Kansas would be good with us!

Im going to push for a Central Locations guys, because the majority of people 'are' from TX. So we have to try and accomedate to have others attend.

Kansas is looking good.

It really doesn't matter as long as the place is centralized to the majority of participants. Obviously not everyone will be happy and it will be a longer trek for some than others.

We will come no matter where it is.

St Louis and Memphis seem like the best choices IMO. Memphis is not horribly expensive to rent out, it is a wonderful facility, and food and lodging are right down the road

i think this would be great, it would be nice to see the fastest LTX cars show up and show that LTX's are still strong contenders, even though most guys have moved on to the LSX cars. my only problem is that i have no car to put my little motor in. but still if it can happen just once then it would happen again and that would make me step into another LTX style f-body and get into racing again.

Don't you know that every track is centrally located when it's within ~50 miles of your house?

Both of those tracks are in the central part of the country bro. Listed under Central Standard Time. Im not just saying that because they are close. They are still a good distance away from me.

I like that idea. Here's my question: WHEN? A timeframe would be nice, as I'm really only a couple week thrash (and a lot of money) from having my car together. Both of which can be worked around if it comes down to it. If the timeframe is good I would most likely be there wherever it is.

Looks like there is plenty of interest to do this event. Now we need to look at the above said tracks schedules and see if and when there is an opening for it.

I thing tonight im going to send emails to a few tracks in the selected states, see what they say.

IMHO, I think this could work. I see at least 15 (including myself) that are 100% down.

Tony.
