No time like the present to start delegating. IMHO AX is fun, but getting out on a real track beats bending pylons.
Willow wants $2000-3000 to rent 'streets' for the day. Price varies on time of year, but weekdays are obviously cheaper. If we again get a turnout of 75 cars, that's about $30 per car plus $10 track entry per person. There are other costs, so figure $50 per WCC entry. Assuming other area tracks cost about the same, that seems affordable. But we would need staffing for flags, timing, instructors, safety class, yada yada. Drew, would you be willing to organize this? I'm sure that POC would love to have us in smaller doses for their track days, but do you think they would want 70+ teeners? Would they want everyone to join POC? You know them better, so please see what you can find out. MikeZ, SB PCA is having their monthly Ventura breakfast @ Camarillo airport 7/3. Thought I would crash, and see what's cooking there. Why are you pissed at them? Anything that would affect AX? Is the SLO group better? Slits, Toast. Please look into inbred empire locations. Scott, said you knew some OC/SD Porsche people? What are our options there? Lagunero, any ideas? Having the event in Spring or Fall gives us more options since we don't need to fight inland heat, and hotel rates are usually lower. I know that may hurt because of vacation schedules, but as Drew said, there weren't many school age kids @2004. Hopefully we'll have more info when we meet at the deli. Once the track part is going, the rest should fall into place. Opinion again, but I'm not that concerned with tying into swap meets and such unless they happen to fall into our track plans. |

Howard; Since several of the recent POC short track events have had over 100 cars and I believe they say 120 is the max. I'm not sure we could squeeze in but I'll keep thinking about it and see what Marty thinks about it. Trying to squeeze that many cars into one run group might be like rush hour commuting. Trying to do our own day at the track still brings up the insurance question.
I feel there may be a considerable number of attendees that don't mind giving an AX a try but would feel intimidated by a full track event even the streets. Don't know for sure, it's just a thought. If you could find out the possibility of a Ventura AX the weekend of the German Autofest it might be a consideration. |
