I was NOT there but I have a question. Were there a bunch of drunk people doing burnouts all over town last year, smoking out the streets & street racing?
There are always a few....it increased 20fold this year.
I've been every year for 5 years....I've never seen anything like this year.
Even Scheid's last August wasn't this bad as far as the idiots on the streets and it was pretty bad.
I have no idea where these people come from....but they came out in droves last weekend.
I was on the 5th floor of the Drury and I could hear burnouts all night long...every night...it was rediculous. It got to the point on Saturday that I drove about 15 miles around town to get to the pulls because I didn't want my truck on the same streets as the morons. I didn't want to be associated with them and I damned sure didn't want to get hit.

My question is at such a big event why weren't there 24hr security>? Keep 1 or 2 security guards on the premises at all times during the night the Perry's should have planned a little better and NO this is not a "shot" at them so don't get on me for saying what every respectful is thinking.
Problem is as it grows the # of azzholes attending keeps getting larger too. Question is how to stop it?

After Smokin we are retiring the truck. I will attend our local strip. It sucks beng associated with a bunch like this. No more events with my truck participating. I will offer my services as staff to stay involved but this was a wake up call for me This is a family thing for me & I'm NOT going to subject my family to this behavior, our local pulls are headed they same way. A beer party & a sled pull happens. 1/2 of the drivers are drunk

The Perrys do not own Beech Bend Campground.
The people that were there were paid guests of said campground...not guests of TS Performance...perhaps the Beech Bend people should have provided security ?
OR...maybe the Perrys should provide 24 hour security at every hotel for 20 miles, every restuarant, etc ? I mean....it's people in town for their event....they MUST be responsible for them, right ?
I have a question.... I'm going of memory of 4 years ago so it could be faded with old age.
But from what I remember the campground and the drag strip where near each other and the locked gate kept people out of the drag strip. Did people actually cut the lock or something to get into the drag stip?

They actually adjoin, Kat. You can enter the same gate for both. The track was not closed off from the camp that night...no gates, barricades or anything.
Dallas is as much to blame as anyone for what happened on HIS property Friday night.
Hell...we begged to have the pits opened for Open House parking on Friday and were told no. Why would any venue owner park hundreds of heavy trucks on the side of a hill that's been rained on for nearly 2 weeks non-stop when he had a perfectly good parking lot not even 20 yards away ? And then get mad because it got tore up ? Really ?
BTW....Dennis is paying out of pocket to repair the damage to the field, he's having it rolled smooth and re-seeded.

That stuff probably better done in a PM, you sound like an idiot posting like that, and I know you are not. I can certainly see you are upset by this as we all are. We would have been there as well except for some unforeseen circumstances.
I use to be in Palm Springs, CA every spring during Spring Break when all the wild college kids would hit town to let off stream. The young cuties showing off their boobs were nice, but it all got out of hand with near riots and even sexual assaults with cheering bystanders egging them on. Things went south in a hurry causing the city to clamp down so hard it drove the kids elsewhere.
I want to race and I want to be able to compete in these national events against the best in the country and not have to put up with or be associated with the hooligan element. Massive amounts of security, serious fines and impoundment of vehicles and zero tolerance for alcohol are probably the only way we are going to get this done. Hell it might be too late already.
OK Thanks, they must have changed it since we where there or there is another entrance. Because I remember the gate being locked and the booth where they collected the money.
There is another gate futher down the hill that will connect the campgrounds to the grassy area next to the circle track.
I was at TS and I will say I had a good time. Glad the weather broke and we got to see some pulling.
I didn't see alot of smoking on the streets myself, but I stayed mostly on 231 and 68.
Although I was disappointed at the cancellation of the drags, especially for the reason at hand. My only complaint/constructive criticism would involve the pull. Schied should stick to his backyard pull.

Atleast at Shieds when the pulls were almost called off because of the rain there were utility vehicle pull offs and 4x4 atv/sport atv races in the pit area...oh yeah almost forgot, there was plenty of beer and food. Point is, everyone was happy and making the best of it. I will be back that is for sure, I don't care how many dodge trucks or KKK members are there I am in! :coolspot:
I missed the KKK members...but you can't miss the cummins love fest out there
I enjoyed Schieds last year and plan to go this year, they put on a great show. That is why it surprised me all the difficulty they had putting this pull together. I am not behind the scenes so the issue may have been out of their control, but c'mon two sleds sitting idle for 5-10 minutes between trucks...Scraping the sod off the pulling track at 5 o'clock when the pull is scheduled for 7...Building the second track while the 3.0 trucks are pulling...I had enough and left at 3am with probably 50+ trucks left to pull.

The one in Redding by JH was cancelled over a month ago. Not sure of the reason, economy likely.
