I know this might be bit early... but what you guys think about Fall DGRRX?? - Page 4

vincentrx7 · 04-20-2010, 09:35 PM

Hey Phil,
What about doing something like the "Speed4Sale" event or the Texas Supra event where 1 day was a track day at Talladega road course, 1 day a drag race at Steele and car show. Or add in a 60-130mph run or do an "Ultimate Street Car event" that might include an autocross and a 0-100-0mph event. I can get the device to clock those events. You could do them on the drag strip if it was rented. This way, no cops would get involved unless there was a little street action one night. This might be better suited for a smaller group! That do you think?

I thought about this many times.. I thought Speed4Sale did a good job but seems like they don't allow rotaries anymore and they are more into GTRs. I also talked to Edgar about doing some sort of 1/4 mile event and he said he could bring some high HP rotary guys...

Also, Zoomfest is in July for track so I'll try to check on it after zoomfest...

Can we take a quick vote as how many people would be interested in something like what Speed4Sale used to have?? track day, drag racing, and car show?? I could also work with local SCCA and see if we could do AutoX with local guys.. so schedule will be:

Friday - TGPR track day
Saturday - 1/4 mile drag
Sunday - AutoX

Thats funny as me an Ernie were just talking about this. We like the way Phil is running these but we need a track to do our things SAFE! No more tickets! We have cars made for the track (drag or auto X) so I vote we do one at a motorplex that has both a road and drag event! Come on Phil....

that would be awesome. and have a pdx option for the track day for those of us that do not have tt licenses

***Herblenny*** · 04-21-2010, 07:06 AM

Sounds like people are interested in three day madness??

OK.. Let me talk to some people... I been wanting to do some sort of event at TGPR and have checked it out before. Friday TGPR will be about 150-175/car, we could also have some sort of gathering and such. We could than do Steele, AL 1/4mile runs on saturday morning to day... but problem is if weather is bad, the whole event is a wash out for drag. I have to check and see if they have some sort of policy for rain out and also have some sort of alternate plan if it rains... Maybe a day of Barber Motorsport park bike museum tour??

And finally, AutoX.. Local Bham guys run Sunday AutoX. I think its 25-40 to do a day. Its held at a local dog track parking and there are ton of space to park at least 2-300 cars addition to autoX. I'll see if I can talk to someone about us just joining them.

All these locations are about an hour to 1.5 hours away from each other.

lt1_fd3s · 04-21-2010, 09:46 AM

so Phil, your idea is turning into various Track stuff in AL in early Oct?

***Herblenny*** · 04-21-2010, 10:09 AM

Tray, maybe both... or for next year.. I don't know.. its all just talk right now

Proxy One · 04-21-2010, 10:50 AM

Since im already doing zoomfest this year at TGP I think id rather see DGRR Fall be in the mountains again. Then next year explore the track day option.

staticpat · 04-21-2010, 11:02 AM

A replacement for the speedforsale event would be amazing. Maybe this could turn into something like the Supra guys' yearly Texas get together?

Since I didn't make Spring DGRR, I'm down for Fall DGRR.
