National Nissan Labor Day Blowout! New Orleans, LA

My wife and I will be hosting a national "General Nissan" (B15, B15 Spec V, B13/B14, S13/S14, Z/G chassis, etc..) Road Race/BBQ and car show event late this summer, to give back to you guys that have made our company (Forced Induction Racing) what it is today.. We will be renting out the road course and facilities at (www.noproblemraceway.com), which is located just outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. After the road racing event.. the track, which also has a top notch drag strip next door, will be throwing a Midnight Madness drag racing event. Below, you will find a host of information/dates.. We'd love to see you guys.. So come out, and let's make this an event to remember!


For more info.. check out http://www.myspecv.com/f/view_topic.php?id=157342&p=1

************************************************** ********************
What/When?
UPDATE- Pending Date(s)- September 5th- Arrival, hangout, etc
September 6th- Road Racing, BBQ/Crawfish boil (9am - 4pm) Midnight Madness drag racing (9pm - till)
September 7th- Car show, hangout, raffle and goodbyes

We are trying to set up a raffle at this time.. Proceeds will go to a charitable cause (undetermined as of now)

Where?
Baton Rouge/Belle Rose, Louisiana (http://www.noproblemraceway.com/roadcourse.htm)


Where to stay?
Baton Rouge, LA, is a huge college town, with tons of bars, hangouts, clubs, and unique dining.. It is located roughly 30-40 minutes from the track..

New Orleans, LA speaks for itself... lots to do.. Bourbon St., clubs, night life.. It is located roughly an hour from the track..

Cost?
While we don't expect you guys to pay for everything... There will be an admission fee for spectators and drivers.. This basically pays the EMS and fire crew, plus officials who run the event. We will have everything else covered.. Fees are as follows..

Spectator- $10.00 per person (You will have access to food/drinks)
Racer/Spectator- 85.00 per person (You will have access to food/drinks, and all day track use)

We will be setting up a page for you guys to pay, using paypal, and sign up officially.. Stay tuned for updates..

You may BYOL, HOWEVER, it must be in CAN FORM ONLY.. NO BOTTLES.. Also, you will be carded at the gate by one of our officials.. Depending on your age, you will recieve a certain color wrist band. If you are planning on racing.. do NOT plan on drinking.. If you are caught drinking underage, or drinking/driving, you will be asked to leave. We want to keep this fun.. but, SAFETY is our top priority

Also, we will have a large supply of drinks, and the bar/concession stand will be open.. but, we would ask that you bring a small ice chest with water/drinks.. just in case we do run out late in the day. It is very warm during the day, and we don't want you guys dropping like flies..


If you do plan to attend.. PLEASE post your full name, vehicle year/make/model, and whether you plan to spectate, or spectate/race

If you are interested in instructing a beginner or advanced group, please contact me through PM..
If you wish to help with getting things together on the net, or at the event, please contact me through PM..


Let's make this huge.. See you guys this summer!

Sounds like fun, but I'm slightly out of reach.

If it turns out well this year.. then, yes, we will most likely start a annual event.. So far, I've got about 20 cars total that want to road race and have confirmed.. So, this will definitely happen! Come on guys.. I want to see a few Maxima people out here!

I love the track. The apex's look fun. Unfortunately, New Orleans is way out there for me though. Have a good time everyone.
