I can understand the shakey standing on bringing a couple grills. But c'mon guys if u dont have enought respect for atleast the track let alone everyone out there to clean up ur own mess u shouldn't be there. I would vote for grabbing something to eat on the way to the track but I think funds would be tight enough just getting there and running and staying a day or two. Specially if my plans fall in to place for the truck before hand

2800 mile round trip for me at $4.00/gallon is not gonna be cool at all... gas needs to start dropping or I am gonna be spending roughly $600-$700 just for driving

You should get a group of 4-5 guys together from your area, rent a trailer and a diesel truck, tow all the trucks down here and split the gas

Like I said, I plan on attending but will wait to put my name on the list until I know for a fact I can get my truck within track rules (cage)

I say we open this up for LS1tech guys as well. We should be able to fill those spots very quickly.

What about sponsorships? Redbull will sponsor anything.. Someone needs to contact them and see what they will do for us.

They sponsored a local Motorcycle track day at NPR.

Free food and free redbull. they also brought out video games for the younger kids to play with a huge screen..

Best of all they caught most of the tab!

For me its hard to commit, if there was like 30+ people i would, but 7 makes it hard. I think if it was cheaper it would help. But i cant complain i have about 50% less of a drive compared to what anyone from phoenix has, but i did just start over...again haha.

Time will tell i guess

But we all know that Full Throttle is better.

If it helps though i will lie AND drink 12 of them! Now thats taking one or well 12 for the team.

I vote travel trailer. Im trying to get my dad to go, if that happens i will trailer queen my truck there behind his new RV (yeah its got a Duramax) and sleep in an RV park. Also rooming up with people is easy, just bring some Cots, and sleeping bags and have the ones in the bed pay more. But who am i kidding, i know half the ones that will use the hotel room are all cuddly!
