Finalizing a date for an event.....

All,

I'm finalizing a date for a big exotic event I'm putting together. Wanted to take an early temperature as to if there are any dates that absolutely won't work for people in the event that I could work around them.

May/June - what dates are "out" for you guys?

My apologies in advance if I end up picking a date that you stated didn't work. I'm just trying to make the most people happy, if even possible.

Last event I did here had 50+ exotics. Looking to beat that number. Will have goodie bags, a raffle, etc. And the price will be right.....Free.

;-)

Last one. 8 years ago. Can't believe I was in Cali that long.

 

Assuming you mean weekend dates...

May 10 (Saturday), and 16-18 (Friday-Sunday) are out

June 7 (Saturday), 15 (Sunday), 22 (Sunday), and 27-29 (Friday-Sunday) are out

It's always a challenge to find a date that can accommodate a large group of busy people!

 

Holy smokes Bill that looked like fun and hopefully I can join in the fun! hmm and after seeing the pics I have the taste for wings now, but fortunately I work 2 min from Quaker Steak lol.

Here's the meat & potatoes of my race/event calendar together and good lord its going to be a busy summer! BUT.. that's quite ok!

Karting race schedule:
April 26 & 27 Norway, Illinois
June 7 & 8 MRP - North Liberty, Indiana
July 12 & 13 - Dousman, Wisconsin
August 2 & 3 - New Castle, Indiana
September 6 & 7 - Springfield, Illinois

Road America event dates:
May 3-4 MFBA
Jun 19 Pirelli World Challenge
Jun 22 Optima Battery Streetcar challenge
Jul 11-13 Ferrari Challenge (conflict already w/ my race)
Jul 17-20 HAWK vintage
Aug 7-10 TUDOR

 

I was just on the Road America website checking out those dates this morning. I will definitely be attending the Ferrari Challenge as well as the Brian Redman. Can't wait.

You have quite the karting schedule. Of course you can join

 

Thanks Bill and with the 3 karts that we race- my g/f and her brother racing as well in the same class its quite the operation during those weekends, and the between race maintenance is crazy. We'll have them at RA too several times this summer testing and probably for a few night races.
I really don't want to miss the Ferrari event since the FCA 50th last Aug was such a blast.

 

125 shifters?

 

That would be tons of fun but its a 100cc In the Komet Sr class. There is no shifter class in the series I'm in and actually there's not too much shifter action in north America anymore as compared to Europe. The 'hot' class is the TAG, which is still a 125 but no shifting. Whats cool is that my Merlin chassis does have the mounting points to be run as a shifter and for a short time it was one by a previous owner.

A shot of me....

Looks fun!!

 

It is and a heck of a workout! Downside of racing that thing is that the car now feels 'sloppy' when tracking it at RA lol! ...Problems 'normal' people don't have

 

Dates that won't work:

July 11-13 Ferrari Challenge @ RA
July 17-20 The Hawk @ Road America
Aug. 23-24 Milwaukee Masterpiece
Oct. 5 Lake Forest Super Cars Annual LFSC Concours d' Elegance

 

Those definitely won't work, as I will be attending all of those too! ;-)
