Re: BG Gathering 2007 Drag Racing Poll
so get out there and drum up your buddies to COME ON OUT.
friday also has some callaway stuff on the schedule, so it might hurt some participation and it steps on toes as we are trying to make this a ZR-1/Callaway/GS gathering for all the clubs to get the participation numbers up and also enjoy the other marques. Callaway cranked out alot of nice ZR-1s in the day so let's bury the hatchet. they are all cool corvettes and the unity doesn't hurt does it???
we are trying to get enough people to step up and rent the track so it's US with time to run, gun and have fun. this will take some help to get those that haven't done it to step up and give it a try.
extending this invite out to the callaway and GS might help us make our numbers. I'm in for Wed guys, but we need to come up with 2 large to pull it off.
that's quite a few folks coming down early and we need to bust a muv.
if you've never run the zr-1 at the digs. come out, it's a blast and alot of fun. the car is durable and with some coaching, you won't be in too much jeopardy. drive it like you stole it and NOT get busted, where else are you going to do that???
I also hope some folks will come "hang out" on Sat and watch the drags.
if you've never seen the big boys run you are in for a treat. these are low 7 high 6 second machines that go like nobody's biz. not exactly top fuel, but very exciting.
get em out there folks. Uly and the team has been busting hump to make this happen.
lets get some drags at the gathering. put up the $$$!!
we also talked about registry sponsoring some $$. I vote NO because it's using club money when many folks could care less about the digs.
if you guys disagree, we'll put it up for vote on the BOD (board of directors). but I'm sure not going to back a 2k expense so a few folks can run their cars. it's not fair to the club or in our best interests.
Like to hear some feedback there. I'm recommending we just try and go out there and get enough people to split the cost for an afternoon.
2k / 40 is actually 50 per head. but we could make a ton of runs in that timeframe. or if less people are willing to pay a bit more, we GO!!!
the more we get the lower the cost per head.
Uly.
let's email hutch and chris. I'll get that word out and copy this text. the only way to pull this off is to get the word out and get the participation numbers up. I've only seen about 20-30 folks step up to run in the years when we had the digs, so it's a big marketing job to hit 50 folks. we can do it!!
2007 at the Gathering. get the word out, please register, and consider this poll. I think it would really be a great time.
keep the rpms and the shiney side up.
