i have to discuss things further with the ECTA still. there is a lot fo planning that has to be put into this. i would count on the meet costing somewhere in the $150-200 range to participate. that would get you two days of as many passes as participation/time allow for.
the cost to run the event under seperate rules is expensive and it is somethign we are taking a serious look at before we can commit one way or the other to putting together the event. estimates to run the weekend go as high at $10k for a two day event between rent, insurance, timing and scoring, and the host of other expenses related to such a large undertaking.
basicaly, it woudl take a serious commitment by the membership here and f-body owners from around the country to make this happen. aftrmarket sponsorship is a must as well and i am not talking about local companies, it takes national brands to put up the kind of cash that it takes to make something like this happen.
i am not giving up on the idea, but i will say the scales of cost and commitment invovled is a much more than i had anticipated. i am going to talk with the folks at the ECTA some more and hopefuly meet with them early next month to hammer out what exactly is needed to get this done for the 2008 season.
anyone who is or knows someone who may be interested, please keep spreading the word about this idea. we need lots of cars, spectators, and volunteers to help this event come together and run smoothly once everything is in place.
