speedweeks is here and why is there not a time schedule posted anywhere?
how much are pit passes or passes for the week?
this is the stuff that pisses people off.

For which track? I know NSS has had a schedule up on their new site for a few weeks at this point (if not longer). Here is the link: http://newsmyrnaspeedway.org/newbeta/?page_id=297
And for prices check out their page titled tickets. Last couple of nights are $30, the rest of the week is less expensive.
Wtf
I just came on here to post this, I’m glad you did…WTF??? Some of us have jobs and other obligations and need to know when we need to be there. Get your sh!t together and give us a schedule for practice times. I don’t know whether to get there at 8AM or 3PM, and I have a 2 hour drive so its sort of a big deal. The above link just brings you to who is racing on each night, we need a full practice schedule like we had last year. I might also add that none of the NSS people have been available by phone over the last week. What is your deal?
Whooooaaaa…easy there, Trigger…
I’m pretty sure every track (just about) has a Web site - and a phone number. KARNAC ain’t the only place to find info on who’s racing what where and when.
Not every track is going to post their track schedule and times on here (on KARNAC). You have to do some searching yourself:
New Smyrna Speedway: http://newsmyrnaspeedway.org/newbeta/
Ocala Speedway: http://www.ocalaspeedway.com/
East Bay Raceway Park: http://www.eastbayracewaypark.com/
Volusia County Speedway: http://www.volusiaspeedwaypark.net/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
Every one of those tracks’ Web sites has a “Contact Us” page with a phone number and a mailing address. The officials at the tracks don’t all get on KARNAC to see what race fans are complaining about and why they can’t get in touch with the track.
Get off of KARNAC, do some searching yourself. Took me all of five minutes to find all those tracks’ Web sites. If you knew you were going (to watch or participate), why wait until the day before Speedweeks starts to bitch about “what time I need to be there”? Why didn’t you look up this info like three weeks ago or earlier?

Noooo…the stuff you posted is the kind of stuff that pisses people off. Do some searching.
WTF!!?? Some of us have jobs and other obligations and need to know when we need to be there. Get your sh!t together and give us a schedule for practice times. I don’t know whether to get there at 8AM or 3PM, and I have a 2 hour drive so its sort of a big deal.
Again, not every track has an official that gets on KARNAC. Look at the tracks’ schedules, call 'em up, get in contact WITH THE TRACK(S) to find out the information. And if they don’t answer the phone, send 'em an e-mail, snail mail, whatever, if you want to get in touch with the track.
Bitchin’ about this stuff on KARNAC ain’t gonna get you the info you need.
I’m pretty sure that this week when all of speedweeks gets going it just slipped their minds (THE TRACKS I MEAN) to pick up the phone and personnally call him to let him know start and practice times after all the practice is FREE and we wouldn’t want to waste anyones precious time driving to practice. Like Jimmy said get off your soap box and looke it up the rest of us did.
After all it is sort of a big deal!!!
I guess you didn’t read what I wrote.
I did try calling several times over the last week, and I went on the website every day to check (over the course of the last two weeks) and there is no schedule for what time the gates open, what time racing starts, what time practice starts, etc. This kind of information should be available to the drivers.
I didn’t post on here to argue with people, I came on to find a schedule for speedweeks and in my opinion NSS should have it posted somewhere…thats all I have to say.
And again, gripin’ about in on here ain’t gonna get you anywhere. With all that’s going on at the tracks this week/month, someone’s got to be in the track’s office somewheres. Like I said, they ain’t gonna all sit behind a computer and read KARNAC.
Maybe you’ll get lucky, and someone’ll post what you need. Try getting in touch with Mark Keeler (VoiceofNSS on here), and see if he’s got any info for you. And again, there’s contact info on each of the tracks’ Web sites. If they don’t answer when you call…leave a voicemail with a call-back number…send an e-mail…
Why’d you wait so long to try and find out pertinent information like this if you knew you were going/racing, and it’s the day before the World Series starts? That’s what I don’t understand. Most everyone on here knows/knew what the times for practice/gates opening are before now…and like I said, maybe you’ll get lucky and someone’ll post it for ya…
The way I’ve always done it is get there as early as you can and plan on getting home really late!!

Jimmy, Trust me, NSS management knows every word that is said on here, I know from experience. Its to them to market their product and MANY people are on KARNAC daily. If I was selling a racing product it would darn sure be advertised here, I would not expect the public to “do some searching” to find out whats going on. Sure theyre busy, they better be, if they dont make it during Speed Weeks, they probably wont make it all yr.

I agree. The last timed I called track the machine said “Leave a message, we will call you back”. The ONLY return I ever received was back when Joe Lewindowski, I calle him and said i might want to sponsor something, other than that i never got a call back from anyone. You can bet your last dollar I return calls to my business. Maybe its differant now, I’m speaking a couple yrs ago.
Hey Tunafish,
I wasn’t calling out New Smyrna. I said “Not every track has an official on KARNAC”. Wasn’t relating specifically to just New Smyrna. The two guys that were originally asking for info didn’t specify what tracks they were looking for, so I posted links to the tracks that I know are running this week and next week.
The only official I can think of that comes on here from New Smyrna - once in a great while - is Mark, which is why I suggested they get in touch with him. He may - or may not - get back to them; I don’t know. I’ve never had to call a race track to find out. If I know what time the races start for Speedweeks (say, for example, 8:00pm), and I’m a participant, I’d get there around noon. If I’m a fan, I’d get there around 5:30-6:00.
NSS management knows every word that is said on here,
I highly doubt it. Again, Mark’s the only one I’ve seen on here on a regular basis (maybe Kim, but very rarely), but I wouldn’t consider Mark “management”. Employee, yes, but he doesn’t run the show.

Thanks for posting the times, I was just getting ready to post asking for the times. Heading out soon myself.
Jimmy, try to be funny, call me all the names you want, cry about my spelling etc. Etc. You’re in a fantasy world if you thing Mark is the only one that come on here “occasionally"from NSS. You point out “my point was"after the fact. For anyone that can’t figure out what " my” point was, like you. It is this, plain and simple. This forum and a few others are free advertising, and sir, if you ever ran a business, free advertising is the best advertising. it’s quite simple really, you make a post on here, hit “copy”, go to any other forum, hit “post” then copy, takes at least 3 min, hundreds see it. Look how Boney and a few others do it that way from here to the other side. Not only a convenience and service to customers, it’s free. But then again, convenience and service has fallen by the wayside in the last few yes, mmmmmm, wonder if that has anything to do with the economy? how many of you car owners need help? I’ve never seen anyone sayonhere they’re looking for help,sponsorship. Only seen maybe 2-3 cars say " sponsorship needed”. Folks, advertise to your fans.

I didn’t say Mark was the only official from New Smyrna; what I said was,

Mark’s the only one from New Smyrna I’VE SEEN on here on a regular basis. Wasn’t trying to be funny at all; just lettin’ them first two guys know that all they needed to do was go to New Smyrna’s Web site and look up the info, just like I did, and it took me all of about five minutes or less.
All this has nothing to do with the rest of your last post there, about “free advertising” or whatever you were rattlin’ on about. It had to do with finding the information needed before they headed to the track. Got nothing to do with “going to the other side” (I assume you’re referring to the Flagstand), because no one over there (that I saw) was asking for that same information that I posted (about the times).

Jimmy, you spell well but your comprehension is terrible. My point about advertising was plain and simple: NSS copying their schedule would take 5 mins. MAX and hundreds of people would see it. THAT does have a lot to do with the origional poster complaining there was nothing here about the schedule, its free advertising, do you understand now, Jimmy?
You havent “Seen” them on here? So you think you know everyones handle from NSS on here? I doubt it.
So the truth of the matter is you dont like me and I dont like you, we disagree all the time and its because you think you’re so much smarter than anyone/everyone else. Anythink I say you disagree with and twist it all around and i do the same in return. Have a nice day Mr Perfect.
