Thats right folks. TCG will be hosting its 2nd Annual Track Day on Sunday, October 12th at Cordova Dragway (www.cordovadrag.com) in Cordova, IL. This will be a FULL TRACK RENTAL, which is a first for us.
RACING STARTS AT 11AM WITH GATES OPENING AROUND 1030. We have the track to ourselves for a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 5 depending on weather, number of cars, etc. Come expecting to get a ton of runs in
Cordova has a BOP event scheduled for the 11th for those interested in attending. The rain day for their event is the 12th. SHOULD the rain day be used, either full refunds will be given or Cordova will work something out w/ me. We DO NOT have a rain date.
Pricing
Racers - $35
Spectators - $10
Payments can be made to me via paypal ([email protected]), money order or personal check (please pm me for address). If paying by paypal, please be aware the fees involved with those greedy pricks is 2.9% + $0.30 USD (payment of $35 is subject to approx $1.30 in fees so please pay accordingly).
PAYMENTS ARE DUE BY SEPTEMBER 30TH (I gotta cover my ass
)
If you have a friend that wants to come to the event, FORCE HIM/HER TO JOIN THE SITE AND REGISTER. I dont care if they decide to never visit again, but I would like each attendee to at least put their name in this thread.
