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.
