Great news! Jim Donahue is working out a deal @ Beach Bend and looks like we will get track time.

Details coming, but plan getting to the track!

David,

Let us know so we can make arrangements in time. When will we know?

Aurora40 · 02-03-2009

Yes, please let us know on the drag racing. I'll probably go anyway, but if the drag racing is during the week I'll need to change my hotel res. times as well as when I leave.

Dave,

Will you have room for my drag radials in your car?

Okay gang, THERE WILL BE DRAG RACING. The Buick GN folks have Beech Bend rented for the entire week but they are willing to let us crash their party. They have test and tune set for Wednesday, May 13, and we are welcome to jon them. There is not a firm schedule, and probably won't be, since it's a test and tune, not class eliminations. That means we should be able to make lots of runs, and can pick the cars we run against.

We will find out later this week how much they will charge us. They have been very courteous and I expect charges will be reasonable. I will post the charges as soon as I have that conversation with them.

At this point, we need to get a rough head count of racers so we can let the Buick folks know how much time we will need. Post up if you want to race.

Thanks for the good work Jim

Race day is Wed. ? Who were you talking too, the people at Beech Bend or the Buick group ?

zrss · 02-04-2009

I'm talking to the Buick group. They are holding their event at Beech Bend (not somewhere else in BG and then going over to the track for racing) so they have it rented all day, every day, May 12 through 16. Since they have the track we need to ask them for track time, not Beech Bend.
