COLORADO TRACK DAY, may 20-may 21 Options

[TROJANMAN]

May 20 and May 21
We are currently in the early planning stages of a track day in Colorado. We are going to ride on the coat tails of a PCA planned event, but the goal is to get enough 914's signed up so that we can have our own run times.

The event will take place approx. 2.5 hours SE of Denver at one of Colorado's last remaining tracks. The track fees will be paid for by Howard. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Actually, the cost will probably be in the $125 range for a 2 day event. Timing will take place, so bragging rights are on the line. It would be great if some of you could show up.

Accomadations, and our home base, will be at Brant's Birthplace home (literally) in a a small rural part of colorado where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Bonfires and Beer will be the highlight of the accomadations.
Please post if you would like more details.

For anyone wanting to spend some time in denver, there are plenty of us willing to host you. (right gint? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) )

Hope you guys can make it..................... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

914’s at LaJunta Details:

· The AMR club that is sanctioning the event has gone above and beyond to accommodate us 914 folk! There is going to be a 914 specific run group (mostly novice level drivers) if we have enough turnouts to fill it. Obviously some of the really experienced drivers (and 2 driver cars) will be bumped out of this group, but lets get 25 914’s into it and have our own run group!

· 914 Folk are going to need to register EARLY to accommodate the extra planning and get us into our own run group! So deadline for us to register is going to be 4/10/06. Everyone is going to need to complete the registration form, mail it with a check to:

AMR-PCA Registrar
P.O. Box 2231
Colorado Springs, CO 80901

· Pretech is necessary, especially if this is your first PCA event. The scheduled date is 5/10 for pretech, and the locations are not yet announced but should include Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Ft. Collins. Put the 5/10/06 date into your calendar and plan on taking your car to a pretech meeting that evening.

· Helmets. It looks like AMR-PCA is going to allow the 1995 Snell certification to continue to be used until June 2006. This is great news if the cost of a new helmet was going to keep you from attending! Getting a new 2005 rated helmet is still a good idea, but don’t let it keep you from coming now. If you have no helmet, I can come up with a couple of loaners and help coordinate any sharing.

· Cost: The event is going to cost $130 for both days! If you are not a PCA member you will need to add $10 to this registration cost, so $140 for non-members. This Registration fee will include an event T-shirt! 2 driver cars get to save even more money, and the cost is $130/$140 for the first driver and only $100/$110 for the second driver! (We have tons of fun 914 people who may not have a car ready to attend, so feel free to be generous and offer to share you car with a friend if you feel so inclined!) Finally, there is a dinner planned in LaJunta after the event. This is an additional $12 per person and needs to be paid with registration. (The event fee is refundable if you have to back out and can give a 72 hours notice to the registrar)

· Lodging: LaJunta has some affordable lodging. Also, there will be some sleeping bag space available at Dad’s house. Finally, I’m willing to come up with lodging details in Lamar for interested parties also.

LaJunta Hotels:
Super 8 (719) 384-4408
Holiday Inn (719) 384-2900

I’ll get future updates and info available including maps, directions, a caravan schedule, list of items to bring, and event format. Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you think of.
