Looking at Little Taladega. 9 people maximum.

If we do a weekday its going to be about $112 a person. Weekend rates still being negociated. We currently have 6 empty spots of people who want to do it and are all pretty flexible on the date.

Any desire?

What time frame.....June, july, Aug?

I think a track day on July 4 would be a spectacular way to celebrate our freedom and get a nice discounted rate! And most people have it off by default.

Wanna sell them ?

My Track car is checking up rims from a ball joint problem which can only be solved by bigger wheels :( Buying new wheels just doesnt appear to make any sense

I'm in if on a monday or tuesday. Got some tires I need to chew up.

'Lil Tally is a bit longer and repaved since most of us have seen it. A buddy said it's almost 2 miles long now but I don't think it's that long.

I'll go. If it is sometime in august, Im pretty sure I won't have started school. Let me know the exact date and I can give you a 100% yes, but until then I'm about 99% sure I'll go.

Any chance of moving this up to June instead of waiting until August?

I only need a few people to close out my event. It appears that theres enough people on here to do another one entirely..

Honestly I think if you did one once a month at $50 more a person you'd close the event everytime.

only 3 cars allowed on track at a time. So basically your looking @ a pool of 20 cars which breaks into 7 groups.. I wouldnt want to wait that long between runs.

10 FTW.

Mike and I were talking about doing this last week, we want to run his SE36 Vs. my ITS car so will be nice to know some dates I will be down for anyday of the week but I'm going out side of the U.S. again so if it's in August I'll sing up. If it is on July I have to see if i'm in town.

Lots of days open in June: http://www.tgprace.com/2007dates.htm :ponder

Weekdays are better for me, plus the rental fee is less $$$.

I'm willing to ride with people as needed. lead/follow works too.

I'd also encourage anyone interested in doing DE's or any track stuff to attend some autocrosses before the track event. Car control clinics are a very good idea too. (plus that means lots of fun activities like skidpad and such.)

only 3 cars allowed on track at a time. So basically your looking @ a pool of 20 cars which breaks into 7 groups.. I wouldnt want to wait that long between runs.

10 FTW.
What seemed to work best the last few times (which, again, was 10 cars, not 20) was to have 3 on track, and a "line" of cars waiting. It'll start out with a long-ish line, but if you keep it to 15-20 minute stints at first, the line shrinks. usually by just after lunch time, there's either no line, or at times even only 1-2 cars on course. People (as well as the cars) get tired. 20 may be a stretch, but 10 is easy to do this with.

No, I really can't spend the whole weekend at the track right now. Breaking ground on our new house in June.

completely missed what I was saying. Yes 20 cars FTL but If we did an event at L.T every month it would fill..everytime.I.M.O..even for $50 more for what that 10 of us are being charged now
