Supra/Z/RX7 event! Oct19: Road course. Oct20: 1/4 dragstrip w/ mobile dyno & car sho

This might be the next biggiest Import event!!

Hope some of you could make 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:

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!

I'm on jackstands right now. I should be put back together tonight if my wheel bearing comes in today but I don't think I'll be able to make the event on time.

Is this just a once a year shot? I'd love to make it next time.
