Throwing an open track day at Horsethief Mile, April 4th

Anyone interested in a grip event at Horsethief Mile?

I'm holding an open track day on Saturday, April 4th, 2009. The goal is to have 20 drivers, in 2 groups of 10 each...although if a couple more people want to come out, we can squeeze them in. Each group will get 4 hours of track time in 30 minute sessions.

We had an event in December of '07, Fris and Andrew came out and I'm sure they'd agree that it was a super chill event with lots of track time. Hopefully Fris's engine holds together this time if he joins us again.

All cars will have to pass basic tech inspection at the track...a checklist will be provided upon registration. We will have flaggers and fire/rescue on standby.

Registration fees are $155 (PayPal fee included), due no later than March 20th. Fees are refundable until that time.

If interested send me a PM and I'll give you my PayPal. Hope to see some of you out there!

We'll just give it a push, soapbox derby style.

Or you can bring the truck.

At 20 people and $150 a person, its barely enough to cover the track fees. But we may lug the BBQ out there and cook up some carne asada & burgers.

I'll be at this event with Eddie. He's gonna pay you before the March 20th deadline Glenn, so you can count on us being there. (I'm just watching though. I can bring some burgers or hotdogs to fire up though. )

Glenn, if my motor is done by the end of this month, I think I can squeeze in a break-in before apr 4. Might be cutting a lil close. This is if everything's dandy come a week prior.

If you bring a BMX helmet you need to run your BMX.

You can do the break in on the drive to the track. That's how I've always done it LOL...actually the first time I took the FC to the track, Dave and I had just rebuilt the engine and the break in miles were from my house to the Streets. The car ran perfect for me.

Anyways if you make it, that'd be sweet.
