New event in Nashville next May - Lateral-g Forums

Finch · #1 11-14-2010, 08:15 AM

Bill announced this at the Po-Touring dinner in Vegas and we have started to put some details around it this past week.

This will be held at the Nashville Super Speedway on Memorial Weekend May 27, 28 and 29. The format will be much like the RTTH and RTTC events with the main goal being maximum track time.

This is the weekend after Nashville GG so those attending (Both Vendor and non-Vendor) can leave cars and rigs in town and fly back in for the event.

The road course portion will be ran on the big track which uses the front and back straights as part of the course. The front straight is very fast as you can enter the front straight at the exit of turn 4 at 90 mph and hit over 140 before getting on the binders at the start of turn 1. We plan to split out into 3 different groups so that everyone can run with cars at the same skill level. This will be open track time with wave by passing so should get all you can stand at WOT.

The autocross will be in the parking lot just outside the big track where the SCCA runs events throughout the year. We can have at least 2 cars on the course at a time so should allow for plenty of laps.

For the speed stop we plan to use pit road which they used to have Friday night drag racing on it so is plenty long.

We will be putting more details together soon (Like a good event name) so keep checking back.........

This should be a relaxing and fun weekend so mark your calendars now and plan on coming out.

Cool!! That would be the closest event for me, by far. Hopefully the '67 will be completely finished by then. Maybe you and Mark can help me set the car up and work the bugs out.

You know you can always count us in. I just hope staying a week in Nashville before the event that the guys can sober up in time. Sounds like a blast. Let fritz or I know if you guys need anything at all.
