March is perfect, just gotta bamboozle some friends to roll with me

 

TRY HARDER! It will be over 4,000 round trip for us and we are planning on going!

I am even going to call mad man this week so I can hook the car BEFORE teh 60ft mark

 

See you there Neal





About time the lt's get a little spot light.

 

Point proven. Some only will go if it is in their back yard.

 

March *might* make it a little more possible, but I still doubt it. I don't really have enough time off to do this plus other plans I have for my vacation time this year.

I love Florida but it sucks getting anywhere out of state when you live in South Florida.. takes forever just to get out of this state!

 

We live in the Seattle area

 

Multiple locations (2) may be a good idea. If more people will come to a closer location to them, why not. I think the class breakdown will have a big affect too. Lets say you have a 11 sec. power adder and there is only 1 power adder class. With heavy hitters like Big Rick, Tony, Tanner, and others, is it going to be worth your while to drive 12+ hours and know you are not going to be competitive. I know some will say " there will probably be index classees" but its not the same as heads up racing. I am going to try to come regardless. I am lucky in the fact that I am relativley close to a central location (7 hours or less) but if the one and only race was in Texas or Vegas, I don't think I could afford the trip (I will probably have to a rent a trailer and possible a truck too.) Maybe we could do a poll on who would be more willing to come if the race was at 2 locations. Example- Vegas and Bowling Green. Just a thought.

 

I think a lot of guys are racing just on the principal of having an LT1 event, who cares who wins, it would just be cool to see other people as demented as us who stuck with their LT1s

 

Because I have a power adder and I have an extra 30 Cubes I will be in the big boy class. Not a snow ***** chance in hell to win mind you but I will go

 

What about Wichita International Raceway in Kansas? Anyone know anything about that track?

Here is the replied email from them:

Tony - sounds great - you are looking at about $2000 - that's for a saturday race date. It would be less for a sunday or friday event date - just let me know - thanks - Wayne Roberts 316-###-###8


So at this track the rental is $2000.00. Does that sound reasonable to everyone? Could we have enough participants to cover this fee? What is the track like? Plenty of pit area...etc. What do you guys think?

 

Well assuming at least 40 people attend, that would be $50 each, not too bad.

 

Tony, some of the local bracket racers have been up to Witchita, and said it was a real **** hole. Do you want me to ask about the Tulsa track? The cars would have to pass IHRA tech, but it is easier than NHRA.

 

I know at least a few Sponsers have already said they were in

 

I sent Jeff from KCIR an e-mail to have him contact someone from here. Unfortunately I do not work there this week, but I will be there this weekend for the Super Chevy show, and will try to hit him up then if he is not busy.

 

I'd go...If we are looking at next year I might even pull the motor this winter

I live outside of Chicago.

 

Hey Carri, nice to see you around.

 

Ed go ahead and find out about the Tulsa track if you will.

 

If we can get this thing centralized, I dont think it'd be hard to come up with $2k..Now if everybody follows through with what they say, is another story

 

I am a man of my word and I already made my pledge!

 

$2k is more then reasonable. As long as its a good track/pit area.

Im still a sitting duck on these emails.

Ellis, I saw you called. You free tonight to chat?

Tony.
