I'm bringing an undermined amount of cash. I'll follow the collective.

This undermined cash you speak of?? Do you print that yourself or do you get special help from others?? :mrgreen:

I'm in favor of whatever the most of you decide.

Thanks to everyone for your input and for offers of track fees. Special thanks to Rob for talking through things with Aaron and coming up with these options for us.

I recommend we follow Rob's recommendation and go with the $1500 track fee where they open it up to t'n't also. It sounds like the track will do us right regarding weather or oildowns. We should get as many runs as we want (1/8th or 1/4 mile, I bet), and it'll be nice to have small numbers for Friday night.

Slant on,
Lou

I like the test and tune Friday night rental.
With the track being closed down for 3 months is there going to be racing fuel (gas and methanol) available?

I will ask Aaron the fuel question and post the answer, Will. Good point.

If we do the Fri night track rental, will that be just a TNT or will there be a slant six "race", and then another race on Sat?

Assuming Friday goes, it will definitely have an official Slant 6 race at it! Just t'n't for anyone else who shows up and is not us.

Good question about the fuel.

Lou

Yes! We will run one official Slant 6 race Friday and another one Saturday as originally planned. You can also run whatever test & tune passes you want to as well. :wink:

I hope we will be finished up at a decent hour Saturday so we can go to the famous Pizza Hut.

I can’t stay Saturday night. Angie flies to California Sunday morning for a week. Getting back just in time to see me off to Wyoming again for 9 more months.

Thanks for all your planning Rob! I was hoping to just stay at the track. I wonder if we can stay there after we race Saturday night? Since they aren't having a Sunday event? I was going to leave Sunday AM.

From Aaron:

As far as Fuel, we have 110 and Methanol.

Let me get the link to pay the $1500. We can take PayPal friends and family, charge a card with a transaction fee. We also have cash app and venmo.

We need to collect the funds and pay the track for Friday.

I can do it like I’ve done recently for the rods and pistons.

The sooner the better for me so it’s done before I leave the country this weekend. I’ll be gone until the 15th.

Thanks to Slantzilla, the track rental is paid for! Thanks Dennis!

We can all settle up at the race. (If you ain’t met Dennis yet,… y’all don’t wanna crawfish on him! :shock: :lol: )

Waiting on the answer back from Aaron on staying over Saturday, Rick. :wink:
