Track Owners:
All track owners are encouraged to post your race dates and times here. It's easy and it's free. For better results please include important weather information, camping, gate times, track conditions, costs and other information pertaining to your race. Please be honest about track conditions. You'll gain the rider's trust in the long run. Keep an eye on your thread for questions a rider may have. Come back and check for feedback after your race. Many businesses have a huge budget for market research for what you get on here for free. Sometimes it isn't what you want to hear. Let's face it. These guys are brutally honest on here sometimes. However tracks that listen and adapt also get in return just as much positive feedback. PitRacer doesn't have employees so we can't monitor each and every post every second, but we do have a team of volunteers that monitor the threads and can take quick action against the occasional flamer.
It may seem redundant because all of this information is on your Facebook page or your website but think about it for a second. It may take 3 minutes of your time to post on PitRacer. If you get one additional person for that 3 minutes of work that's $75/hr you're earning. If you happen to get 10 additional riders for 3 minutes of work that's $750/hr. Not to mention all the phone calls you didn't have to answer.
Pre-post setup:
Posting Your Race:
Post your race from the race forum. The select Thread Tools > Calendar Add and select the race date. This will add your event to the calendar and it will automatically link to the thread you just created.
When your event is linked to the calendar you'll get additional exposure the day of your event at the top of the forums:
A Note to the Riders:
Riders may also post this information on behalf of tracks. Please include the source of your information. When responding to race days please be as constructive as possible. Support your local track so your local track can stay open for you. This means volunteering your time. This means promoting and attending their races. Signing up for a couple classes. You might have to stay longer than a practice day. It might be hot. After 4 laps you might not be the first across the checkered but by showing up and participating your track wins which means you win too. You might even have a story or two to tell your grandchildren when you get older.
