GTO1 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Let me first give a big thanks to DarkFormula for allowing me to post that the BuckeyeGoats Track Rental at Quaker City Raceway in Salem, Ohio has been scheduled! http://www.quakercityraceway.com/ Registration for this rental is NOT limited to GTO owners. All spots are open to the general public on a first come basis to cover the break even point of the rental. The official date is Sunday, May 18th from 9 am to 3 pm. This will be 6 full hours of racing!!! (this may be moved back to a 10 am start-time if we have racers coming from a long distance that need additional time to arrive) 1/4 mile track, both lanes will be prepped the entire length of the track! The track will be re-prepped as needed to maintain safety for no additional charge. The format of the rental is a Test & Tune. The rental includes 3 track staff to run the starter, computer and the time slips shack. There will be an ambulance on site and the tower will be set for Sportsman (but we can switch it if we'd like). We are required to supply persons to run the staging lanes and water-box. People must be at these stations at all times that we are racing. Post up if you are willing to spend an hour working one of the these positions. Final pricing will be based on the number of spots filled and sponsor contributions. This is free for anybody who just wants to come watch. To reserve your spot a $20 non-refundable deposit is required. (This counts towards the total cost of course) . My target is 75 cars at $40 to break even. Racers will be charged an additional $18 per bag of oil dry for any track cleanup that is required because of their car. The entire registration fee will only be refunded if the rental is canceled due to lack of interest or weather. Payment via Paypal is accepted but if you prefer another form of payment please PM me for arrangements. Paypal is russmotz@adelphia.net and please include your name and user ID so I can properly track the info.

LPFSTheFett Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 How are they on cars running without a cage? If I knock off a 9 second pass are they gonna get pissed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the contract to read the details yet and have not held a private rental there so I can't answer that right now. We do have 2 twin turbo GTOs already singed up. One has run in the tens and I know he doesn't have a roll bar. Cool. i assume buckeyestangs will be there as well. Yes, I've posted this on BuckeyeStangs...they usally fill up half the rental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to thread jack, but if this is the same guy that I think it is, he also claims to be in the top 5 fastest GTO's in the whole United States!! BTW he got beat on by some hondas last year while he was "n/a yet spraying" If its the same guy which it might not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope he's not in the top 5, there are 2 that I know of running 9 and a bunch more in the 10s. He is shooting for 9s this year though. He was working on the turbos most of last year and having technical problems so most of the time he was either broken or out tuning if he did make it to the track. He didn't make it all work right until late last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO1 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Anyone that wants a spot just post up that your in and you'll be sending the depost shortly and I'll add you to the list now. I don't have the contract from the Quaker City yet so I'm not sure what date they need the money to reserve the track...so I have a little time to collect deposits.

GTO1 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Almost half full in less then a week. I'm considering on holding the price at $40 once I reach 75 cars and donating all entry fees above that to the fund CR has set up for Michelle and the girls. I posted that on BuckeyeGoats and got a pretty good response to do that. We did have 100 cars last year and that would raise $1000. ...now I got to get there.

Guest nursecilla Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 LOL! Yeah I know. Practice..practice..practice. Can't wait until the rental. Didn't realize it is 4 HOURS from where we live. Oh well. I am sure it will be well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. I am sure it will be well worth it! Couldn't help the location, Norwalk didn't have it's schedule for rental available and raised it's prices. ....but we are currently talking with National Trails for a fall rental so that will be a lot closer for you.

GTO1 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 The gates will open 1/2 hr prior to racing. So 8:30 At the gate you will need to sign the standard liability waiver. You also will receive a tech card. So yes your car must be teched. They are only looking for obvious safety problems. You also MUST have a helmet if you run 13.99 or faster. You are allowed to park anywhere in the pit area. Teching: The tech station is located outside the guard rail by staging lane 14. There is a aluminum box there. I will be assigning numbers to the cars at that location and verifying that you are fully paid. A Quaker City worker will exchange your tech card for a run car that will allow you into the staging lanes. It is our responsibility to provide workers to run the staging lanes, the water box and the ET shack. (which is at the end of the track). If we do not have these positions manned at all times nobody can run. ...meaning I will need volunteers all day long to hang out at those locations. In case of a rain out we will be rescheduling. The track uses Weather Underground to moniter the weather. If it is sprinkling early Sunday morning but thing look like they will clear and that the track will dry, they will move the start time back and we will still have 6 hours of racing.
