Id love to see more track days, but i think we should start having a wider variety of track days too

Even though i love Drag racing, maybe a road course day on occasion would be a nice change of pace? most of our cars arent the best for road courses but still can be lots of fun

I spoke with Beth and she says they are booked until Nov. But she said I could rent the track and in Nov/Dec. (Fontana)

So I was thinking about another private track rental, without all the other stuff just racing.

My thinking was 1. Invite all the invasion sponsors to showcase (no charge, get a little extra mileage)
$60 to race
175-185 cars max. TNT all day

Its a break even deal.

I sure hope so! I love drag too, but just cuz we're GM, doesn't mean EVERY owner out there is set up for drag only. I personally think auto x would be the $hit. And a great change of pace.

Dont forget the rest of us without LSx's!

Carlsbad used to have "Late Model Muscle Car" drag racing where it was bracket racing for fuel injected cars only. I'd love to see that happen again at Fontana or Famoso. Irwindale is ok, too.
