The last track rental I went to up there at Fontana, I have to say I was not impressed with the amount of passes I got in. They signed up 100-150 cars, and they took forever to clean up a few oil downs. I think they were even training personel that day on how to clean and prep the track. Anyway, I was not impressed. Still too much wait. It felt like I was at Disneyland.
At Barona, if I get in the lanes and wait longer than 20-30 minutes for the pass, that's unordinary.
If Barona gets 80 cars in the pits on a race day, that's a good day for them. Half the time it's more around 40 to 50 cars. There's no rush to get your car in line and wait. Kick back in the pits, when you're ready for your next pass, get in line. They run the lanes through quick.
My gosh. I went with a friend to Irwindale once and couldn't believe the zoo. Holy cow. Wanding people going into the stands. I had to explain to the person that I was from San Diego. They just said "Oh" and waved me through. :biggrin: It took forever for my friend to work up through the staging lanes. You guys can keep that. And heck, I'd probably run out of fuel on that return road.
