    Nick,
    I am sure we can get 10-15 cars from So. Ca. out to Az. Should be a great time of the year to go racing. Is the track close to the town of Surprise?

    The track is right next to the town of Suprise.

    If we have 25-30 local cars and 8-10 from Vegas, it should be a 50+ car field. This will give us at least 2 staging lanes for Buicks only.

    The normal charge for car and driver to enter the track and get a tech card is $20. Spectators are $10 each with kids under 12 free. If we add a charge for the Buick event to cover payouts, it will still be an affordable weekend. [Especially is you consider NO gambling losses! :biggrin: ]

    Hey Guys,

    I've for one had a GREAT time every year and would like to see the event move forward. Have you all looked into renting SLC's Track (Rocky Mountain Raceway)? I'm not sure about making the trip to phonix but would love to make it the 5th year in a role......

    I have not heard either way from the Vegas guys? Unless they are NOT doing their event in Vegas, I will then help to get an event in Phoenix.

    Hey Nordy Ricer

    I met you at nates butt farm , scuse me, bates nut farm,
    we talked, and I for one am glad you made the move to the west coast, (and wife still loves your dogs)
    but, " I shoulda stayed on the east coast"
    you trying to start something?
    Heck I've got that ole blue stocker that will put your east coast butt in its place! and I'll drive the thing from so cal to run ya in LV, or PHX !! :biggrin:
    my car ain't no billy anderson special, just a home brewed t type.
    have I stirred you up yet?
    I agree, we need more interest in some racing,
    so now what ?

    ain't this sh!t fun?

    Hey there,


    I'll drive my GN anywhere to run ya.. i won't have any gas when i get there, but i'll run ya.. (you got me :mad: cruzn57 J/K)

    I can count on both of my hands the GN / T events we have over there. I just can't believe with the amazing weather we have year round that we only have 2 or 3 events a year :frown: .. i know i'm not the only GN racer on the west coast, come on guys don't let me down.

    It is unfortunate that both of you guys moved out here when Fontana,
    (California Speedway) decided to shut down to move their qtr mile track to the other side of the oval. Some of the "Brutal 6" club members come up fron San Diego to race on Fridays when >www.AlternativeMotoring.com< rents/leases the track. Neal Steward, Jason Hall, Morgan from Yorba Linda, sometime even the sheppard, Lou Czarnota, comes out and make their attendance known. I go out to watch when I can. Always fun to be had out there, whether racing or spectating. Fontana will be opening sometime soon I am sure. I am sure that the East Coast offers more for the serious racer, but the east coast offers more cold weather & snow. I think that Frank (1BADDAM) had come out a few times with his TTA, & Ray came out with his GNX & Vette.

    Ok, let me re-phrase that into a more accurate statement. Alternativemotoring does not show anything on their website yet about any upcoming Friday afternoon/nighttime racing. It is definitely less crowded at their events. They lease out the track about every 5 or 6 weeks, limited to 85 signups. Saturdays out there is a real cluster?
