How many people would show up on a Wednesday, the day Kevin suggested in the other thread?
Would there be enough people to be enough to put cash in someone's pocket to sit there all day?

Kevin(Track Manager) mentioned in his post that someone was attempting to use a power trip to gain access to the track on a day that an event was scheduled. This is the type of stuff that needs to be communicated to the locals. Basically, NEVER...NEVER...NEVER argue with a track official at any time. If for some odd reason there is a disagreement take it up with Roy personally at a later time.
Has anybody set-up a meeting yet

Re: organizing lakeland
on another note...........just stirring the pot a lil.........all these guys that claim "this is our track and our spot" (not sayin all locals, those who do u know who u are!) umm how come u dont list roy and or lakeland motorsports park as a sponsor? i mean uve listed alot of others and to be honest lakeland is prolly the biggest reason why u have been able to keep stunnin..............even more so than any crash cage !

Re: organizing lakeland
Yeah, I think Jimmy does disagree since he agrees 180%.
Good eye.
I don't disagree with the signature comment at all, never thought of that in the past thanks for the heads up.
Just to show you we have been thinking of how important this place is to the riders though I can show you a screen shot of the "credits" in the end of the latest video clip GSE Mike put together. It's in the bottom right of the screen. "Roy Spiker (lakeland drag)".
Thanks again.

Re: organizing lakeland
This the way roy sees it:
If he only allows riding on weekends, more riders will make it because thats the only time.
If only 2 riders show up, roy says "no big deal,". We'll try to workout weekdays but i also think it would be stupid to push roy for more.

Re: organizing lakeland
I'm thinking it's better to get together. Seeing there's a bunch of us that'd like to help, let's post a good time to meet!!!
I'm up for any time during the day this week or Friday & Saturday evening!
We can meet for a drink somewhere and bring some paper & a pen and get everything ready for a "meeting" with roy.
That way everyone is on the same page and the designated "lakeland rep" can bring the info to roy on how we can solve all the problems, etc...
I'll PM Jimmy my phone number and I'll keep checkin on here to see what time/day would be good for all, maybe have two meetings if we can't all make one.

great idea....same as with cleveland....only send 1 or 2 designated reps to speak with roy. take the initiative and set up a meeting NOW or this is gonna drag on and you'll be stuck with what 1 person wanted...

Re: organizing lakeland
WTF is wrong here . I TALKED TO ROY. SATURDAYS and no event sundays ONLY FOR NOW. $5 bucks a head.....What don't you understand about that.?
Where is the mis-communictaion?
If your putting pressure on Roy hes going to call the whole thing off.
can't you get off sat or sun.?
This is why: The incident thats started this whole mess happened during the week.....Think ABOUT IT FROM ROYS' VIEW.......We need to show him that we can handle weekends before asking him for more.
Also take into consideration that Roy has more important things to do than mess with this subject. He said he talked to his lawyer and was told just to stop.
WE ARE WALKING ON VERY THIN ICE. I'm asking very nicely "please let me and chris take care of it". We are in good terms with Roy Now.I don't want him to be pissed off on saturday because everybody couldn't agree. I swear I will KEEP EVERYONE IN CONSIDERATION. And when i talk to Roy, I'll ask him to throw a couple weekdays in the scheldule. Johnny and Jimmy, you 2 seem to be the most interested in weekedays. Im going to tell Roy how important a couple of weekdays are to you guys, and that YOU WILL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBLITY WHEN YOUR THERE.
How does that sound?
Thanks
mike
