KCIR is NOT dead yet and several are working on options to keep it open and build a better track to replace it. This is a very sensitive subject to KC racers due to the way it's been going down (shady big city politics mixed with a few "well off" locals).
That being said I have no complaints with BG, the track and hotel are now familar with the event. That seems like it would be one less hassle for someone when it comes to planning future events. I think Gateway wanted too much $ when it was looked into but who knows what the new management will want.
I think we should first make sure we have a dedicated person/ staff to organize the event before we argue about where it'll be! I WILL attend where ever it is and I'd love to step up and plan it but I just don't have the time. I do have time to assist with whatever we need to make it happen. I'm sure it's an overwhelming task to manage tons of emails, the Paypal account balance, and funding/ promotion for the event. Especially when it's a smaller event where several people want the rules changed to apply to their car.
My hats off to Tony and Kyle for making it possible for the last 4 years and we're all lucky they dedicated their time to make it happen so we could meet every year.
THANK YOU.
I'll support who ever steps up, however I can, to make this happen in 2012.

If I have a job this winter and can make some $$$ I'll have no problem donating. Idk about $1k but maybe $500 or so.
If someone can come up with a letterhead here is Holley's Address: 1801 Russellville Rd., Bowling Green, KY 42101
People that may be contacted regarding the sponsorship may be found here http://investing.businessweek.com/re...rivcapId=29493
It lists the CFO, COO, Chairman of the Board/CEO/President (He's the man!), and VP's
Hope this helps some.

Holley is the parent company to several other companies which make TONS of stuff for the LS platform. The series is one big advertisement for them. How many Holley products do you have on your LT1 car? How many Holley products do they make for an LT1? Not too much stuff. To the rest of the world the LT platform is dead. Anyway, I honestly don't know how much room they would have in their schedule to fit a few LTx classes at the race track on the same day as the LSx classes.

Hope this stays alive. Sucks because of my budget that I cannot make the trip to BG. A great alternative would be atco or MIR. Both are VERY fast tracks and they dont rob you as far as pricing goes...

i apologize i just hate the false impressions. The big money in the city is the kaffmens, people that own the baseball stadium. Kristen K. Lives on the hill by the race track. Moved there knowing about it..duhh. That bitch has her hands in all the city counselmen's and womens (cindy circo) leading the way. Its a joke. Anyway... sorry again. Just dont need anymore false impressions. Ill be there this year to give you some beers to make up for it. Anywho.....we will all pull together and get her going.

I've been posting about this on LTxTech, so for those that aren't on there, I'm definitely helping out as well. A lot of us are trying to figure out the logistics of just gathering all the base info. As for discussion for where it's to be held, I say just keep it at BG. No track change.

^^ Agreed the track staff and hotel are familar with us and the event so that would be one less hassle for us with making reservations.
We should continue/ move the conversation on this thread to the one on ltx tech. I saw this one and then noticed I was 4 pages behind with a completly different group of people over there. Since ltx tech is the go to place for shootout info I think we should move this topic there JMO. Not to mention after reading the posts in both threads the ltx one seems to have a better more productive attitude!

I was actually going to contact Hot Rod about our LTx event for the next year before I knew about this, If someone does get it going I will contact them to see if they would like to come out and be part of it, maybe even do a clip on their show. They have clips of small tracks, like that one farmer in Tennessee, so why not our event, especially running from a stock car up to 8sec beast like Tony S..

Wow just seen this now. Tony & Kyle I totally understand and respect your decision. It has been a good run and I hope it's not over but I would personally like to thank you and Kyle for the three great years I was able to attend and it was a pleasure meeting you both.
