its pinned now, last year we went with our convoy leaving from the Lincoln Oasis and met up with some Indy guys about halfway there, i would like to leave early thursday

 

[BLK00GTP]

Thursday is a good idea since the track opens at 8:30 till 5pm for test & tune.

Hotel info is now up. The only thing missing is the schedule of events. IE times racing begins. Practice and tuning is friday..Racing is Saturday...but does it continue till sunday as well? We should start planning rooms etc.

Amerihost Inn & Suites Norwalk
415 Milan Ave
Norwalk, OH 44857
419-663-1922
The room rate is $40.00 a night. You MUST mention that you are with INTENSE Drag Day™, group code "DRAG" for the discount.

The fifth INTENSE Drag Day™ (IDDV) is scheduled for Friday, April 16, 2004. Our venue of choice is once again Norwalk Raceway Park - which many consider to be the best track in the midwest. Trust us - it's worth taking a day off work to race at this place!

There are a total of five 3800 FWD race classes so everyone can compete with cars at their own level. This should give everyone a fair shot at the awards, and also increase the total number of prizes. All 3800-powered FWD cars are welcome for this full day of head to head racing in six separate classes, plus some bracket racing has been added in to make things even more interesting.

The gates will open at 8:30 a.m., and we have the track to ourselves for UNLIMITED PASSES between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. There will be several thousands of dollars worth of prizes paid out to more than a dozen winners. IHRA safety rules will apply (helmet for 13.99 and faster, roll bar for 11.49 and faster, etc.).

I dont think there is racing saturday. Only friday.

 

[BLK00GTP]

It almost sounds like practice is on the 16th because it says UNLIMITED PASSES between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Maybe im wrong...

 

[ThaLord]

whoever is thinking about going to spectate... c'mon.. you gotta race... let's see what your cars can do.. woman.. men.. GT's, GTP's.. let's show them that ILGPC has a force..!!

 

[Fish]

Im all over it like flies on rice dung.

 

[BLK00GTP]

We need a good showing for ILGPC.

We also need a schedule of events.

Well I drive whatever I have by then no matter what is done to it, just to 'represent".

I was just gonna spectate but I need all the track experience I can get wheither or not I have a car that is modded much. I just don't want to break a differential or a trans before I have the money to buy an intense one.

I wont have to worry about that with few mods right?

btw i'm planning on having a gtp by then unless something comes up.
