its hard enough to get people to show up at a sunday race, let alone take the day/half day off for a friday run. as much as id like to go to a real course, esp. with other f-bodies, i doubt many people would show. theyre always during the middle of the week, staring very early. i think most of the reason people just stick to drag racing is because you can just show up at a track after work, (depending on # of people there) get a few runs in, and drive home. you dont have to make an entire day out of it. pocono is at least 2hrs from me. there are people down south jersey that are looking at a 4hr+ ride. all to start at 8am? to get up and leave by what, 4am, then drive 4hrs, then race, then drive 4hrs home? its alot for people to do. the only other way is to take the day before off, and get a room or something. thats all adding up to a shytload of money, plus the day of work youd lose. id love to make somethign like this happen, but i dont think many other people on the board have the dedication and especially the money for it. even i would have gone to pocono or lime rock already if it was just easier and more convienant.
either way, id like to see how many people can show up on 3/9. just for fun, its alot cheaper and you dont have to lose work to get here. after that, we'll see how much interest there is for taking it to the next level.
