The main issues were trying to broker a deal where both racers, their teams & the organisers are all happy. Remember the economy is not the greatest right now, so everyone is skeptical about laying down 10's of thousands of dollars, so that was one of the main reasons there were many changes. Dee can say more if he like but I'm not going into details
As stated in previous posts, some cars were shipped back to the US but the ones that stayed will have some serious grudge matches against the PR cars. The match races might be announced tomorrow with the final dates... yes I said dates, not date!! as in more than one event :rock: |
i know some guys are not too happy about this date changing and will not attend the next import rev....

The date will not be changing as far as i know. The first event will be held the weekend of the 21-22 as advertised. And yes look for more events in the future, and yes they will be happening in the US as well as PR.
And yes i am in PR :) Times are tough and we appreciate the fans patience. |

That really sucks. That's pretty much how it has been going down here in Cali.- too many tree huggers complaining of noise and of couse they can make more money building gold courses and condo's. :(
|
Unlike CA, puerto rico has an economic problem and I guess the municipality needed money, so they had to do what's best for the town. From a business point of view it makes plenty of sense, but it's just heart breaking to see a track that was once the best drag racing facility in all of the Caribbean go to waste.
At least it went out with a bang!! Import Revolution 2008 was the best drag racing experience of my life. 10 times better than pan american nationals |
I'm over a year late on this, but who gives a crap :-)
Today I finally loaded all of my photos from Import Revolution.. Enjoy Click Here for Photos - Friday/Viernes Click Here for Photos - Saturday/Sabado Click Here for Photos - Sunday/Domingo http://insanerotaries.com/events/200.../images/11.jpg http://insanerotaries.com/events/200.../images/81.jpg http://insanerotaries.com/events/200...s/rev-1018.jpg http://insanerotaries.com/events/200...s/rev-1055.jpg http://insanerotaries.com/events/200...s/rev-1102.jpg http://insanerotaries.com/events/200...s/rev-1108.jpg http://insanerotaries.com/events/200...s/rev-1070.jpg This was probably the greatest assembly of Pro Import Drag racing cars ever!! As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think we'll ever see a collection of cars like this on the same track. |
Great pics, thanks. That was one of my favorite tracks. The last thing I heard is that the golf course didn't get approved and now it just one big grass field. What a waste!
|
Memories from the corner of my mind, Nothing more then memories of the way we were LOL
Great fans at this track said to see it go. |
^ We'll definitely miss you this coming weekend.. Seems like Brent & Luis will be having all the fun.
I'm flying out on Wednesday, hopefully I don't get delayed with coming snow |
