Get a publication to back you... Media Credentials are for, well, Media.

All of motorsports have been tightening the requirements lately. If you think some one-off series like drifting is bad, try NASCAR or Indy Car some time. And Formula 1? Well, first you have to prove you carry something like $5 Million in insurance before they'll even consider you.

lol yeah but nascar is so boring to me. Very very little skill. Just requires strength and listening skills.

I dont know publications etc. Normally i just make up a company or something but they check this time... which sucks for me.

Ever see the races at Sonoma or Watkins Glenn? A level of car control you won't find anywhere else. Anyone can drive a 900 pound open wheel car that sticks like it's welded to the track. Try it in a 2500 pound stock car and you'll find you need a very fine touch to stay out of the kitty litter.

230 MPH running door to door and literally leaning on the guy ahead of you? Yeah, really easy... Not. Haha...

So you really lie to get into events? Pretty freakin' ballsy...

That's funny, you lie to get in but you seem to have a problem with rules. Interesting

To make a single turn, great, so challenging, not. Formula 1 is different as they make more then one turn. Formula 1 is crazy especially on the longer tracks with all the sharp turns and different levitations at high speeds.

I dont have an issue with the rules other then the fact of not being told them. I didnt know you needed pants to be on track. I never had that issue out here in AZ.

Yes, lie to get in. Not some crazy stunt pulled or anything. I dont own a company nor am i part of anything. I doubt i will be as well so.

Some of Jays work at Ground Control in Goodyear! Lots of sweet photos he has there.

I wonder how the rest of the state is going to play out.

Looking good Jay!

I remember this one time out at PIR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race we were standing in line for the shuttle to the infield and there was this guy who was so, so excited because he had a "HOT" garage/track pass. He was so stoked and couldn't wait to be that close to his favorite drivers and the loud noise of the cars, that smell, the smell of racing fuel and the intensity and excitement, oh man was he excited, so much so that he almost wet his pants . . .

He kept babbling on and on about how this was the first time he had ever had a "HOT" pass and how cool it was and all the great things he would see and all the great people he would talk to . . . He was as excited as a young child on Christmas morning or a kid in a candy store . . .

As the shuttle dropped us off and we walked with nervous anticipation towards the gate to the garage you could see he was grinning from ear-to-ear. The person at the gate checked my pass and let me in and once inside the magical nirvana of the "HOT" garage I stopped and turned around to watch the eager young man enter the gates of heaven in his world and as I watched the gate attendant point out to the young man that it didn't matter what kind of pass he had, he needed long pants and closed-toed shoes to get in . . .

I swear, at that moment I watched this poor guy fall to pieces, his heart sank like a rock in a vast ocean of disappointment and as the horror of the situation washed over this guys face I just couldn't help but laugh . . .

and smile knowing I too was once denied entry to the beloved "HOT" garage because I was wearing shorts, the difference was I planned for such a situation and just went to the car and put on my long pants despite the 112 degree heat and was soon enjoying the comforts of the nirvana that is a "HOT" garage while this poor guy was still standing outside the gate peering in like a short kid who is not tall enough to ride the thrill ride at the fair.

TauntDevil - I don't know you beyond here and maybe I am out of line with what I have typed for you below, but I am willing to accept that.

You seem to be able to find this forum on the internet, maybe use that same internet connection and do some research BEFORE stating that their rules are bunk. For the life of me, why would one drive to California without some research about where I am going, or sheesh - roll yourself down to Wallyworld get yourself a pair of bigboy pants after finding out their rules (rules are in place for reasons). Life has it that if one is chronologically 18+ you are considered an adult in this country (often this is debatable) but man up. Sorry - while I may not be perfect, I repeatedly see your posts and really drives me nuts and glad I don't have kids.

- Don't even get me started on the lying to get into places. Hope you realize by doing this creates so many more roadblocks for other legitimate folks then have so much trouble getting in.

Internet: Place for the drama.

I didnt state that the rules are "bunk" or crap just didnt expect it. Are you expecting me to magically know that the track rules at that track are different then the tracks out here...
I drove to California knowing exactly where i was going and what i was doing, i dont know where your getting that one from.
If i remember correctly, i didnt ask you to read my posts... So if they bother you... dont read them. Simple as that.

Im thankful for the help that people have provided for me on here. I if i am unable to find something on the internet or the search or i dont understand it very well i ask for the help.

As for the lieing part, im sorry that you feel that way for an event that has 30 spots open for media and only 17 showed up/registered. If you want to waste your time typing about the lieing thing then go right ahead. Probably wont read it until tomorrow or so but ill read it.

PS: Your not out of line for anything said on here (The internet).
