ok guys we need to set a definate date on this. 1st weekend or 2nd weekend in April. all the guys that are going chime in. either one will work for me.

It don't make me no nevermind!!


:D:D:D:D
 
I just got off the phone with Matt the owner of Break Away. He recently acquired the track and did many improvements including resurfacing! He brought on a track manager who managed Lakeland for the last 8 years. Matt is meeting with the manager today and they will develop a quote for us. I told him to check on April 5th or 12th both of which are Saturdays. Matt said he'd call me back l8tr tonight with more information. I told him we are planning between 30 and 60 trucks! He sounds like a good ol boy and is a drag racer himself. I'll post up more when I get the info....but we really need to nail down a track date first and go from there. Stay tuned!

count me in.

another question. how would the track get paid for? i am sure there are some costs to renting it. plus other stuff like the trophies and t-shirts.

we should think about cover charges. have it a set amount and if there is anything left put it up for a drawing maybe. or, adjust the cover charge to cover track usage, show, and such once we know the total cost.

i think that is fair.

hopefully i put this out the way i am thinking.:dontknow: :D


LOLOLdamn that last sentence sums up how I feel sometimes:D uh was your dad ever in cherokee?LOLOL

but yeah I think that the track cost will be split up between whom will come, not sure about the t shirts and trophy's yet.
Naturally the rooms will be paid by whom rents, such as if three couples or 6-7 guys rent then they should get together and split it between themselves.


We Have till next year , but honestly it depends on what the Riceman finds out about the price of track rental.

Oh and you better sho up Ga son:D

Just noticed I got a call from Edward, I shall call the young man and see if he has mo details, or if the car is ready to drive into the lake:D

Break Away

Just talked to Dave Flanagin track manager at Break Away. He used to manage Lakeland for years and is a real onpoint stand up guy from the sounds of it. Him and Matt are excited to work with us and gave us a couple of options:rock: :D :D :D

Option #1- Rent the track for one day. Cost- $2,500.


or.......


Option #2- Work with them to create a super hyped up Viper Truck Challenge. "They recently did this with the NHRDA and did their own event and had great results."
Here is the deal. No matter how many Viper Trucks (members or nonmembers) we have show up to race....all of us will get in for free and race for free. :elefant:
In turn Break Away in conjunction with a local Dodge Dealer will start locally promoting the event as the Viper Truck Challenge. They would do flyers around the towns, probably 2 radio commercials and 1 TV commercial as they did for the recent NHRDA event. Break Away would open up their gates to spectators and charge admission, open up their concessions and have a T&T class for non-Viper Truck vehicles wanting to. They did this at the NHRDA event and they had approximately 45 test and tune entries which is not that many. Dave said they will run seperately between our rounds. This would benefit us by maximizing exposure for the VTCOA and draw other Viper Trucks from the region who aren't part of the VTCOA to the event:rock: Plus it would hype us all up and make the event a little more big time! They will work with us on the time also....NHRDA ran from 12pm-12am.
If we go with this option Dave strongly suggested APRIL 12th because the fisrt week of april is the mud swamp buggy races which a lot of the potential spectators will be at.

I don't want to be the one to decide which option we go with as this is a democracy here and we should decide as a group. Let us know your thoughts and questions.

Also I know we are going for beach condos but I'd thought I'd let ya'll know that they have 100 acres there and plenty of 70+ camping spaces. If for somme reason we said screw the beach I'll bet we could show up Friday afternoon set up camp and take some test and tune passes Friday night and just sleep there:dontknow:

Alright enough of me talking....what do ya'll think!?:dontknow: :dontknow: :D :D
