    Track Day this Weekend???

    Hello All....I know it is short notice, but in researching a possible track day in August, I noticed that the event at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway for this weekend (July 26-27)has canceled. I wanted to see if any of you might be interested and could do an event this Saturday, July 26th???

    It will be first come first served, so please let me know ASAP. If we get the maximum of 15 to sign up, the cost will be $200 each or maybe a little bit less. I am trying to get them to lower the cost a little since we will be helping them out by filling a vacant weekend.

    The format will be Drivers Education/Test and Tune, with no aggressive passing. 3 cars only on the track. We will have 20 minute run groups. It is a very forgiving track for novices. Very wide open!

    Please email me off list if you wish to sign up.

    Hello all.... the track day for this weekend was a no-go. Not enough time for most people to make a plan. Instead, we have reserved Talladega Gran Prix Raceway (TGPR) for Thursday, August 14th. This should give everyone plenty of time to make plans. The format will be Test and Tune with 3 cars on track and no aggressive passing.

    The event is limited to 15 drivers and we already have 6 committed including me. This means that there are 9 spaces left. Registration will be first come, first served so you must act quickly! The cost is $130.00 .

    I am requesting that you choose to pay the registration fee through PayPal. This will make it easier for me to keep track of who has and has not paid. It will also be a factor in determining who registered first should all of the slots fill up. My PayPal email address is: bpugh@prodigy.net . If you prefer to send a check, please send it along with the completed registration form to:

    Good to hear from my friend Byron.

    So you're still beating on that red car with the "funny" motor? - which says something about those "porcha" mono chassis.

    Wish I could join you.
