I've always wanted to drive Gingerman for personal reasons. Wherever it ends up being, if I can take the days off I'll make the trip.

Edit: how about Barber in Birmingham, Al? That would be perfect for me.

GMan is good fun. Curious what personal reasons there would be to run there though lol

Barber... now that IS one of the most expensive tracks in the country

One of the previous owners of my M3 is the owner/founder of Gingerman, and the company I work for has a facility about fifteen minutes away.

Sounds like fun, I might be in depending where - and when (all the family stuff makes it hard). I'm in Durham NC and would go as far as MidOhio or Atlanta. Maybe Birmingham, but I bet Barber is one of the expensive tracks.

Seem like a poll would be a good idea, at least to get a rough idea of interest.

First post maybe a dumb one as its 115 am in Florida.

Since you said the itr expo is coming up why not see about for the next itr expo if you can colab it with the frs/brz first ever expo.

It will do many things great.

Exposé this car, be a bigger event which means lower prices, give competition and a fun weekend do like a frs/brz team vs itr team.

I'm not sure if it would go over but it would definitely help jump start a frs/brz expo.

Just an outsider looking it trying to help.

I'm trying to put something like this together on a more local scale at Talladega Grand Prix in the near future. Having said that, I'm always in for the road trip as long as I'm not on the road already!

Let's do this! The sooner the better!

ITR Expo is (always) open registration, anyone can sign up and attend regardless of the vehicle type. We are strictly an HPDE though, no competition.
