I still don't know if I will make it or not. I have very little time to work on the car and finish it up. Last year I paid early and didn't make the event, which was fine as I don't mind supporting the effort. Hopefully I will get motivated and finish up the car sometime. Either way I hope things work out. I will make it if I can.

That being said, If I do race I would be fine with cutting the payouts back. But thats just me. The really fast guys are probably looking for their payouts though.

I really wish I lived closer.. No way can I make that trip from Miami, especially with the car.

..Unless someone wants to sponsor me to watch Mr. Shephard get yoinked by moi

In all seriousness, it would suck to see this event go to ****. Hopefully things pull through. Good luck guys!

Ya know we COULD setup a PAYPAL acct and donate to keep this alive, even though the economy is bad we can keep it alive until it gets better. Even if we dont plan to go.

What you guys think?

Tony?

As much as that sounds like a good idea a big chunk of the funds we already have are from LTXTECH.com title sponsorship which mainly came from donations of members. So donations have already played a big part in this. Hate to ask for more. We really need more company sponsorships and more registered racers.

i'm sorry i'm not going to be able to make it...my car is still in pieces. i was planning on bringing my LT1 powered '88, but looks like it will have to wait another year...if there is one.

as for support, we need to come together and help out. if we don't support events like this, and they aren't able to pull it off, what's the incentive to try again next year? to keep a good thing happening, act now. i think the paypal idea is a good one. if there is a place to send donations specifically for this event, let me know.

Let's do this guys. As noted before, payouts don't matter! The thrill of the competition matters. The enjoyment you get from meeting LTX crazies from all over is what matters.

Putting aside the absolute blast I had making 11 passes on a very sticky track, I can think of 10 more reasons from last year to make me go this year:

1. The parking lot party/wrench session every night. Much beer was consumed, many bench racing stories were exchanged, lot's of good jokes, and even a creepy gap-toothed lady had to be fended off.

2. Sharing Tanner's Molson Canadian that he generously distributed.

3. Ellis taking the rental off road and trying to get it stuck.

4. Skizzie hitting on anything and everything remotely female at the after-dinner, to include his strip tease dance.

5. Kansas City Barbecue!

6. Nitro Dave's redneck sunburn after all day at the track.

7. GMHTP and other media attending.

8. Tony Shepherd jumping in Kyle's car and snapping the driveshaft on it's second pass ever.

9. Ray Ray trying to blow up his motor with a nitrous malfunction - but thankfully not succeeding.

10. Watching some simply badass racing! And lots of it!

Some of you are asking "how can I afford to go?"

I ask you "how can you afford not to?"

DO NOT MISS OUT.
