Peoria Speedway and their silly new rule

[ptown]

I agree with not letting you bring any food or drinks in. I've been to at least 25 different tracks in the Midwest and Peoria is the only one I ever seen not let you leave and come back in.

I think Jason Plumer is doing a great job with the track but this is a huge mistake.

So if I have to go out to my rv and get an insulin shot( which would be in my refrigerator since clearly I'm not allowed to bring a cooler in Peoria) to prevent me from going into anaphylactic shock, then they are going to charge me another entry fee to get back in after I went out to save my own life.

Yep, makes perfect sense to me..................

I look at it like this..............if they are worried about me , you or anybody else sneaking in a candy bar or a certain kind of water or soda that they like because they are afraid of what they are going to loose in sales at the snack bar.
Then they are already in trouble with their money and won't be around much longer to try and improve what they have clearly screwed up already.

They should start frisking people to make sure that they aren't sneaking in any common sense.......I would start with the promotors and owners first.

Is that a Snickers bar in your pants pocket or are you just happy????

Better yet: Are those real or are they just Grapefruits????

Here is a clue if you don't like what you "heard", Stay away from Peoria.Just be a keyboard jockey and continue hating Peoria. Great news Spoon River will be open soon and you can pay to bring your cooler in EACH time you come back in with it. Waiting for that to blow up and cause issues.

How about a sign at the front gate that states, if you fight at the track you will arrested and you will be kicked out for the remainder of the year. No matter if you are in the stands or in the pits.

Already on my to do list Steve............

Good luck with that new re enter rule.........hope it doesnt add to the misery and put it BACK under water.

Does that track not have a law enforcement presence????? I would think a few hot laps around the parking lot from deputy dog would curtail the drinking in the parking lot scenario as was described being the reason for the rule itself.

All rise.............common sense has just entered the courtroom!!!!!

Nice post rock......it's kinda how it's done at a lot of the tracks that I have ever been to on a Saturday night( dirt or asphalt)

The troublemakers get punished, not the people who act right.

Yep why punish those that do what's right. They are just out to have a good time and have a few beers without causing any trouble.

About thirty years ago I met a business owner who was very saavy ...........he gave me his card , and like with most business cards, I filed it away deep in my wallet.

This particular guy ( and his staff) were very good at customer service along with making his business very customer friendly ..........he wasn't the cheapest guy in town, but went on to become a very big player in his arena of business and I always tried to patronize him when possible.

One day when cleaning out my wallet,I ran across his card and was about to throw it away and then I flipped it over to the back side , and the back side read the following..........

WHY CUSTOMERS LEAVE.......
1%.....die
3%.....move away
5%....because of other friendships or relationships from similar businesses
9%....for competitive reasons( better prices somewhere else)
14%...product dissatisfaction
68%....because of the poor attitude or bad service from ONE employee.

It's still in my wallet( laminated for quick reference) to this day.........

yea...and that's why sometimes their isn't even 500 fans in the stands there at Spoon....

[plunks7]

Oh really, which ones? name them

dirtwriter : I can name one 34 raceway in Burlington IA. They started doing this 2 years ago. Not being a smart ass. Just thought I would point that out.

[$bill]

I can recall a couple...........

Spoon had the rule for a while......as did J ville years back....Jason is trying it this way to change some folks who attend Peoria.....Some times it gets pretty weird there ......Might work Might not........I hope he can make it work...................BB

You must not travel much. LOTS of tracks do this

I don't know where you're from, but no, lots of tracks don't do this.

What he said ^^^^^....I can just see an official telling me I cant go to my truck after spending $30-45 for a pit pass!

[Barbecueboy]

I could hear an official telling me that .....................ONCE.

Sorry but I travel all over the Usa for late models races and have been to a bunch of tracks all over the country along with every major dirt late model race and have not seen this once sorry but I highly disagree
