auto buffs the other end of the spectrum
in the auto world, yes the drag racer and his ride. This was a first
for the Penticton City Beach Cruise foundation to allow drag
vehicles into the always popular car show, located on
the shores of Okanagan Lake in Penticton. The last car count I got
from Ken Paton, "the man in command" was a stunning 678 cars and
they were still trying signing in looking for that all elusive
parking space. The TMR group all arrived approx 6:30 /7:00 am and
were all set up on Power street, An off shoot of the main strip
being Lakeshore drive. Over the day many many posters schedules and
passes were given out to the uncountable number of interested
spectators. We had as many start ups as we pretty well wanted, but
the star of the day was Kerry Beebe's rail, when he fired it up the
crowds came running like bees to honey. After the show was winding
down 4 PM ish I talked to Ken and so far the general feeling was we
are welcome back for next years event, I mentioned I would
like to have more cars in attendance and his reply was bring em on,
but get entered earlier.

News Flash from Terry McHardy |
Dan Fletcher speaks (below) on
this thread about NHRA's price hikes http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=16951
I don't think I've ever been so offended by anything in my life.
Obviously, the fee increases won't stop anyone from racing, but it's
the principle of the matter. We're all struggling to just hang in
there and they raise the price to participate. And then offer some
BS excuse that doesn't even come close to making sense. And then
tell us how they're really still doing us a favor. Thank God we
aren't all drinking in a bar together. It could get rather ugly.
It's amazing. Their business, like most any other business, isn't
doing as well as they'd like in this economy. But why isn't it doing
as well? Because people, both racers and fans, don't have money to
spend. But it's like the friggin' government. They raise the costs
for those that are still there. How much more can the "taxpayers"
bear?
Believe me, Fletchburger understands fiscal responsibility. They
have us print our own tickets, we no longer get medals when we win,
they cut their payroll by 10%, they cut the amount of staff at
events and fuel prices are currently suppressed (bonus) But then to
raise the entry fee by 8% and DOUBLE other associated fees?
Our "payout" was already cut severely with the tremendous drop off
in contingency postings. Our cost was already raised when crew
member tickets went to $85 per event. If they want to have totally
pissed off customers, they certainly are off to a good start
I don't have any choice in the matter. They've got me over a barrel.
This is how I pay the bills and there aren't enough IHRA events for
me to make ends meet. Most all of you have a choice. But let me say
this...if everyone wants to collectively skip one event in protest
(allow me to suggest Indy), I'm in.
I don't know to whom I'll be writing a seething email to, but
someone will be getting one today.
And they don't even sell us a tangible product for Christ's sake!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
