i know its pretty pathetic that club lex wont even support a venue which will prove to provide quality entertainment going forward as a alternative to going to pbir all the time for just 1/4 mile
remember folks there should be more stuff to see ( which i cant go into on the net) which will be very exciting to witness first hand
so again i ask whos going to come a support my friend mario's event

Example from Teamspeed.
Complete fraud. STAY AWAY from anything Milemarker-1 organizes. Got there before 7AM. Did not have my first run until 10AM, my second run at 1:15PM. They have their headstart group, that runs before you 3-4 times. They have the "have to leave early" group they wave by to run 3-4 times. I came from Maryland, WHO THE FUDGE has to leave earlier than I???? No display, no electronic time taking, no printed slip, they TELL you your speed. I got nothing for my first run and 157MPH trap speed for my second when my GPS and speedo agreed on 175MPH. They told the same to the guy in front of me who had 20MPH more shown on his GPS.
No pen to write the numbers on the cars, no consessions for the drivers, no porta potee, 6 FUDGING hours on the tarmac at 100F drinking your own stale, warm water and nowhere to ****.
There is absoultely noway for anybody to run 4 times unless you are one of the cronies. I will e-mail them to refund me my money by Friday or I will open a fraud case with American Express. I will expose these MFs on every automotive board out there.
I am a bit mad. Going to SoBe now to cool off and get hammered.

Well, I did not drive the whole way. Had my family with me. So it is a 2 hour drive to the auto train in VA and then a 5 hour drive from Sanford, FL to Miami. So that is 14 hours drive total. Train plus hotel for four about $3,000 - having to buy my wifey now something nice after dinner in SoBe because she had to put up with me all pissy - Expensive!!!!

^^ This isn't organized by the same people.
Mario learned a few things from MM-1 and so did Max and the MM-1 crew. Expect this and the Jan 3rd mile even to be MUCH better then the last.
I will not make the drive down from Tampa for this one, but plan on supporting these events as they go through the growing pains to make them kick @SS!
It's already confirmed that food, drinks and plenty of rest rooms will be available at this event.
They will also be using top of the line devices for trapping the speed. Not sure if time slips will be given out or if MPH displays will be at each 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and mile mark.

First impression has a significant meaning.
Example from Teamspeed.
No drama intended but im sure a few of us, myself included, were not satisfied with the performance of the last event. Though it was well worth $5, its not worth a return trip until significant differences are made. Looks like you guys might have a Public Relations problem if no improvements are made.

furthermore , you guys know me , been here since the begining of clublexus and one of the founders of the lexus meets since 2003
top gun run people have commited to make sure this event is handled properly , will some mistakes be made , maybe , but nothing major that i can forsee
food on site right at the spectator area, timing equipment with pa announced speeds, bathrooms at spectator area, car show at spectator area,organized spectator parking and some very special events in the afternoon that cant be made public
cars called in groups this event will have the things that were missing , present

Are IS-F's invisible? Same for ISSForged. If you are going to make a big deal about participation, at least give credit where credit is due.......
