Guys and Gals...
In 2006 when I still owned my dakota, we had a National's event in Atlanta for all the dakota R/T's. If you didnt know, you can rent Atlanta Motor Speedway for a day :biggrin:
Anyways, the guy that organized the event in '06 is trying to see if there is interest in doing it again. While originally he was trying to do another Dakota event, due to the lack of people that can do it...he is trying to turn it into a all sports truck event!!! And X Runners are sport trucks :top:
Anyways, he is trying to get interest in the event, and I dont know, but this would be THE BEST XFE East event you could ever imagine!!! Here is the prices and info...
$10,500 covers the whole bill. The more trucks we have the cheaper it will be.
The track is only a few miles from Several hotels the McDonaugh GA area, only 30-45 minutes south of Atlanta. If we only did this one day, we could turn it into a XFE, and have more events the next day. An hour drive will take you to the Silver Dollar Raceway or Reynolds Raceway and we could 1/4 mile it up all day long for like $20 a person. Summit Racing and showroom is also located very close nearby.
WE are trying to see if this would be something you guys would like to do in 2009 or postphone it until 2010.
Ive posted a poll up, PLEASE ONLY VOTE IF YOUR TRUELY INTERESTED AND CAN ATTEND. We need to get accurate numbers to see if this is worth it. If not for an XFE, just for a get together event.

Here are some pictures from the event in 2006...remember we get the WHOLE track to ourselfs...the repair bays, the track, the oval, the drag strip..all of it. If you have never gone 140 MPH Plus like we did back in 06, you havent lived :biggrin:
me at the finish line:

You read that right, if we can get 100 trucks, we could each play the Oval (yes the same one in Nascar, it has a SICK bank LOL) going 140 MPH...and autocross/road course, and a 1/8 drag strip.The track for the day with all facilities (Road course, Oval and 1/8 drag strip)
$7500 plus insurance.
I figure $10,500 would come close to covering it.
With those numbers, here is a breakdown.
40 trucks = $262.50
50 trucks = $210
60 trucks = $175
70 trucks = $150
80 trucks = $131.25
90 trucks = $116.66
100 trucks=$105
Of course we would try to get Summit Racing involved again. The nice part about AMS is you can have the Road course and oval going at the same time(no drag), or the drag strip and road course at the same time(no oval) and switch it up during the day so there would be plenty of activities to go around so no one gets bored. The 1/8 drag strip is old school. White line and a guy with a flag. Flag drops you run like hell. First one to cross the other white line wins. No timers or lights. Just straight up street racing like your daddy's used to do
Anyone interested? This could be an alternative to the NATS for us East coast guys, or do it for the 2010 NATS or both. Hell, all we need are some trucks. We could even do it every year just like our local Mopar club does.
