I have been working to get this done....all I need is your support now!

Location: Shannonville
Date: Sept 12/03
Time:TBD
Cost: approx. $100
Safety: Helmets required (if you don't got one I'll get you one!http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I have arranged to have the track for the entire day as long as I can get approx. 10 people to go from the club. The more people that go the lower the price will go.

I have "Ken" from IPC (honda/acura beside Art of Noise in Brampton) on board with his boys plus a bunch or our mutual friends. What better way to spend a Friday then at the track.

I am giving lots of notice so people can plan ahead as far a work schedules go or plan their (sickness) accordingly.

Please be swift in your responses if possible since I need to come up with 1/2 down payment and I do not wished to get burned on this.

TIME FOR THE 1/4 MILE AND AUTO X TO UNITE AS ONE AND WHIP SOME HONDA ASS!

What would be the situation if we want to just come and watch - i mean, a fatass in a stock P5 isn't gonna tear anything up except the snack bar.

count me in for this one

and allow me to offer something to the ppl who might not wanna show up.....

the biggest thing is a chance to beat me.... cuz im slow

and then a 24 pack of poweraid and a poweraid jacket to the fastest "na" car. compliments of your prez tax

also the slowest car can get one of the cleaning products from dave wood mazda as i have a window cleaner so u can tell the difference between the green and the red on the tree... or some detailer so that your can can glide around the track all day nice and shiny or some wheel cleaner i think i got one of them too

oh yea a tpc t shirt for second and 3rd place

Hmm .. Madshrap makes a good point.

What is the policy with passengers?

I am sure there are people who may enjoy some ride-alongs for a few laps even if they don't want do put their own car to the test.

I would like to come, I have a stock car though. I just want to test myself, driving skill wise, so I can improve. Basically compete against myself.

I have never been to one of these things, but meeting Tax makes me feel a bit more comfortable now to actually try it and see if I like it.

Is that cool with you folk? If so I am in, mark me down and tell me when you need the coin for it.

Mind you with vinyl 'TYPE R' seat covers, I might have the edge I need to whoop you.

*FYI: This MAY become the official September event*

Just some Q's:
-$100/person? or for the club?
-cost for watching? (as I wont be racing)
-approximate how much time? (all day? at night? etc)

Post the details and PM me aswell....

Per person.

I'm in if I can get the day off work. I'll finish off my Azenis there! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Wow,

Glad to see so much iterest! I will try to answer some questions:

-$100 per person approx (depends on # of participants.)

-Ride alongs are cool but the passenger needs a helmet

-If you are coming but not racing.........I will have to see if this becomes an "official event". If it does then I will have to talk to the officers about that.

-as for the track layout...I know them as the "Pro" and "Standard" layouts so I will have to get back to you on that

-this will probably be an early morning departure from here so that we can maximize our track time and allow for "set up" before we race. I am flirting with the idea of two pre-meets.......one for the early birds and one later on in the AM at least after rush hour. More info on this to come....
I know many people have lots more questions so I ask that you be patient as the officers make there decisions and the final details are ironed out. I will try my best to answer as many questions as possible.

Note: This is open to every club member...new or old, experienced or rookie it doesn't matter just come out and have fun and enjoy your Protege to the fullest. Don't be intimidated by the fact that more experienced drivers will be there....they know what they are doing and not only will they respect you for showing up but they will give you tons of helpful tips as well!

Thought you might be interested in this one Mike!!! I have to admit....you AutoX guys are really coming through on this one! I just hope that I get the numbers that I need.

If we don't get the numbers here, I'm sure we can extend the search a bit (rx-7 guys, maybe more autocrossers). Pleas hurry with the details. I'm excited and want to book the day off work! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

August 13th, 2003, 06:59 AM

I'll go too! Can I bring a Talon and a Type-R?

We've kinda got a score to settle..... This would be a great opportunity.

hondakilla

August 14th, 2003, 03:49 AM

I suggest that anyone who is interested please book the time off......this is going to happen one way or another that is a guarantee!!!

Anyone in the club is welcome and to get the numbers I will even suggest that friends are welcome as well!

As for what car you can run.......thats totally up to you. Although I would love to see only Proteges there I will not regulate what cars are coming. You are paying for the use of the track and its not my decision as to what you bring. My goal is and always will be to have FUN first and never sweat the small stuff.

Hell....I might even bring my Talon as well as my P5!

I will ask other boards to come ONLY if I feel the club won't be able to make a big enough showing. If this is to be an "official event" then it doesn't seem appropriate to bring in other boards to support it unless absolutely neccessary. Thanx for the idea though.....I have considered that route as well.

Keep the feedback coming!

I'll try to make this one, although, I don't really have the money for it... So hurry up everyone, come out and take part. The more the merrier, and more people = less money!!! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

Should it not be $100 per CAR, I don;t think people will pay a C note to just watch.

If it was per vehicle, then I believe more will attend, as they might have a friend or someone to tkae allong, who wants to come but not pay the $100.

I'm sure my wife would love to take my car for a shag, but she wouldn't pay just to come up for one spin.

Also, did you mention our time slot, all day...meaning...all day?

Also, isn't Shanonville a 1/8th mile?

Actually, I doesn't...jerk! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I know the postings say $100 per PERSON, but I was suggesting that it should be per CAR, as it might get more people out who want to bring someone, as I said. I also know that this is not up to us, but up to the people who run/rent the track.

Also, nothing is said about time. I know early AM is usually too early for me, but I was wondering when do we have to give up the track. I've been to a few bike events there, and they ended somewhat early.

I believe Scot means is that it's $100 per RACER. He hasn't put up a price (if there is one) for spectators. If you're bringing one car and two drivers, then thats pritty ghetto...bring two cars or wait until more info is given out.

I wasn't trying to pull a scam, what I means was that my wife would come out to watch for the most part, and I'm sure she would like to go out for a try, but not expect to pay $100.

When it said $100 per person, I thought it meant, per person, not per racer.

All I know is, they need to build a Tim's closer to the track for those early races.....
