Rock Island Grand Prix Driver Survey #3 Question Title * 1. Please give us your feedback on the rules: Rules in 2012 were easy to read and comprehend Rules in 2012 were difficult to read and comprehend Rules - I don't read them I prefer using a specific set of rules I prefer using the "most lenient" of several different rules application. Comments Question Title * 2. There has been much debate over rules for tires. I prefer the current rules that provide for open tire brands and compounds in most classes. I prefer to have spec tires designated so everyone races on the same, even if it's not my brand. Other (please specify) Question Title * 3. Please give us your feedback on the number of classes: There are too many classes The number of classes is fine as it is I would like to see more classes added Other (please specify) Question Title * 4. Please give us your feedback on the schedule I think the amount of track time/ schedule is adequate I favor more track time by reducing classes I favor more track time by starting earlier or racing later I favor more track time by offering compatible classes (i.e. medium.heavy; 1 & 2) thus more opportunity for practice, more racing and more chances to win. Other (please specify) Question Title * 5. Starts: The current process mixes rolling, Formula 1 standing and curb (LeMans) starts I like the current setup I think they should be uniform Other (please specify) Question Title * 6. What do you think of the track design? It is fine and should be the same each year. If possible, I would like to see periodic changes. Other (please specify) Question Title * 7. Currently the RIGP picks several classes that are presented as "premier" classes each year with driver intros etc. Previously this was done only for King of the Streets. I think there should be one BIG race each year I'm fine with the current setup with several BIG races. I think all races should be treated the same, even if that means no introductions. Other (please specify) Question Title * 8. The Rock Island Grand Prix features one of the largest purses in kart racing at more than $25,000. However for smaller classes that purse can be cut in half and pay out less places. I understand that racers have to support classes for there to be a purse. I'm fine with the current setup I don't care about the purse. I think all race classes should have the same entry fee and payout It's OK with me if some classes are designated as "pro" with a purse and others have no payout and lower entry fee I would like to see a basic payout with some classes getting "bigger money" each year. I want money and like that full classes pay back nine places. I want money and think checks for nine places is too much. I'm just racing to beat good competition and win a "Rock." Guaranteed purse is important to me. I would like to see more non-place related awards (Hard Charger, Pole Winner etc.) with number of places paid reduced. Question Title * 9. Regarding the Sunday night John Deere Awards Ceremony I usually try to attend I usually don't attend I don't come because I don't place high enough; would come for more contingency prizes I'm usually on the road headed home by then. I didn't know there was an awards ceremony I didn't know they served food and drink at the awards ceremony Other (please specify) Question Title * 10.
