this HAS to happen in august. 3/4 of the people on here will be in school in september, including me. I recommend early to mid august so we have time to recooperate from the maxima love before going back to school

Nismo_K

ok, it's late, I clicked the wrong date, my date was for August 21... not August 14, but anytime in August for Ceasar and I.

anyway to make this a poll where we are able to view who voted for what dates. Im just curious so we can weed out the people that vote and have no intentions on coming to the meet.

okay guys. I spoke with Dallas Jones who is the owner of Beech Bend. The next open Saturday is September 11th. To have a saturday event, here is how the cost breaks down. $1500 minimum for track rental. $60/hour for ambulance /EMT, $163 insurance fee, and if we want to have the track officials work the track for us it is $10 an hour per person and he said about 6-7 people is normal. So this looks like for a Saturday event from ? (guess) (9am - 3pm) the cost would be around $1500(track) + $360(EMT) + $163(insurance) + $360(workers) = $2383 + any other surprise costs. He said if we want to have some people help and run the track then it will be cheaper on labor. If we want this date then it is $200 down payment and we can pay the rest on the day of the event. Figuring $2500 then it would be around $50 a piece for 50 people. If we could get around 100 people then we could get it down to $25 a person which seems very reasonable for a complete track rental for 6 hours. Let me know what guys think, and I will get back to him. If we want this date we need to act quickly so he can get me the contract and we can send him $200 dollars to reserve it. We don't have to limit this to maximas either, if we want to invite others to help out on cost then it is fine. Feedback please.

I, for one, am willing to pre-pay $50 if you are willing to spearhead the organization

96sleeper

I will be willing to head this up. My only concern is that we do this and 150 people say they are coming and then 30 people show up. My name will be the one on the contract and I will owe $2000. This can not happen. I would like to get definite approval from everyone and a confirmation list of people that are definately coming. I would also like as many people to prepay as possible. What is a reasonable amount of people to assume are coming? Maybe this should be a nissan/infiniti meet? I am just throwing out ideas. We might need to get the word out without letting too many people know. I would hate to rent the track and then have it be more crowded than a regular test and tune event.

iTrader: (11)

I think we could make this an all 4-door meet. that would be cool.

Just make sure that everyone who wants to attend pre-pays.

Kevlo911

iTrader: (36)

Should we hit up Altimas.net?

I would not pay more than $50.

Blu

iTrader: (63)

I say like $50 for drivers and $15 for people that just want to spectate. Im willing to prepay $50 thats not a problem...

Hope this helps a little, its worth a shot...

Although August 21st in leading I think Sept 11th should be the set date considering thats the only day the track can be rented in the near future...

AND you can make a commemorative video about 9/11 at the same time.....

Too bad it's 13 hours from me....I'd love to go....890 miles is quite a bit to drive for a track meet......

Blu

iTrader: (63)

Well this meet is for everyone but aimed towards the ones that are more serious about drag racing. Its a long haul for me too but I don't mind it one bit, I'd much rather have a track meet than meeting at a park and standing around doing nothing.
