The Rock Raceway - Thoughts & Ideas!!

binx · Post by **binx** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 9:30 am

Hi Guys,

I have recently got involved with The Rock Raceway by helping to promote upcoming events via the web. I found you lot yesterday and have since been in touch with Tobey, i was hoping to get your thoughts and ideas on ways that you feel as drivers would improve the driving / drifting experience at the Rock?

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

I suggested that maybe an open track that has *no walls* next to it might help

Yeah the wall make my bum pucker up a little!! (maybe ill take some testosterone and grow bigger Bolz)

However having dealt with various racing fraternities the warm welcome you guys give the drivers and your openness allowing us practice time with no bs or politics is rare!

Keep up the good work.

The only thing is i ruined one of my drift tyres on the entry to the track i picked up a nail... so maybe a little tar would be cool. (though the puncture is not your fault)

I think if more 200sx members get involved and bring there cars down to

the track it would be cool

When you say "get involved", do you mean involved in drifting, or just come to watch?

Valid points and they are noted! I know that the Rock Team strive to make every Rock experience an unforgetable one, thanks for the compliment

Having said that, are there any more areas that need attention, we take constructive criticism very well! At the end of the day the Rock is just a track if we don't have drivers - you guys make it all happen so your opinion and ideas are crucial

Well idealy in the drifting, but also to come watch and support the guys and just have general sx chat

The only guys I really see regularly at the track ( practice & events ) are stephan & hotstuff

From the track side what more could you ask for.... its a really great venue

So for the JHB boys there is really no excuse not to come wed nights and try it out for yourself, or at least catch a ride - Its some of the best fun I promise

I am not sure what your involvement is with rockracing, but if you are part of that friendly people there like Anne and Tim, I suggest you speak to Anne about your mobile enabled web site and how that can give you a severe boost/assistance in the marketing ideas you have. Ann knows all about the mobile enabled web site which we activated for them. Use your cell phone browser or pc and visit www.kwikwap.co.za/rockracing. Let me know your connection there and we can discuss it further. We even spoke about redirecting cell phones access to their normal site to be rerouted to the mobile enabled web site.

Well you guys have most of the stuff needed, but I'd say do something no one else are doing...you have a round track for saloons and such, as far as I know a drag strip, some offroad stuff....but wouldn't it be great if you had a proper track for track days and professional racing on a track like zwartkops or something.... all in one basket.....

Get your own spl equipment for sound offs and so on....

Think of this....a whole weekend of racing in all categories, from drifting, track, oval, off road....sound offs....make it like a festival weekend....festival of racing....people camp there...race....party....for the whole weekend.
