No need to flip em a bird. I doubt anyone could imagine the times would be so close and as fast as they was. You do have a good point about the arm drop vs. the horn. If I had to guess John was droppin his arm when the horn sounded and whoever was keepin time was prolly goin by the horn. I dont know how big a problem they actually had with the time but if they did I bet the next event will have a better way of doin it. I can assure you Mark will do anything within reason to make his park better, all you got to do is talk to him. Im not tryin to piss you off or start some chit but when a park like this goes out of there way to make everyone happy you dont flip em off.

just my .02, if I over paid just keep the change

Both of you are correct. This seemed like a great Old School style drag racing again. Drop the arm and hammer down style racing unlike some other local comps. I'm sure the drivers couldn't hear a thing with their helmets on, so they watched the guy dropping his arms and then launched. He should have been the starter and the clock starts when the driver drops the hammer and not by the sound of the horn. Simple solution to a great comp. Keep it up Mark, got a good thing going on.

I agree with Greg. Mark and the guys at HPO are still learning a lot about all this. They have came a long way in a short time
There is nothing wrong with making a few suggestions. Try to do it tactfully and you'll get noticed

I had a great time Saturday and hopefully HPO will get more traffic on a regular basis.

Greg, I looked through all my videos and couldn't see anyone by your rig. Maybe everyone that videoed the race will look also

I was a competitor and couldn't hear the horn so went by the guy dropping his ARM but it was fine with me everybody else did the same as I did I just thank them for putting on the comp they will improve I'm sure they will improve but still had a great time

Ok, here is my suggestion for what it is worth and let it fly if you don't. Someone, somewhere, 1 hill- 2 buggies side by side- and drop of the arm and get it on. 2 men up, 1 man wins TIMES how many enter. I believe that HP has enough gullies to pull this off. [size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt]SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN [/size] [/size] [/size] [/size] [/size] :dblthumb:

I like IT!! :driving:

Next question, where and when?

Dwalk · Mar 23, 2011

HPO already has the hill cleared :driving:

They have one like this with two lanes with a couple trees separating them. That would be some good racing flashemifyougotem

tbacon38 · Mar 23, 2011

As long as there is separation it could get out of hand and dangerous if not but I'm game would be a lot of fun

Yes the new hill will be a great place for this to happen. But needs a few good weekends of beat down to make it a lil more intense!

The new hill aint much i have been up it many times, I have even been up it backwards. :spin:

Dwalk · Mar 23, 2011

I agree Mac, it aint hard, no obstacles, hell my 4 banger's been up it, They were wanting to Drag up a hill, that one should make a decent drag hill . They have another good one on the other side of the park thats a little tougher but not many spectaters can get to it without a 4x4
