BG 2007 Planning - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

DDSLT5 · 12-14-2006

Okay - I got an email from Dallas and the NMCA have the track booked for that thursday as well. Unfortunately that means we would have to go along with them again, and of course only 3 runs again.

I don't feel like bothering with all that bs (and it is a lot of bs) just to get a few runs down the track. I want to be able to get a lot of runs and it just isn't going to happen on that weekend. There are no other 1/4 mile tracks close to BG, so that is off the list as well.

I vote we have the gathering another time such that we can rent the track for our own use. I know some guys don't care about running down the track, but frankly, the whole point of owning a performance car to me, is to see how it performs! It is just too damn agonizing to see all those fine cars and not drive 'em how they were designed to be driven. What can I tell ya?

because registration is open and many have made plans I honestly don't know how feasible it is to move this years gathering date.

that's a bummer about the track on thursday night. thanks for looking into this.

I'm with Dwight on this one, since then I could obviously make it....but as Ron said, that would screw things up for those that have already made plans. There's always next year I guess.

My wife and I are planning to make a trip out East in 2008. I would sure like to plan it around the Gathering. A later date would be great for this trip. Possibly Mid-June??? I am just curious if the weather would be good out that way around then?

BG can be a bit hot and humid even in late may but I also vote we look at moving the date.

dwight, email me about the NMCA thing. I saw an email that there is some sort of snit that NHRA has with the BG track and the NMCA thing might not happen which would be cool for us.

even if we only get in a few runs some may feel that some racing is better than no racing and I kinda dig watching the other cars too but agree it woudl be better if it is ZR-1 pure.

with the size of the group shrinking, BG may not be as accomodating.

time to get the word out so folks will make plans and show up. there is strength (and $$$) in numbers to incent them.

thanks!!

happy holidays. dreaming of burning rubber (and hopefully NOT the clutch)
