National LT1 Shootout!
That price is outrageous for an event like this.
On th base' of knowing that its not going to be a huge turnout and people that say they will show wont. Not pointing fingers, but thats how it goes.
We need to find a track within a reasonable budget if we choose to pursue this.
As for GMHTP, I stated in the previous thread that we are going to have to organize ourselfs then confront the media with the oppurtunity to get coverage.

Yea I have been to some of the Thunder Shootouts at NPR. Was always an awesome event. I think NPR would be much cheaper but that track is not centralized. I will call Jeff or Angie and get some ideas. Thanks David.

"piggy Backing" the event is the way to go. THen all you really need to do is get with the track and Schedule it. That is how we setup our serise at each track. This year we had grown enough to setup two seperate points serise at each track.
We have had good luck setting up stuff like this durring Test and tune days or track points event days
Food for thought

I'd love to attend, meet some people and see some really fast LT1's
I know this is probably too far East but has anyone though of Cecil County Dragway. Its a small friendly track which could possibly work. Its nothing like Maple Grove but it is still a really nice track. Just a thought.

We're still in assuming it's in the spring.
Just ditched the T56 for a semi clutchless vertical gate shifted G-Force GF5R 5 speed with a McLeod soft-lok clutch and am in the process of assembling.

I will let you guys know. Also Jeff please keep us posted.
