LeMans is planned & everyone has signed up. The Rally is still not announced but it will will be & we will have fun.

Ok, since DBK already let the cat out of the bag in R11, can we get some dates? IMSA at COTA is slated for September 15th-17th (Thurs-Sat). Can we assume festivities start that Tuesday (13th)? Just tryin' to plan ahead:cheers

I said I'm considering it. It really depends on COTA. I think it's a great venue and a great opportunity, and I spoke with some COTA people yesterday. Awaiting word on prices. Hopefully race hospitality for a couple hundred people is a little more reasonable than track rental.

Sweet talk Red McCombs and the price will drop; that track is essentially bankrupt so any money would be welcome

That's exactly what I was thinking. Hard to charge the prices they've been asking with the condition they are in.

I have discussed splitting the track day with a national viper group to drop the price in half. Dave if you want me to pursue it let me know.

Spirit is friends with the McComb family, He can beat them down on cost.

The IMSA pricing was very reasonable at COTA last year. f1 was ridiculous.

Bernie's business model may be global, but not necessarily sustainable. Long term, IMSA represents a potential threat to F1, hopefully he doesn't buy it.

I would go for that.

And there is a local track about 45 min away.

Why of course, did you really need to ask!
