Street car day at the drag strip (GA)

[Bobbysuniv]

Hey folks, I'm Bobby (thank you Captain Obvoius) from the SRT forums. I am trying to get a "street car" day at the drag strip going. I know drag racing is not everyone's "cup of tea " however, it is something everyone can do, cheaply. So here's the scoop so far.
What we are trying to do is get a "street" car day at the track. You have to drive it in to run it. In other words, street legal. The event will most likely be held at Twiggs just outside of Macon. Tentatively we are looking at mid Feb. to mid March. We are working out details on cost, but obviously the more that attend the cheaper it will be. I am working on a few sponsors for the event to make it even cheaper or dare I say, free to race. The racing format will be basically challenge whomever you want and run 'em. So if you are interested in attending, (not necessarily racing) please reply to this thread so I can guage intrest and get the ball rolling a little faster on this thing.

Just got done talking to the track manager from Twiggs. A street car day at the track is a go!!!! Nothing is definate yet but I will have all the specifics by tomorrow evening. Here is what is penciled in... We are looking at a weekend in mid February. Cost will be 5-10 dollars to get in the gate and 10 dollars to run. If this thing is succussful Twiggs will institute a street car day once a month with organized races and prizes. I will let you all know tomorrow evening about the specifics and rules for this event. Start telling your friends about this even if they do not drag race. It is a good way for all of us street car owners to get together and shoot the bull. Remember this is a day just for us, no playing second fiddle to the boys that trailer it in.

I also need a definate count on who is interested in attending. This is not a commitment by you. Just my way of seeing how many might attend.
