XV Open Track Event - Just For Musclecars

[dqhemi]

Well, here is the official announcement...

We've put together a real open track / driving school event exclusively for classic musclecars!!

We've rented a 1.5 mile road course and 3,300 front straight. Track was selected to be optimal for these types of cars, so you'll be able to use your Horsepower, Suspension and brakes.

This is being held on a real deal road race course - not an auto-cross.

Professional instructors will be on hand to help out whether it is your first time on a road race course, or you are a track veteran looking to sharpen your skills. Look at the flyer and you'll see this is a full driving school type event with instructors available every step of the way.

We're super excited about this and it has been many months in the making. All you need to do is sign up and come out and play - we've done all the hard work! All makes and models welcome.

For those of you who have been wondering, here's your chance to see what our cars really do, up close and personal! Maybe even get a ride in one on track....

Anyway the flyer below has all the details. We're limiting the number of entries so everyone gets plenty of track time. We're also allowing a limited number of spectators to attend. ALL must register in advance.

Whether you bring your car to play or just want to watch there should be some pretty serious hardware in attendance. Can't speak for anyone else, but we'll be ready to wring out some of our cars.

Hope you're able to come out and play with us.

Here's the details:

Great to hear you'll be making it Bill!

I figured you be up for this.

I'm really surprised no one else here has chimed in on this thread. I figured the guys here would be all over this as it's a real deal road race course, with full instruction and reserved just for muscle cars.

Isn't this what G-Machines are all about?

Wish mine was ready - and that I was closer to Pocono! Sounds like a damn cool event, John. :thumbsup:

[Steve Chryssos]

For those who are on the fence, Pocono is in Long Pond, PA which is only about 500 miles or 8 hours from Detroit, MI and Columbus OH. Or 600 miles from Charlotte, NC. It's starting to look like there will be some amazing cars on hand. It's a great opportunity to stretch your car's legs and --more importantly--improve your driving skills.

Even if you just want to spectate, plan on having a big time. We don't want to hog up all the slots. But if there is space available, we are thinking of bringing the Charlie Libby Fairlane (http://www.lateral-g.net/members/libby/) as well as the Red Car (69 Camaro) which is already entered. Both cars make some amazing sounds. Should be a helluva show. Spectator Fee is only $20.

315 BFG KD's all the way around. It's a bear to drive at slow speeds. But the faster you go, the better it handles (and stops) How'z yer widebody coming along. Get it running for October. Indy's not that far from Pocono.

Been very slow do to work stuff - but I plan to get back on it this week. Got our new fleet of DC10's FAA approved and in service - so it's time for some vacation and I plan to spend it all in the garage doing my chassis. I have a lot of work to do to catch back up for the past 4 months. I would LOVE to bring it out to a track once it's finished. Maybe October 08....

If we start bringing in late model mustangs this will be no different than any other open track event. We don't plan to open it up to any and all cars. We could easily fill the entire field w/ track prepped late models. A couple of cars for comparison might be interesting, but that's not what this was set up to be.

We don't have a hard definition of a classic muscle car for this, but an 06 isn't in the gray area.

cool i understand...

I’ve been waiting for a confirm before we announced this, which we just got.

The producers of the American Muscle Car show have confirmed that they will be covering the XV Motorsports Open Track Event for one of their shows. If you want to get your ride on TV, here’s your chance!

Also, our friends at Wheelbase Communications will be covering the event as well. Wheelbase has syndicated automotive columns that get distributed in hundreds of newspapers around the country.

And we’re still trying to confirm one of the major mainstream automotive magazines for this as well.

Should be a great time and you and your car may get some time on TV or in print!

We did all the hard work, all you need to do is show up and have fun. Here's your chance to run what you've built and be on track with many other Pro Touring G Machines. I'm constantly being told the PT crowd doesn't run what they build - well here's a chance to show otherwise and on national TV!

Hope you can make our event.

So lets hear it, whos going to really be there and with what? For anybody who doesn't realize it, this is an excellent opportunity and get on the track in a safe and controlled manner. Maybe you just wanted to see what it was about but I think everyone should try it once to experience it, especially if you are into this protouring trend. I'm suprised this thread isn't 20 pages by now. I know somebody who should have a complete overkill badass track ready 68 camaro done on time for this event. He stated that he is going for the learning experience and has no plans of trying to prove anything or flog the car, just find his limits with his driving skills.

So list off what you got and whats your plans. We wanna make sure that XV sees enough interest to keep this trackday going........not that I'm gonna be there, even if my project was done, its half way across the country:woot: :woot:

[Garage Dog 65]

I'll be there as a spectator. Can't wait to see some of these cars on the track. Johnny needs to bring that Nova down for a romp !
