I e-mailed Kay Fair today at 1320go.com in regards to New England Dragway adding this feature. This was his response:


Justin,

Here's what I've done over the years. I've talked to Joe Lombardo at the track. He seemed interested a few years ago but decided that he didn't want it after all. I've tried to contact him several times this year but haven't actually talked to him.

I think that it will take the racers wanting it before it happens. The cost to a track is $600 to download the software to a computer they already have. That's a one-time fee. We provide the cables and adapter to connect it along with support during the connection process. We watch all the 1320go tracks while they're racing for anything that might come up. We believe in customer service, both to our tracks and series, as well as to our members.

That's it. We look at our tracks and series as partners to make drag racing the best it can be for the racers and fans.

If you have any suggestions for me, I'm here!

Thanks,

Kay

So, I am posting to try and raise the $600 to add this great feature to New England Dragway. I will start with the 1st $20 donation and if we could raise the other $580 we will all have access to every run down the 1/4 mile @ NED. Thanks for your donations in advance. Thank you.

I spoke with Joe this morning via e-mail and he said that we can give it a go to try and raise the $600. He said to make the checks out to New England Dragway, Inc and send them to me. I will hold the checks until we reach $600 so in the event we don't reach the $600 I can mail them all back. My address is:

22 Brandy Brook Road
Scituate, RI 02857

Thank you in advance for all the donations and support and I hope we can make this happen!


i dont know if any of you guys have tried this site but its sick. teamed with the live webcam its pretty much like being at the track watching the race! plus u will have access to all of your runs whenever u'd like. look into it its pretty sick and a donation would be much appreciated.

sounds like a cool idea. Sucks that the track with all they money they makes doesnt want to poney up such an insignificant amount of cash to make the fans happy.

so we have to pay to raise the money for this and then have to pay to be a member on 1320go.com to use it?

to view the passes and times in live time, no u dont have to pay to use it. to log your times etc you can pay and become a member. (im not too sure how good the logging of times is as i am not a member but it seems cool.) i've used it with other tracks when their was big races and i was watching online it was sick. u see the rundown of both passes side by side everything on the time slip and what car it is and who the driver is.

seems pretty cool but idk if its worth trying to raise the money if the owner doesnt think with worth swinging a lousy 600 for

If twelve guys pitch in 50 bucks we could easily do it.....so why the hell doesn't the track just do it?

i wouldnt care BUT look how much it costs to run at NED now, the price has increased alot yet the place doesnt offer anything to show for it.

Why the hell is NED so cheap!? its not like they dont have the money to do it on their own...seems like they dont like to do anything that the people want to happen...i remember when PINKS wanted to do an episode there but they turned them down...way to lose out on money..stupid

Never knew that, they are stupid lol

we all know where i stand with the NED management also....
