Default Re: Track Rental @ 2002 Reunion

I think it would be great to incorporate more track time into the event. I enjoyed going to the track at the 2001 Reunion and I'm guessing there were at least 20 cars that made a pass?? With the inevitable lines and oil downs that often occur under the best conditions it's doubtful anyone could ever get more than 2-3 runs in.

By renting the track for 1/2 a day a smaller group could probably get as many runs as you wanted. Logistically it would be difficult to accomplish the show and the drags in a single day as the 2001 event was able to do as it's doubtful the track could be economically rented on a Sat. evening. Also, I don't think many would really want to run their cars prior to the show on Sat. morning/afternoon. That leaves Sunday morning as the most logical time to run at the track and would still allow everyone to leave on Sunday afternoon to head home or stay until Monday morning.

Maybe the best thing to do is see if the track could be rented for part of Sunday, and if so, what the cost would be. Then based on interest from everyone it would be easy to tell if it would be feasible to go it alone or if it be necessary to partner with another small local group.

Rob, you had mentioned incorporating an outdoor musclecar show into the Reunion weekend and between the Supercars and some of those participants it might work.

I haven't had the new acquisition to the track and in fact haven't picked it up yet, but Joel Rosen used to guarantee 11's or your money back which means I might make it into the 12's with my driving skills. :-)

Charley, so what is this new toy you've got and will it be at the '02 Reunion? Kevin, it'd be great to see the '69 Nickey on the track or we could pair up our '71 BM's.
