Track Rental 4/11 or 4/18

[79CamaroDiva]

TTPMatt said he is interested in putting together a track rental at Island on one of these two days. We would need at least 12 cars for it to be worthwhile for everyone, obviously the more cars, the less it will be for everyone

The following is for up to 12 cars:

1 Lane: $1500
2 Lanes: $2000

$50/car after the first 12, up to 20 cars.

Prep:

Both lanes, full 1/4 - $1200
Full Single lane - $600
1/8 mile single lane - $300

So if we got 20 cars, 2 lanes, each lane half prepped, it would be $3000, or 150/car.

20 cars, 1 lane, half prepped would be $2200, or $110/car.

Over 2 hour drive to Island is a bit out of the way, so I'm out.

please keep the thread to who would be interested so not to clutter it. Don't need any :werd: or :stupid: smileys from the people who think its too far to drive or aren't racing this year anyhow.

If it was at atco I would have considered it.

[79CamaroDiva]

Atco's price is nearly double. This is much better bang for the buck, even with travel expenses.

[Mike]

you know me if the cars running ill find money somewhere, if not ill come steal yours

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

I may be interested. I would just need to know the exact date so I can make sure I can get off work. I'll check both days when I go in on Monday though. :)

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Can people come just to watch? Or no?

i am up for it on either day. just have to know the final details and who to send the money to. i posted a rental inquiry on island website forum and it seemed to have some interest. should be able to get enough people to keep the cost down.

This Saturday I'm driving 2 hours to race at Atco. Then on Sunday a 2 hours drive to race at Raceway Park. A two hour drive ain't that far. A track rental is great to get as many runs in as you want. The place will bacically be your private racetrack for the day.

I was just talking to a few friends this morning on giving a bracket racing clinic. Would we be able to run 2 cars with dial-in's (able to practice top end racing) and would we be able to run on a Sportsman 500 and a Pro 500 tree?
Thanks, Jim

Yeah I've been to a rental before so I do like having the track to yourself. I drive 13 hours one way to go home each year(to IL) so it's not bad in the vette at all, but for the T/A on bigs/lils it's a different story. If I had a support crew then maybe hahaha

But the slicks and skinnies in the car and street meats on the car for the drive up. You won't have any worries about someone walking away with your street tires at Island on a rental day.

I wouldn't be able to go if I wanted to since I start advance before then.

[68camaroguy]

[68pont455]

[Rich189]

[racerz]

Please remove me from the list. I never stated that I was going. I'm still in the process of setting up a bracket racing clinic with some friends. We will most likely do the clinic on a test an tune day yet to be determined.

ha. i know.. i work there ;)

ok.. I'm gonna open this rental up to other forums as well to try to get the full 20 people and thus, best price. the problem is that there's a lot of question marks here, and i need definites. I can PROBABLY get the deposit waived, but i will definitely need money from people BEFORE the rental day to ensure no one backs out and leaves the rest to foot the bill.

I think, to give everyone the most time to get their stuff together, we should do it 4/18, OR even later, since TTPMatt still hasn't gotten back to me, and I only picked those days because thats what he wanted.

Need some input here guys, I don't mind throwing it together, but I can't just wing $3000.

[Mike]

im a definate to be there, if i cant run i can hang out and help you since i know most tracks run a skeleton crew on rental days.....

i cant tell you 100% yet becasue of my work situation, hope you understand

[JerzyIroc]

is it open to all makes or it's a gm/fbody and muscle car thing?

[Mike]

everyone

put me on the list i can do either day and would like to see the 20 people due to cost but i'm in for sure just set the date in stone so i can get a vacation day approved.

[racerz]

ha I'll b there. O I only race there

[racerz]

cancel that I refuse 2 race at any track a person of ur attitude works at. Im 2 NEW-ISH goto Hell

what're you talking about? Melissa's one of the most pleasant people on here

[Mike]

he is talking about the thread of her broken trans....

dude, she meant newish to the site to have seen some old posts, she did NOT mean you are new to racing, or that being new is a bad thing... simply that there were posts you couldnt possibly know about in the time you have been a member that would have affected the comments you made in that thread.

[SteveR]

wtf is wrong with you.

[Mike]

try to keep up steve :)

[79CamaroDiva]

I can't say anything that hasnt been said already. I never said new to racing in the other thread I only meant new to the board, as Mike said. You've been a member since November, in the grand scheme of things, that's new here. I never have made and never will make personal attacks, and I really don't appreciate them. Anyone who wants to be a part of the rental is more than welcome.

[68pont455]

are we still on for the 18th. looks like we are having problems filling the list up?

[camaroracer1992]

yea what is the deal here?? i am anxious to run the car with its new combo

[68pont455]

yep i need to tune my new fuel system set up and will need more than 2 or 3 runs on a regular test and tune day. i would of thought that there was more interest for this but we still have 3 weeks about so i am sure the list will grow enough to be able to do it. if not its a couple of test and tunes then dive into the race days.

[Mike]

shes on vacation, ill text her and get an update

[68pont455]

no problem here i know i am up for it and just hope enough others can do it also to share the cost.

[Rich189]

I'm in the same boat as you mike once i know a date in stone i can give a definate yes or no

[Mike]

lol thats not the problem, since im out of work....... i mean i cant say wether or not im running since i cant get my car finished without money from work

[79CamaroDiva]

OK, I'm trying to fill up the list by offering it on my forum at islanddragway.com, the date will be the 18th, and I will need 20 people confirmed in order for it to be $110/car.

Did you ask your dad about spectators?

[79CamaroDiva]

Rental is on for 4/18, 1 lane, glued to 1/8 mile. Total due for each car is $110, assuming we get the full 20 cars. I am posting it and keeping track of attendance here..

http://www.islanddragway.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=3282

The best way to do in lieu of putting down a large deposit, will be to have EVERYBODY send me a check or money order for $110, with the understanding that if we do not get the full 20 cars, the difference will be due the day of the rental. The TOTAL due for the rental is dependant on car count, so if there are only 15 people, the total due will be $1500 (1 lane) + $300 (prep) + $150 (add'l 3 people after 12) = $1950 each person will have to pay an add'l $20 ($1950/15 = $130)

Send check or money order to:

Island Dragway
attn: Melissa
PO Box 184
Great Meadows, NJ 07838

Make the check out to Island Dragway

I will need payment NO LATER THAN 4/9 (wed of the week prior), preferably asap. Everybody will get a full refund in the event we decide as a group not to hold the rental due to low count.

[Mike]

:( if it works out, or falls through, i would be in for any other weekend :(

[68pont455]

i am in. check in the mail on monday

[camaroracer1992]

let me get my check out to you im in for it

[camaroracer1992]

I cant make this, I am unable to get off of work. Sorry

[79CamaroDiva]

lol, so a rental that started out for njfboa, will only have one njfboa member in it?

[68pont455]

i would guess that it will be a little more then the 110.00 since there is already a person dropping out. can we pay the diff at the gate or do you want that sent before the 18th? dont matter to me either way. i am zcarr on island forum and already on the participant list. sent out the money order monday to you melissa. thanks
zac

[79CamaroDiva]

if you look at the list on the island forum, its filling up quickly regardless. so far 15 people on there, 2 more i'm waiting for a call back from, so we're sitll pretty good. any difference in price ill collect on the 18th

[68pont455]

thanks
