Carolina Motorsports Park- Open Track Event March 15-16, 2003

**cobrabitn** · 12-02-2002, 02:05 PM

The SCMC will have its first open track event in SC at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC. The event consists of two days of open track with instruction. Why not drive your car in a closed secure environment instead of out on the street where you jeopardize many people besides yourself. Take it off the street and put it on the track.

OK Tony I'll do just that!! See you there!

stylin99 · 12-07-2002, 06:46 PM

Instead of doing the "Free" track event that was discussed before, why can't we work out something like a "half-price-for-members" event. Sounds like the sponsors are contributing enough to pay for some of the event. Man, can you imagine the flock of people that would come to this if it were a half-price event. ($75 a day for 2 days maybe?) Tony, any thoughts on something like that?

I don't know if I can fork up $275 for the event plus prepping the car costs. Maybe that can be something to look at in the future?

**cobrabitn** · 12-07-2002, 08:56 PM

Hmm.... I like that idea Steve. I agree with you and I really want everyone to go as a club. That would be $75.00 for one day though, not two or are you saying $150.00 for two days for every member? Also, I haven't given up on the free day yet so don't write it off just yet. All I was saying was that we didn't get what we were promised and I didn't want people thinking one thing when it wasn't going to happen. I'd have to refigure the cost and see what we need for a breakeven point and then go from there. Does that sound fair to you?

**97whitevert** · 12-08-2002, 10:14 AM

great idea steve!! tony, sounds like a good possibliity, i think he means $75 each day, $150 total. thats what i got out of it.

stylin99 · 12-09-2002, 11:31 AM

Yea, I meant $75 each day. Instead of an all or nothing track price...I was just thinking of some middle ground where everybody will still jump at the chance to pay some of the pricetag and still feel like they got a great deal that they can't get elsewhere. If that were the case, you could probably do one each year and not lose any money (pending sponsor payments of course).

BOSSMAN · 12-09-2002, 01:31 PM

Either way you do it. You will see me there.

**cobrabitn** · 12-09-2002, 01:56 PM

That's great Bossman. You bringing the Chrome Yellow beast with you?

Yeah, I figured I would give the cobras something to chase.

johnbasf · 12-09-2002, 08:21 PM

I hear ya Bossman.

SIUNARA · 12-09-2002, 09:30 PM

I'm all for the middle ground thing...even if you can't give an entire day for free to members, any break will be appreciated I'm sure!

I'm there no matter what...I'd just like to be able to save a few bucks.

**cobrabitn** · 12-10-2002, 11:25 AM

Thanks y'all for the input. We are still trying to go to plan A so just hold off till we get it figured out. Now if we could get about 80 people to go at $150.00 for the weekend then it's a done deal. I don't think you all realize that these things are not cheap. On average, it runs anywhere from $12,500.00 to $15,000.00 to rent a track for the weekend depending on where you go. VIR would be closer to $20,000.00. Please give us till the first of the year and maybe we can take a poll to see how many would truly commit to going if we did do a $150.00 weekend price.

Thanks,

Thanks,

$150 for 2 days! I'm committed! (as long as it's a carolinas area track.) I've been wanting to buy a car trailer. Now's the time I guess.

Not exactly sure what the American Iron schedule looks like, but if you need instructors...let me know...

**cobrabitn** · 12-10-2002, 02:45 PM

We will need instructors Jim.

Currently we have 4 but I am shooting for at least 10!
