New pit rules over the top?

[tom77hmstd]

CCMP's new pit rules no water, no food, coolers searched, no cooking in pits.
It seems to me that they are trying to extort more money from the racers
than the are trying to put buts on the boards.
CCMP already charges more than every one else for entrys, pit pass, parking
ect.ect. And they change payoffs every race.
Don,t know what thier problems are but sqeezing every dollar out of the racers is not the answer.
Seems to me desoto tried this and went from 20-30 latemodel field to a 8-12
car field.

[straight up]

if everybody stuck together and just dont show up , they will get the message . the racers hold all the cards , not the track . just another track that doesnt care about the racer , just their profits .

What does

that George Bush billboard and Sunshine Speedway have in common. "Miss me yet!"

This is on CCMP's board. I don't think it is to unreasonable.

I aggree!

I don't think its unreasonable at all. If you saw some of the people drinking in the pits you'd understand. I for one wouldn't want to get on the track with a drunk or druggy. They said water and Gator aid or things like that is ok, but that they will be selling water and Ice this year. Bob..

[dave41]

new rules

greed is why i quit going to the races. now i sleep through nascar.

[Edm]

Not that I personally do it, but people that drink in the pits are going to find a way to do it. Search all you want, they will find a way.

Not allowing food in, thats BS! Are you guys Nazi's? Are you going to sick the Gestapo on me because I smuggled in a $1 double cheeseburger from McDonald's?
I won't deprive my team from water or soda. With the prices CCMP charges for entry, water should be free.

ATTENTION - ATTENTION - ATTENTION

Would the Security man from NSS (you know the one with the pepper spray) please report to the S/W corner of the Pits... it has been reported some people there have some chips and dip "IN THEIR PIT",

"You Have Been Warned", "Stand by for a "SPRAYIN".

BUT, if you or a member of your pit crew do happen to get pepper sprayed... we sell water here at the track - ice too!

Ain't dat just amazing!

[mr south 59]

I raced at NSS last week and it was $35 to get in the pits.

[Edm]

I raced at NSS last week and it was $35 to get in the pits.

That was only for speedweeks, its usually $25 to get in without a Fascar license and $20 with. To me, this is fair but still cannot afford to bring anyone else in every week.
