The location wont appease every ones individual wants, I would like to see one big national event. Just gotta weigh it out, get a feeler and move from there.

Tony,

Far as boars go, CZ28.com, 'Tech, Vette forums and the major Impala forums all we need, no need to go post on smaller boards when most people read the major ones. But branching out to the other LT1 guys only helps for a larger event and makes things more feasible.

I love it Tony!

What about Vegas? Do it at the strip!

All I would need is advanced notice and some one with a local Nitrous station or better yet a N2O sponser Seeing how I suck a ten pound N2O bottle dead every two passes and I only have Five of them

I suppose I would need to put the car at least half way back together also

Im still trying to stick to the single race idea. It will be more apealing to sponsors/magazines etc...

Lets get some more LOCATIONS and PEOPLE and see where it goes.

If everything goes my way in the next 3 or so weeks and the event is in Memphis or Bowling Green, that is do-able for me.

Do we have to pass tech? My belts are out of date

I am in Mobile Ala

I will be their if its not to damn far and I have enough notice to get some time off from work. I'm in Maryland. I'm sure I could get a sponsor or two lined up if the event is a go. I will also hit up Scott at GMHTP I owe him an Email anyway. One thing you need to consider is the cost of the track St Louis is very expensive Memphis is reasonable. To make this legit we need 150 cars and that is hard to do these days especially when you only allow lt1s. I would love an LT1 only event but this will be tough to pull off.

Why dont we do a LT1 showcase instead of a LT1 showdown?

Classes and all that yada yada.


Get three passes or so, showcase the car, show the LT1 is not dead. I guarantee you, these cars are gonna raise some eyebrows

Lots of good ideas. Jeff is right we will need about 120+ cars to show up. Keep opinions coming.

We are in. Location doesn't matter. We have been waiting for something like this since we started building this car. My only concern is when? I still have a few issues to work out and get licensed which should take place within the next month. Any ideas about a date?

P.S. I vote for a 6 speed outlaw class

I would definately be in, as long as I can get off work. I live in Oklahoma. If it were to happen, I think regional groups should meet and drive in together (like the LSX shootout).
