As we have talked about in the past, we are going to rent NYI (New York International) for a day. Rich is the one that has expressed the interest in setting this up (thanks Rich), so I want to get a count of people who would DEFINATLY commit to this event. This would be for the end of April. We can rent the track for $500/day so that would be $50/person for the day if we had 10 guys (which we easily will). We have 8 definates already.

*Rich, if you would be willing I would also love to rent the track for a day in October too

Anyway here are the definates so far:

Rich + 3 guys from Kennedy's
Jason
Gary
Matt
Andy

Post here if you want to join so that we can get this event set up.

We are almost sure that NYI will give us a rain check, Rich is going to check this out to be sure though. How fun would it be to have the track to ourselves for a day WELL worth $50!

Thanks, Jason

 

Hey guys, you can count me in as well.

I will call Bob Metcalf this week and verify terms and policies. The pricing policy last year was $50/car with a 10 car (=$500) minimum. What would be ideal is discount for >10 cars. I would propose offering something like $40/car but guarantee twenty cars. I'll see what I can do.

Im in on one condition Someone has access to a trailer or AAA or something. I have a feeling the life of my 10 bolt will be short lived. But if I can get an 11 sec timeslip I really dont care.

 

I have AAA and a trailer!

I am interested. What day are you thinking of renting the track? On a Saturday, Sunday?

 

Hey I am definetely in.I dont know if the camaro will be back on the road by then,so would it be ok if I showed up in my Talon?Dont worry,its slow so I shouldnt be embarassing anyone,and it will give you guys a chance to easily hand an import its ***!!LOL not that much of you have any troubles doing that anyways,but this is as easy as it gets!Anyways,count me in!!!

 

Track rental info.

1. $50/car, 10 car minimum.
2. Rental is for 6 hours.
3. Start 10a-12n, any day there is no event scheduled.
4. Liberal rain check policy (prorated refund based on hours used/six hours).
5. Spectators are free.

I prefer a Friday, we can stay for "Test and Tune" if we want. So maybe begin at 11am-5pm. How about April 25th or May 2nd?

Rich Krause

 

Hey Rich, If it was on a Friday would we need to pay the night T&T fee also or would they let us include the night session with the $50?

Also, does the fee go down if we commit to more cars or does the track contine to charge $50 for each car over the minimum?

 

hey guys im from the NYC area, just wondering about how far away NYI is form the NYC area.

 

Hey guys I might be interested if I don't get rid of my car so I will let you all know by march or earlier.Prolly won't have a new a new car by then if it goes down the road to Johns house.I wouldn't mind ripping out a few 11 sec passes in it.

It's close to a 5-6 hour ride from NYC.

Later,Craig

 

We can stay for the T+T if I understood right, I will be sure to clarify when I call next time. Bob Metcalf seemed pretty inflexible about $50/car, but if we had a count I would try to bargain. IOW, if we had 20 cars I'd off $900, or something like that.
