    SAR LS1Truck raceday!

    Hey guys, who would be interested in a track/truck meet at SAR next year during Feb. or March? We'd probably schedule it around 10am to 5pm. It would be on a Saturday or Sunday.

    I talked to the coordinator at the SAR and this is very doable if we can get 50-75 trucks to participate.
    Spectators are welcome as well as vendors.
    Before I schedule something with the track, I have to make sure there is enough interest to cover my cost for the track and help.
    Rough details as far as cost; $50 to race and $5 specator, $100 vendor.
    The more participants, the cheaper entry fee will be. If we can get around 100 trucks to race we can probably do $35-40/truck.
    There would be a pre payment of 50 trucks to get this started. Late comers can pay at the gate along with spectators.

    This is all just a rough idea, it will probably change because we're trying to do this based on the response we get from RGV and other truck communities.

    Keep in mind, this will not be a get together, it'll be an official meet. This is something that is wayyyy overdue! Every year truck owners should have a place to meet, show off their trucks, race and hang out!

    Not just a typical night at the race track.

    Post up if you're interested, here are some rough ideas:

    Just some rough details:
    14 sec and up bracket class
    13 sec class
    12
    11
    10
    Fastest truck winner (gm,ford,dodge)
    Grudge racing
    Burnout contest

    We're open to other suggestions as well.

    There will be some kind of reward for each winner and runner up.

    Basically, this is going to be our day to race as much as we want for about 6 hours! If we schedule this on a Saturday during midnight madness, well the racing can continue all night!

    This will be an LS1Truck Track day, which implies Chevy/GMC, however, I'd like to invite the Ford and Dodge owners as well. That should spark up some fun!
    If we can get enough truck guys to participate, this may turn into something we look forward to every year!

    Post up your comments if you're interested! Vendors you're welcome too.

    thanks,
    allen

    That's great, there are about 20 local guys who are already interested, this could be a great turn out!

    So what are you going to race JJ?

    What about the time frame and details I posted?
    We want as many truck owners as possible, actually 100 would be plenty.

    I guess so far, it's enough notice and the weekend is acceptable? I like the morning till afternoon schedule and having it during the cooler months.
    During the day it's not bad at all here in SA.

    Im in. The rice burners arent going to crash the party are they? I mean is this a private except by invite? or a truck only deal? Also I hope the local bracket guys dont come and clog things up.

    Once we get enough interest, we'll set the date, we'll figure some way to exclude them. Our people will be at the gate, we issue the tech cards, no imports allowed, simple as that.
    Yes, we'll be the only ones there, not a public event, it's an LS1Truck meet for members only.
    We're renting the track, so it's ours for half the day or so.
