miller11386 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I know last year CR did a track rental on the day before IFO. This year IFO in the spring is on 4/26. Are there any plans to do this again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Always interested in a track day. 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 also interested to know if we will have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, me too. NTR is playing games with the schedule this year and not being very forthcoming on responding back to my questions. You'd think with as loyal as CR has been with them, I could at least get some common courtesy and/or answers. I'll keep everyone updated.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Anthony, is there any chance of going back to Norwalk for track rentals? those were some fun days up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they change their policy they don't rent the track unless its during the week, for one lane only, and usually at least $200-$300 per car. Now, if you want to have time on one of the best tracks in the country to get solid data on your car its worth every penny, if you just want to take a 13 second street car to hot lap, not so much...

Thompson and Quaker up here are also GREAT tracks that make for a cheap rental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last I heard they want to get the track open ASAFP since there is supposed to be an IHRA National Event there this year. I have also been told they will do grudge racing and open track stuff similar to Milan on some saturday nights. If this track goes as planned it WILL rival Norwalk in quality and construction.

I met the owners at norwalk at 10k bracket race. Very nice and knowledgeable. Some great ideas going in there. Already have a downhill slope to the staging lanes, so racers can basically coast.

SHIEF Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just hope they can get the people that run the norwalk gyro stand there. Best gyro I've ever had came from a race facility lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller11386 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well I am selfishly going to lobby for the April 25th date. I would be able to make it an entire weekend at National trail and get some quality testing in prior to the IFO race, which would help tremendously.

MrMeanGreen Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just sent the GM a text to remind him we're going on three weeks of no response. I'm pretty irate at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think Trails just likes to suck, and piss people off. The NHRA doesn't do us any favors either. Its a damn shame. I'm going to get the Camaro together in the next year or so and start running some local stuff for a change. Looking forward to D42 really.

Hit up Thompson-tell them you have a date locked it with Trails and your consider switching-they will give you better pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are picking other places than trails, I'd rather take Norwalk or Quaker. Better prep and no bullshit hump in the middle of the racetrack to make you break traction. In my book: Norwalk Quaker Trails Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
