I've been trying to get to the UMI event for about 3 years now. The first year there wasn't an autocross and I didn't make it. The next ones didn't go much better. Last year we were closing on a new house and packing during the event. This year I'm registered, my fees are paid and the hotel is booked. I haven't run in a long time and the car is likely the heaviest and lowest HP vehicle on the list....but this seems like too much fun to miss. And, the UMI guys are the best group of guys you'll ever meet and it's always great to hang out with them.

Who's going?

Hi All,

Thanks for all the positive feedback. It is great to see!

We were totally thrown off guard by the sign up speed, I never expected that to be honest. I thought with adding a 2nd event this year (KOTM) it will draw a few to that event and ease up on the pressure to sign up immediately. I was wrong.

I have really spent a lot of time on the new race track/park. I have a vision and want to accomplish it over the next few years, it was so nice to see all the positive reviews and compliments after the event. It showed our hard work paid off and made we feel proud of what we have accomplished in such little time. We plan to make more improvements to the track this year prior to our event. We still have a long ways to go but each year you'll see new and exciting changes- 2019 just started but I already have ideas for 2020 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Kevin- Glad you can finally make it out! I look forward to hanging out.

Devon- I am sorry about your experiences, honestly from our feedback online I never really hear stories like this. Ramey does most of our online support and is very knowledgeable and helpful. My guys are trained to treat each customer equal, small sales, big sales or no sales. It doesn't make much sense to focus just on current customers and not try to gain new customers? Again I apologize if we upset you. I will say from my standpoint your replies on Facebook aren't the friendliest either. I know our KOTM event seemed hand picked and that's because it was, but that is because we don't know everyone yet. We missed a lot of good people. We are this year getting involved more with the SCCA and will be attending the CAM Challenge in Peru and even sponsored it.

Me too! I always like to get out and see you guys when you're in town or if I'm out your way. Building a house really screwed up last year and I missed Goodguys and we closed during the UMI event. This is finally going to be my year!!! It's always to see you, Ramey, Jerry and Bethany, Roger and the crew. This will be fun!

We've made some shop changes too since you've last been here. And the open house has been fun, it's really cool watching people explore and ask questions about how we do something.
