Track Rental @ 2002 Reunion

[Charley Lillard]

So If I bring one of my Pro Touring Camaro's I can't run it down the track ?:-(

I think it would be great to incorporate more track time into the event. I enjoyed going to the track at the 2001 Reunion and I'm guessing there were at least 20 cars that made a pass?? With the inevitable lines and oil downs that often occur under the best conditions it's doubtful anyone could ever get more than 2-3 runs in.

By renting the track for 1/2 a day a smaller group could probably get as many runs as you wanted. Logistically it would be difficult to accomplish the show and the drags in a single day as the 2001 event was able to do as it's doubtful the track could be economically rented on a Sat. evening. Also, I don't think many would really want to run their cars prior to the show on Sat. morning/afternoon. That leaves Sunday morning as the most logical time to run at the track and would still allow everyone to leave on Sunday afternoon to head home or stay until Monday morning.

Maybe the best thing to do is see if the track could be rented for part of Sunday, and if so, what the cost would be. Then based on interest from everyone it would be easy to tell if it would be feasible to go it alone or if it be necessary to partner with another small local group.

Rob, you had mentioned incorporating an outdoor musclecar show into the Reunion weekend and between the Supercars and some of those participants it might work.

I haven't had the new acquisition to the track and in fact haven't picked it up yet, but Joel Rosen used to guarantee 11's or your money back which means I might make it into the 12's with my driving skills. :-)

Charley, so what is this new toy you've got and will it be at the '02 Reunion? Kevin, it'd be great to see the '69 Nickey on the track or we could pair up our '71 BM's.

Just after that reunion this year, I was driving around killing time on Sunday and came across another race track, about the same distance away from the convention center. I don't recall the name but it's nice to know there are alternatives around.

charley: car, what car?

It would be great to have another venue for those inclinded to run their Super Cars. 2 or three runs would just tease me to the point of frustration. Heck,it takes me three runs just to dial in my wife's stock C5.

I know that everyone will not want to participate but I'm certain there will be enough willing participants to spread the financial reponsibility.

I know that a Super Car Track Day would get more of my Car Buds, to make the trek than the show aspect.(just my experience)

While I enjoy looking at Super Cars, I would rather watch them race and more so enjoy racing others with Super Cars, regardless of the outcome.

Also, if correct Super Car Clones can't participate, what about other legit Muscle cars that are not Super Cars?

Define clone. Rob had asked me to bring my white car with the ZL-1 in it to make a few passes. Especially if I get it down in the high 11 range. I told him I did'nt think I should because it is a clone ZL-1. Engine part #'s are correct and it is certified. He reminded me that it is a original supercar, as it is originally a iron 427 COPO car. So what's the opinion?????????clone or forgivable clone??
