Track Day @ Roebling Road. Who would be interested?

**Ran** · 07-28-2006, 09:44 AM

I'm thinking of organizing an open track day at Roebling Road in Savannah, sometime within the next few months. Before I get cranked up on organizing it, I'd like to find out who would be intrested? If nobody wants to go, then I'll save my efforts, but if the response is good enough, then I get cranked up on organizing stuff. Let me know. (^_^)d

To give you guys a general idea, I held an open track day a TGRP (Talledega) last year and it cost like...$150 for the entire day. It rained, which sucks, but we still had a good time. I try to keep it the driver count as low and cost effective as possible, to ensure that those that do attend, get a very large amount of track time.

The following process would be used: I find out how much it costs and post the registration fee, you mail me a check, and I rent the track once everything is gathered. Once the track is rented, the fee is non-refundable and depending on the tracks policy, we would race whether rain or shine.

So let me know if anyone here would be seriously interested.

**Ran** · 07-28-2006, 12:07 PM

Cool cool. If I can get anywhere around 12-15 people then I'll get started on finding out the costs and what-not. That'll keep the track full but still give everybody a hella lot of track time. At Talledega, people were driving so much that towards the end of the day, everybody was pretty much worn out. lol

**Nemesis** · 07-28-2006, 12:17 PM

I would highly suggest putting a small handful on a waiting list and holding their money because you know there will be people that back out at the last second.

**yudalicious** · 07-28-2006, 12:20 PM

I am highly interested, although I would prefer payment over paypal than a check...

Paypal subtracts a small fee from the payment. Which isnt a problem with 1 or two payments, but after about 14-15 you notice. And he has to pay in full

Just charge an extra 3% or whatever if they use paypal

I almost did that last time, but didn't feel like dicking with it. If you send me a check and then need to pull out before I rent the track, then I'll mail the check back to you or shred it. Whichever you prefer.

He's collecting the money at the beginning so there won't be a lose...but wouldn't hurt to have people for backup so if there is a change he could refund their money.

**kendogg** · 08-05-2006, 07:14 PM

2 conditions, as long as it's under $200 for 1 day, and it doesn't interfere with the BMWCCA October drivers school. Other than that, dwn. Just need 2 weeks notice to get a saturday off from work, if we race a saturday. But yes, I'm down.

**DeadDoc** · 08-07-2006, 01:50 AM

Depending when it is I could go... as a photographer.... I dont feel like putting my car on a track just yet. Not till she gets more work done to her.

**Ran** · 08-07-2006, 11:22 AM

Okay guys, I got word back from Roebling and it's not good. Everything is pretty much booked for weekend events for a long time. Which means I can't host it since I have a business to manage Mon-Fri. If you guys really want to hit a track, I can try to source Little Talledega again. Just let me know.

Sorry to let you guys down.

**Ran** · 07-31-2006, 01:42 PM

Depending on the response, we're probably looking down the road about 2 months or so.

**efman** · 07-31-2006, 01:55 PM

does age matter ?

**Ran** · 07-31-2006, 02:00 PM

If they're the same as TGRP, then it's 18 w/ a valid license.

**EvasiveEF9** · 07-31-2006, 02:15 PM

Hmm...I wish it was post-winter time...I'll be low-budget and schooling til then.

**efman** · 07-31-2006, 02:27 PM

have you started school yet ?

**EvasiveEF9** · 07-31-2006, 02:33 PM

I start school August 13th. I'm broke as shit til then. I'll be attending NGCSU, and in the Corps of Cadets til the new year. Then I'm dropping the corps and picking up a job so I can afford to continue building my CRx, Civic, and LSVTEC.
