former86, I met you before, you are a nice guy, but I think half the stuff you are complaining about is COMPLETELT illegitimate!!!
For example, "3. Lack of a second concession stand..."
There WERE two concession stands. One was between the SLP tent and the show and the other was in the usual spot.
You complain about the bathrooms stinking?
Have you EVER been to OSW before? Did you expect SLP to renivate the bathrooms at OSW just for this show?
You complained, "And free track runs come on you had to have pants and a helmet.. A helmet would run you 150..."
DID YOU NOT SEE THE ZO6 GO AIRBORNE?!?!?!? How much do you think a fractured skull would cost you?!
I could go into a lot more but I am not goig to. I'll end with this...
"Plus the ultra z should have every slp product not a nx nitrous kit..."
Even if you don't know your a$$ from a hole in the ground or better yet A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR from a NITROUS SOLENOID and even if you can't take TWO SECONDS to pick up the article they had on the ULTRA Z right next to the car which made NO MENTION of a nitous bottle then at least when EVERYONE ON THIS POST is telling you it didn't have nitrous then give it up and don't post, "I am almost positive I saw nitrous solinoids on it.."
What is SOOO BAD about a naturally aspirated STREET LEGAL car running 10's?
Like I said, I have met you before at shows and you are a really nice guy, it's just if you are going to be one of those guys that complains about what he is getting FOR FREE then at least get your facts straight.
NEW TOPIC
My only concern was that this huge GM Performance Parts company painted their car the UGLY @ss FORD COLOR LASER RED!!!!!!!
Why SLP, why?!??!?! I can understand going for magazine cover loving red, but this red looks horrible AND it's a FORD color.

I am shocked there was another concession stand I was all over must have missed it. I am not one of those that complain about free stuff, but I was just saying I would rather pay for a better event. IMO I thought it was a 5 on a scale of 10 the is my opinion and the people I went with were not to impressed either.
The only bathroom I used at OSW was the pot-ta potty and I did not think SLP would revamp anything I just was appalled at all the **** on the floor and drastically horrid smell in the bathroom.
And I saw the z06, but not everyone goes that fast…. When I called OSW and asked about helmet standards and rentals they mentioned nothing of it…
I never said anything was bad about a NA car running 10’s I though it was running 10 with nitrous that is why I was unimpressed. Plus when I looked at the car there was no flyer around it…
Like I said I had a bad time, thought it was a waste except for watching cars run and I can get just as good a view paying 10 bucks on a wed or Friday. I was more annoyed with the rude and crappy sales techs at the tent and form that point on it went sour.
Also if you look in a previous post I said I was donr bsing….Why even bring it up further and only what two guys said they thought it was not a nx solenoid so I ended after that… Others complained too not just me… I am just the most vocal… Anyway who cares really…. Next year you’ll go I may not and in the end is it important… Boy this post is huge now… lol….
What’s next.. It would have been great if they had this weather we have going on now.. Imagine how fast everyone would have been….

sorry you didn't have much fun, the only thing i'd complain about was the lack of activities like you pointed out (dyno, etc etc) and the extreme heat. the track has NEVER been stickier before.

Bad time?
Former86, your complaining about the bathroom conditions but the only one you used was the porta-potty?
Have you ever been in a porta-potty before?? That's not someplace you want to go in and hang out a while looking at the decor. You go in, ****, and then get the hell out. Do you expect SLP to hose it out after each person gets finished using it? It was a one day event. I am sure it was spotless when they put it there the day before. It got messed up from all the people using it. But dude..... it's a porta-sh*t. There is no plumbing. There is just a massive sh*t holding tank under the pot. Don't stick your nose in there and sniff.... just whiz and leave, dude....
The SLP guys at the tent were fine. If they had some kind of attitude with you it was probably because you were whining that 15% wasn't a good enough discount.
You were saying you weren't impressed with the event before the event even happened. (in your post that was linked) The truth probably is that you were pissed at SLP for something before hand and are just trying to get others on your side. But dude, everyone had a good time except you, and that's only because you planned to not have a good time.

You know what.. SLP sucks IMO the event SUCKED IMO your not going to change my mind and I am not going to change yours.. I never tired to.. I voiced my opinion. I have not been so immature as to try and switch anyone’s mind or state someone was whining.. IMO the event stunk was not worth my time. I had a bad experience and what is ironic is I was not the only person. You may have had the best time of your life and that is great for those that did.. I am not going to take anything away from them. The SLP techs may have been your best buddy, who cares, I had a bad experience with them for what ever reason, they were tired, were to busy, whatever. If you go into a restaurant and eat bad food I am not going to say well I had great food so I did not know what your problem is..
On the bathroom thing I said "The only bathroom I used before at OSW was the pot-ta potty and I did not think SLP would revamp anything I just was appalled at all the **** on the floor and drastically horrid smell in the bathroom. " This was my first experience in the large nasty called a restroom.. THe port o potty's are cleaner than what I say that day.

What also gets me is you do not know me and you do not know what was going on to bluntly say it must have been me… They must have given you good service cause you kissed their *** or blew them.. Hmm that is probably why..
lets just do this, stop I am over it and probaly everyone else is.. I had a bad time you had a good time who cares. You can name 10 that had a great time I can name 10 that thought it was so so. Who cares you had fun and that is all that matters.

News flash! SLP Day is over. Quit yer bitchin'.
I had fun, I thought free was a good thing, SLP people were cool, had in the trailer what I wanted and gave me a 15% discount, I even lost my coupon and still got the discount by being NICE.
All the guys I was with had fun, tons of girls to eyeball, cool cars to watch and racing all day with out the usuall delays, and great weather. Did I mention FREE addmition.
I have been to OSW close to 200 times since 1980 and NEVER got in free for anything.
Hope they come back. I'll race next year for sure. I dont care if they bring a dyno with them. Timeslips mean more than dyno slips any day.
As far as SLP goes, I've ordered a lid and shifter at different times and got both in three days. No problems. No excuses.
I could mention tons of vendors that are a pain in the *** to deal with. So far SLP aint one of them.
