No offense but I do hope it gets rained out as I will be sailing in the North Atlantic and unable to attend.
Besides, the 4PM start time due to the Dodge day or whatever it is sucks.

I helped sponsor last years event, and when it was not a Huge turnout Javier was dissapointed, despite him putting more efforts into every other type of car day than the Nissans.I mean literally there were no flyers,no mention,nothing of the Z day last year, and yet about 80-100 Z showed up.
I personally have sent Javier Emails and phone calls since November about putting this event together and sponsoring it, but apparently he was to busy to return them and did not need our assistance in the event or our contributions. I highly doubt anyone will turn out for this event with the level of support and motivation the Z Nissan comunity has seen from Raceway Park...
They continue to push their Honda day, waterfest for the VW's, Mitsubishi days, AWD events,Subaru events, hell even the crappy Neons get their own day...With no mention for the Nissan guys...
I personally will be approaching another local race track to see if they wish to organize an event and take our money, cause apparently Raceway Park does not want our business as a community...

Well I look at it this way, we were rained out the frist time which is not the Tracks fault so they rescheduled it for the 22nd of July. which just so happedned to be the tracdk day for another group of people. so we can go or cry about it and they will never have Nissan/Infiniti day again.

I don't see any reason to be all pissed off that there are going to be other cars there...its not like we have some other option. Its still an oppotunity to get together a bunch of G's/Zs and get some good runs in. I'm surprised that everybody is backing out (aside from the ****ty weather) anyway if it doesnt rain I'll be there. If theres still anybody from Bergen county area that wants to caravan let me know, I'll be leaving from Teaneck w. a few other cars.

All u boyz whinning like girls reminds me if u give them an inch they wanna become rulers.
It is what it is. Keep in mind it is their track not ours. If they relied on just the Nissan/Infiniti communty they would go broke. We are a fraction of what the other badges represent there. It was nice of them to give up a half a day ( 7 hours ) in June just for us. Anyother tracks steppin up and offering something similar.... I hear crickets. It wasn't the track that made it rain that day. They didn't have to squeeze us in for another date that was planned months before the June date. They were doing what they could under the circumstances and all you whinners had to do was just roll with the punches.
If the situation doesn't meet your standards for tomorrow, stay home peeps, there will be more track time for the peeps that do attend. No one is forcing you to roll. Again, it is what it is and make the best of a situation that got messed up by the weather not by some one creating a problem.
MRC, tell it like it was. You did make contact with the track. You were told what you could and couldn't do for that day. If you weren't happy with the results of the conversation, so beit. Nough said on that subject.
Yes the weather will make it iffy again for tomorrow. Those that will roll.... great. Those that don't roll.... that's kewl too.

oo.
Lets get the fact straight..I planned last years event with Javier and was attempting to contact him since November of 05 before you even got involved in the mix...He chose to not return my phone calls, he chose to ignore my emails..He chose to contact me last minute and say it was too late to get us on any flyers cause his flyer guy was giving him problems, yet miraculously the Honda day and Evo day fliers turned out just fine and weeks before the event..Lets call it like we see it, the track could have done a better job promoting the original event in the first place.It was cool of them to rescedule the event and its all good..Im sure it it does not rain , everyone who goes will have a good time.
What I am saying is there is way more effort put in the other event than this one for some reason, whos fault is that? Who knows who cares..
I really dont think the Nissan community will make or break Raceway Park in any way shape or form...Life goes on, who cares, 70% chance of rain tommorow anyway..so all the *****in is for nothing anyway. The gods just dont favor the Nissan and Infiniti guys for some reason..
As for Javier, Im sure he does not need our help or anyones help for that matter..He has done a great job of putting together some big events all by himself...
