Thanks for helping spread the word. As Mike AKA (Skip-A-Shift) says, more is better.

Hey Guy's can you post a list of the forums you are copying this thread to? Thanks

16Again

Hey guys I need a favor. PLEASE copy my thread EXACTLY the way I write it when posting on other forums. ALSO check back for "tweaks" to original post, JUST in CASE.
You will notice I took "Mats" out of the first post. Also adjusted pricing for VIP/Show parking.

Thanks we appreciate the help.

Can't wait guys! We really need to talk this up and support our track and our sponsors...somebody needs to volunteer to spread flyers at Tower Shops. I'll see what help i can get from the "southern crew" down here.

Actually some cards to pass out would be great, but we'll need the schedule firmed up first. I'll be happy to chip in on the cards.

wanttospeed

Hey Bob, Mike usually emails us also. Did he give you our email address?

I can't wait to go out there again. Since we are waiting until Feb. 14th for outr next race now, I think I will go up there in Jan. for some test and tunes. If a few other people want to go also, let me know and we can pick a date. Its nice to take advantage of the Florida cold weather (60 degrees).

Bob and others, thanks for helping spread the word. SInce the challenge series is now going to be run by PBIR, I will be making flyers and cards once the schedule is set for the year. I will be sure to get them to everyone once I have them made. They will be general cards that can be used by all the groups, not just the vettes. I will also give you all my cards so if anyone has any questions they can call me directly at the track. One thing we need to control this year is the rumors and the incorrect postings. As the coordinator I will provide you all with the best info and will mainly be giving it to Bob first to make sure it is posted properly. Like he asked, please be sure to copy exactly how he says it. Bob is good about posting details accurately as he receives them.

Now, let's start planning our first test dates!! We should have the 2009 track schedule finalized this week. Once completed I would like to plan a challenge test day in January on a grudge night, either Wednesday or Friday night. If we can get enough cars we may be able to schedule a Thursday night to ourselves but I would need a firm commitment for that. The January schedule will be very busy between arm drop, street car chaos and pro team private testing. Man, this year is going to be awesome at PBIR!! Also, if anyone is interested in doing a ride along in a dragster or driving it themself please let me know. I can be reached for any challenge and/or track questions at 954-605-5558 cell or 561-578-5619 direct line at the track.

Let's all get out and GROW THIS SERIES!!!!!

REDGAR

google it you lazy............LOL

better yet, post it yourself,.....

....ha ha ha....just kidding...

...hey can I drive?

Joe_G

Mike, do you think we could "crash" the bracket series on 1/17? Would be great if we could run our own series between bracket elimination runs to keep the track hot and the spectators happy...but if that's not possible, could we come and pay for sportsman, do our normal grudge racing before time trials, and if we lose in eliminations, do a few TnT runs (aka more grudge racing) until you close?

GrandSportC3

I was thinking in coming down for one of the events but obviousely my car is excluded now

Joe_G

Hey, don't you have 3 vettes? Bring one of your street cars!! Problem solved.

16Again

Funny you should ask about driving. Unless something changes, I will be out in LA for our first race. Have to take care of some business regarding my dad.
Sooooo in answer to your question, sorry man not this time. Any other time, your ride is here.

Glensgages

..... what am I missing here?

16Again

Ollie won't race with a muffler, of which we now require.

Glensgages

I figger'd I had my helmet strapped-on too tight.....


Just for further clarification, is the 'muffler-rule' exclusively for the various 'Challenge Series' , or does this pertain to the Summit Racing Series events, too?

16Again

The only information I have is Challenge Series. The idea is to keep the car somewhere near stock appearing. That said, my understanding is they are checking to see if the car has a muffler hooked up,
