Why don't they run Lemons at MSR Cresson?

[Mach1]

Anyone know?

[jw33]

I've never been there, however I hear the paddock area isn't setup for it.

[Darren M]

Paddock would be tight but I bet it would work. I'm not sure why they don't. Interested in this answer too as I've run that track, before the expansion, and damn it was fun!!

[Murph Tang]

dunno. been awhile since I've been there but unless they've expanded the paddock area not much in that department.

Maybe also they don't want 50+ cars leaving zip ties all over their facility.

I'd love to do TWS.

That's kinda what I was thinkin

We are usually one of the last ones leaving the track. Its like a sea of zip ties all over the lot.

Just a ridesmart track day completely fills that place up, I can't imagine what it'd be like running an entire Lemons field with all the crew.

No barrier between opposing track directions might be one reason. Head ons are really bad.
Karts will play there but won't race.

because the event doesn't make money and the track rental is priced as such to run the organizers off

What about MSR Houston, diff owners?

[jw33]

MSR houston is jam packed on lemons weekend, but I have no idea how many folks it would take for Cresson to make a dime. Eagles Canyon even looked pretty full to me also way out in BFE in the middle of the summer heat, but their overhead may be less. If Cresson couldn't make a buck with a lemons race having 75-100 teams and the few hundred riff-raff that shows up, I can't imagine what event would. I guess the Lambo HPDE charge a lot more than I ever thought.

I've heard rumor of pride issues on the owners of Cresson, as well as paaddock space and safety issues.

I seriously doubt that money was the issue, I've been on track at MSR Houston with 140 cars, and at roughly $1250 per car, there is money out there.
