Everybody always gets me and my little bro mixed up. I'm the older one who was convincing Micheal to buy your buggy.
I didn't believe it when Andy and my pops told me about it. Once I saw Adam walking with Dana and the note card in his hand I knew that they weren't kidding. It's total BS that we now have to be watching our stuff or locking them in the car while we pit for friends.

seriously! that takes some serious cahonas... And from what i hear Adam is one of the nicest most helpful guys out there... what a shame..

It would be nice to have some cameras over the parking lot now with monitor that everyone can see because this has gotten out of hand, the freakin crackheads from before when the junkyard was there now we have I think are spectators bringing lookouts on what they can grab and scoot out with before driver comes back, the hard part of this that you want to hepl a buddy pit for you and that already takes two away and when you know there's a good race then more leave the pits to watch. My thing now is you want to help when newbies comeby and ask but involves them in being in the pits and you feel proud when someone admires your stuff but what do we do to prevent this, do we have info pit passes into the pit area like the worlds, I would favor it so when some thing comes up missing you check camera along with driver's lic. info/pit pass that way it gives them a sense that they have onfo on them, the other thing I learned back in my clothing retail days is when a person comes into a store and you greet them they know you've made an eye to eye contact with them and if they were trying to lift something they know somone know what they look like. Sounds a lil silly to greet everyone that comes to the track but it would sure make them think.
Adam hope your ride comes back around somewhere along with others, I've been looking on Craigslist and E-bay just by chance and other should also they could be that stupid.

Man I leave my $h!t all spread out under my tent. iphone in the bose dock, tools everywhere parts NIP in the roller bags 2 chargers on the table and usually 300-400 worth of lipo batteries charging or on the table. That just plain sucks I would be pissed if someone else stole from me at a race. I guess I need to be more cautious. Stealing is just plain wrong. I am the type that gives back change when the teller gives me too much...
They will get what is coming to them there is no way around it.

i am pretty sure the thievery is coming from little punks that dont race but watch the races and want to race also .
i have no tolerance for thievery in any form , whether it be at the track or on the internet with customers or designs
we wanted this hobby to get bigger ???? be careful what you wish for , with more people involved there is more chance that there might be a few bad eggs out there

well i count myself lucky my rottweiler sits at my pit table and i haven't loss anything but no one puts there tent near me either. this is common with comments on drake that he is one of the nicest ppl to talk to but scumbag theifs dont stand and talk to him it happens to the best of us and im sorry this has happened
#25
sucks this happens. seems to happent to drake alot. I think his 1/10 truck was stolen at RCX a few years back. Shame because he really is one of the coolest most helpful guys in the biz.

Just put up signs that say video monitored. You don't even have to buy a camera. The threat alone should scare off bums.

It would really be nice if there were some cameras around to catch someone in the act. Also Dana should only have the front parking lot gate open. That way no one is able to drive away behind the hobby shop. If something dose go missing and is reported in time, Dana will be able to control the traffic flow and could check exiting cars. There is no outside parking, so it could be feasible to control the flow of traffic.
I hope Adam's and Darren's stuff is found. It's sad that something like that happened to such cool guys. They never did anything wrong to deserve that.

These people are stealing in broad daylight with people around. Fake warnings wont do the trick. imo.
