Here is the updated event information with hotel details, and fixed race track links. Since I cannot edit the first post, if a moderator could please copy/paste this text into the first post, I would appreciate it!
Hey everyone! This is just a quick thread to give everyone a 'heads-up' about a new bi-yearly (spring and fall) Supra / RX7 / 300ZX / Skyline event hosted by www.SpeedForSale.com with over $1300 in cash prizes... I will post up full details, hotel info, website link, and other info in the next week or so, but if you want to register for any of the events NOW you can call 770-777-4774 or email me (blackwell@speedforsale.com) as everything is already set in stone!!
Friday, Oct. 19 I have rented the road course 'Little Talladega' (www.TPGrace.com) with everyone getting a FREE experienced instructor to ride along with them all day for only $125/car (paypal sales@speedforsale.com, waiver will be posted soon) with 40 spots available. Our last road course event booked up all 40 spots FIVE WEEKS before the event, so register now if you want to enter!
Also, with the insurance we purchased we do have authorization from Talladega to go ahead and 'officially' time laps for the top run group(s) if we choose to do so. So, we may go ahead and give a cash prize to the fastest lap of the day as well. If we do so, it will be toward the end of the day when there is ALWAYS 'free time'. This is the time when 90% of the entrants are done beating on their cars and stop, and you have one small run group that runs at will. We'll then choose the top 3 Supra/RX7/Skyline/300ZX that we've noticed are running the fastest and have them all do an individual 3 lap session (warm up and 2x timed laps) and the fastest solo timed lap wins. This will only take about 25-30 minutes or so, and it won't dig into anyone's track time!
Saturday, Oct. 20 will be at Steele 1/4 mile drag strip ($15/person) with a mobile dyno ($50/car) and car show (FREE) in the parking area! Also, there will be a $50 raffle for every Supra, RX7, 300ZX, & Skyline in attendance (even if you don't participate!) Dragstrip website here: www.AlabamaInternationalDragway.com
We will offer CASH prizes ($200 1st place, $100 2nd place, $50 3rd place) for the best Supra/RX7/300ZX/Skyline's in these areas:
- quickest 1/4 mile time
- fastest 1/4 mile MPH
- Top 3 highest horsepower cars on the dyno
- Top 3 cleanest / best put together cars in the car show
- $50 raffle ticket given to EVERY Supra, RX7, 300ZX, & Skyline that comes through the gate at the dragstrip, even if you don't participate!
The hotel is a NICE NEW Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites ($84/night) that is just off the interstate 1.5 hour west of downtown Atlanta in Pell City, Alabama, and only 25-30 minutes away from both the dragstrip and road course. This will be a very easy drive for everyone to the hotel and all events!
Here are pictures of the hotel and info:
http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/...ilsearch&ias=y
To reserve your room, call 205-884-0047 and tell them you are with the 'Speed For Sale.com event' in October.
YOU MUST RESERVE YOUR ROOM BEFORE OCTOBER 3 TO GET THE $84/NIGHT DISCOUNT, OTHERWISE IT'S $109/NIGHT!
Instead of doing another 'Supra Shootout' event, we have decided to host an event for any Supra, RX7, 300ZX, & Skyline! We will also allow ANY car model to run at the drag strip and dyno as time permits. Also, any road course spots not filled 45 days before the event will be open to ANY car model. Regardless of what car you bring, EVERYONE and ANYONE is welcome to attend to watch the events and hang out! FULL DETAILS COMING IN THE NEXT WEEK!

Here is this year's event:
OCTOBER 24-25, 2008:
2008 "GT-R Nationals" & "SpeedForSale Shootout" Events (Held simultaneously)
Spectators welcome!
These two events will be held simultaneously, with all cars together at the various events. The 'GT-R Nationals' event (sponsored by NissanGTRclub.com) will feature 2009 Nissan GT-R R35 cars competing against each another, and the 'SpeedForSale Shootout' will involve all Supra, RX-7, and 300ZX cars. There will be at least $2000-$3000 in cash payouts, with event payout break-downs coming by the end of March. The events will consist of a road course time attack AND driving instruction event on Friday. Saturday consists of a quarter-mile drag strip (heads-up and test-n-tune) with a mobile dyno and car show in the parking area. The cars that enter the cash payout events must meet certain criteria to be considered 'STREET' cars (no solid rear axles, tubs, major frame/structure modifications, and more restrictions available via email.) The hotel is centrally located about 20 minutes from the road course and 45 minutes from the drag strip just off of I-20 (1.5 hour west of Atlanta.)
Friday, Oct. 24, 7:00am - 6:00pm CENTRAL time: We have once again rented the road course 'Little Talladega' (www.TGPrace.com), but this time we have paid full insurance for a TIME ATTACK / RACE event! However, most of the day will be a road course driver's education event with everyone getting a FREE experienced instructor to ride along with them all day for only $99/car for Nissan GT-R, $150/car for Supra, RX7, 300ZX, and $155/car for all other models...THERE ARE ONLY 40 SPOTS AVAILABLE SO REGISTER NOW BY CLICKING HERE OR CALLING 770-777-4774 (CREDIT CARD add 2%, PAYPAL add 3%, Check or money order has no additional fee.) TO Sales@SpeedForSale.com! Please include your name, address, home AND cell phone numbers, car year/make/model, and number of road course events you have ran. New for this year's event we have hired an outsourced company for the three flagmen and pit-out marshal. One of our previous experienced class room instructors is handling the driver's education class room instruction so we (Chinchi/Corey/David/Jared/Jeremy/Nikki) can focus on other areas of the event.
Registration details and the event waiver/information packet will be posted by the end of March. A concession stand will be set up at the track, along with an one hour lunch break for all of us at the road course. When you register, you must fill out the fields for your full name, address, cell phone number, email, car year/make/model, how many times you've ran the new TGPR track, and how many total road course events you have completed. No refunds will be given within 30 days of the event date, however you can sell your spot to someone else. Also, with the insurance we have purchased we will be doing 'officially' timed laps, and will do so for the last few hours of the day in a controlled environment for selected GTR/Supra/RX7/300ZX cars. Please specify if you want to be on 'the list' of potential cars invited to join the time attack. However, please realize that not everyone who requests to run the time attack will be able to run, as we will be on a tight scedule! We will determine who is invited to participate based on the driver's skill level and car potential, among other criteria. Last year's winner was Chris in the red RX7! Each car in the TIME ATTACK / RACE event will have 3 individual lap sessions (warm up lap and 2 timed laps), and the top 3 fastest times win a cash prize. SOLO RUNS ONLY! Safe competition is our goal, not door-banging! An ambulance with 2 paramedics will obviously be on hand the entire day.
Saturday, Oct. 25, 9:30am - 3:00pm CENTRAL time: The quarter-mile drag races (heads up & test-n-tune), mobile dyno, and car show events will be held at www.AlabamaInternationalDragway.com.
