Judging from activity on our S.A. thread, pretty sure there'd easily be over a dozen of us seriously interested in attending something like this.

Harris Hill ain't gonna be free though. Have you guys thought about obtaining sponsors to help with costs and promotion? Also, you gotta have some kind of competition for attendees with prizes for best mods, etc. I would not mind paying a modest entry fee to have the opportunity to drive on the track.

You guys really need to talk to the HH ppl first to make sure it's doable there and a tentative/proposed weekend date they could work us in or maybe piggyback us in on another already scheduled open track day type event! Costs, etc. I'm all for it though!!!

I was planning of giving a call if there was enough interest in making a event. We can get possibly Gillman and a few other vendors to help out, again if there is enough interest. There's still plenty of time to plan things out.

Just want to put it out there. This is not a car show. Track day will NOT be free.
We aren't HIN or IFO. This just suppose to be a meet/track day. It's free to go and Watch. We don't have the resources or funds to set up something with awards or prizes. As Roger has stated, we will talk to local companies in the scene around here to try to make the track day a little bit cheaper. But the main goal of this is to get Texas 86 owners as a whole to get together as a state. But nothing is 100% set in stone as of right now.

I hope you have skinny hips because I couldn't fit! It's an awesome car though.

I'd be willing to help with some of the Logistics. I live in Austin so I can go visit the local area shops and see about sponsoring. Hit me up by email irafrey (at) gmail.com.

Also Harris Hill has a mini school for $250, I wonder if we could get a group discount on a crash course in car handling.

Thanks. Either Roger or myself will be in touch.

We could do a TX2K13 meetup as well. That weekend is always a blast!

Problem with Labor Day is that it's still going to be hot. There is no shade at H2R. I helped get the big Mazda event rolling this last fall. I got them to push it back to NOV from the heat. It was much nicer.

Harris Hill would be a blast in our cars. And we could do Austin at night, and a cruise in the hill country would be nice. Labor day would be nice weather.

THIS!

Roger sent an e-mail to Harris Hill. Just waiting on a reply now.

Longhorn248 · 01-20-2013, 06:06 PM

Add me to the list, October or November would be awesome. We all know how hot it still is on Labor Day.
