Thumbs down Extreme Chunkin

We went over to New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday for the Extreme Chunkin event. To say the least, it was poorly run and disappointing:
  • It took about a half hour to get into the parking lot because they did not have a separate line for folks who had bought their tickets prior to the event. Everyone waited in line while they collected gate as the cars entered the parking lot.
  • They advertised a car show....there was nothing there.
  • There was relatively little going on...it took about 20 minutes or more between actual launches and everyone was just standing around with nothing to do.
  • They decided to fire towards a hill, so you could not see the flight of the pumpkin other than the launch. Some of the pumpkins were actually fired into the woods....stupid.
  • They put the kids stuff all the way at the end...so parents with small children had to hike about 1/2 mile to get there.
  • There were only a few unappetizing concessions with long lines (french fries, onion rings).
  • No real entertainment between launches...the MCs were absolutely awful.

I hope that they get their act together...there was a big crowd and generally not too pleased.
