3800 US-41 with INDYCGP!

GP98GT · May 18, 2004

Hey guys.. Im from Indy.. my names Matt.

I was talking with our club prez and we were talking about having a drag day a US-41 sometime before the summers completely over. It would be nice to have this event in the fall because of the lower temperatures, but many people have more time in the summer to do outings and such. (School starts in Aug. for many.) I was thinking that the first week of Aug would give plenty of time to plan the event. B)

We were thinking along the lines of any 3800 powered Regals, Montes, Impalas, and Grand Prix's (not just IndyCGP and ILGPC). I already talked to Zooom and he said he would be willing to throw down some goodies for the event. I'm sure it would't be too much of a challenge to get goodies from other vendors also. We could charge a small spectator fee or racing fee to cover the cost of the track and maybe 1st place trophies or whatever.

I think we could make this one of the better events if we put some time and effort into it.

Comments?

SIGN US UP... Many of us enjoy us41. We could also talk to other sponsors about ponying up some prizes.

Just be sure not to schedule it when GPG and IDD6 happens or the POntiac nationals. BEcause alot of us will be attending those events.

Keep us posted.

sounds good... been wanting to do this for a while...

GP98GT · May 18, 2004

Another idea that IndyCGP came up with at our latest meeting:

ILGPC and INDYCGP have a grudge bracket race on top of the other normal events (Just between IL and IN). Whichever club wins the bracket race gets a trophy. The next time IndyCGP and IlGPC meet at this particular event, that same trophy goes up for grabs again....

Gives us an exucuse to have a grudge match with you guys at least once a year.

aug 7-8 is poncho nats in Norwalk... :welcome: ill race anyone anywhere anytime.. :headbang: :mellow:

iliveonnitro · May 18, 2004

Oh God...Zoomer is coming? I enjoy the idea, but where does our sponsor come in? I wouldn't mind both of them showing up, but what about the unfortunate ZZP/Intense rivalry? We don't want anyone getting thrown out...

BTW, I like the idea of the bracket grudge match racing for ILGPC/INDYCGP where it is up for grabs every year.

How would the team grudge match work? Just whatever team goes further? Like pair cars up, and if you're eliminated, you cant race in the grudge anymore, and the other guy continues for their team? I like that idea, cause I can pull consistant times down to the hundredth.

alexgtp · May 18, 2004

ZZp and Intense will be at many events together.

GPG
NAtionals
ETC ETC!

BumpinGTP · May 18, 2004

i actually started looking into this awhile ago, problem is there are so many events to work around, im still all for it though and think it can be done. i also know of a couple sponsors that i have already discussed this with.

GP98GT · May 18, 2004

Zooomer told me he wouldn't be there and that he would just give up a few prizes depending on the size of the event.

Put all of one club in one lane, and all of the other club in the other. If one club has more racers then the other, they can chose who will race. Once that round is over, swap lanes and continue until one club has no racers left. Ideally it would go down to one car from each club, but it could also end up a lot more lop sided as well.

I like this idea, but the only problem would be that you would never see the trphy.

Caedo · May 19, 2004

Now this sounds like a great event!!!!!

Why didnt we think about it before, I always thought something like this would happen but with the cheese heads lol

But I think we have something here.

I am in!

2KREDGHOST · May 19, 2004

Fish · May 19, 2004

You will go. :lolsign: represent the GT's

LP 3800 · May 19, 2004

That should give me plenty of time to get my car together

Hopefully by then I will have a NOZ bottle so big in my trunk. that I have to bring the trophy home in my back seat, on my trailer. :lolsign:
I think the elimination you talked about is a great idea. I am in.
Thanks for coming over to our boards

GP98GT · May 19, 2004

Thanks for the welcome guys . . . .

BUT I do have a few questions for you. How many hours do you think we will need the track?

2-3 hours for normal racing?
1 hour for normal bracket racing?
1 hour for IL and IN bracket racing?

And how many people do you think we should expect to attend?

mybluegtp · May 19, 2004

If ILGPC goes it will be around 20+ cars, and why dont we just rent out the track? I'm sure we can help in some way. How about it guys?

GP98GT · May 19, 2004

Well, thats what we were planning on doing....

But they charge by the hour... (3 hour minimum)... and by how many people...

Plus--- we would have to up the cost a maybe a dollar or two to cover the cost of trophies.

GP98GT · May 19, 2004

Caedo · May 19, 2004

So does that mean the day is $500???

Juan

GP98GT · May 19, 2004

Well... for 5 hours and if we keep it to 25 people... $500 - I bet the only way we could do under 25 people is if we kept it only IN and IL. But we still might go over that 25 just between our two clubs...(maybe)... But if we did keep it low... I dont think we would need 5 hours really...

I would say 5 hours if we had maybe 30-40 cars...

Input?

mybluegtp · May 19, 2004

I think we might have over 30+ between both cars we can do a registration ahead of time and and we can use that to pay for the track and trophys.
