Ok, I also went to the No Problem Raceway Park site, pulled the info page and made a call to Linda at the track office. Track rental is $1500 for the day. Ambulance and paramedics crew are $40 per hour for 8 hours for a total of $320. There are no stated provisions for wrecker services, we would be on our own for that. We would also have to provide our own corner workers (6 flag stations) and start/control personnel. The cost is cheap at only $1820 for the day, but there would be much more labor for us to take care of to run the event. Does anyone know how to run a racetrack for the day?

Keep me in the loop, I'm in for whatever direction we head for 2009.

Roebling Road sounds like our speed. They look like they cater to club rentals.

Memphis, TN:
http://www.memphismotorsports.com/track/rentals.php

Don't know yet what the road course there is, but it looks like the Porsche CLub of America and SCCA run there...

AL:

We could also do Tallegeda Gran Priz again...in AL.

You also have to consider what the surrounding city offers to convention attendees. Like Savannah I've never hung out there so I can't really say what there is to do in Savannah.

Memphis I'm sure has a lot to do since it's a pretty famous city.

Alabama I can't comment on, but I hear good things about Barber. I'm going to try to get out there for a track day in october.

Anywhere near Miami would be good for the young bachelor guys looking to pick up some hot women, lol. Miami has plenty of that

See previous statements about rental costs. I've heard Barber is up there with the pro tracks!

Like they'd talk to a bunch of Sentra owners!

One other thing to take into account for the track is insurance if the track requires it. Some tracks may not be mentioning it thinking we have our own insurance.

I already know it is WAAAY out of our price range. Think about 2 or 3x more expensive than Road Atlanta.

I'm a great tour guide

South Beach, Cocunut Grove, & Hard Rock in Ft. Lauderdale being some prime hot night spots

We got the Homestead Speedway for some track action or Moroso in West Palm beach for some 1/4 mile activities.

If that's the case, then Roebling Road looks like the best option. ANd the people I've talked to are nice to deal with so far. Initially, she said it would be hard to get a spring 2009 date, but when I told her we were looking for a Friday and not a Saturday or Sunday, she said it should not be a problem.

ANd Hilton Head isn't too far away for a nice Saturday at the beach.

Or we could do like Penn/NJ did last year. Thursday night in an inexpensive hotel near the track, relocate to Atlanta for Friday night and the rest of the weekend. About 3-4 hour drive and I don't think the Atlanta nightlife even cranks up until 9 or 10 pm on a Friday. That should satisfy all of the folks looking for a night on the town. As well as give plenty to do for the rest of the weekend for everyone else.

Any thoughts from whomever is making these decisions?

In '03, Barber was $10k a day, 2 day rental minimum.

1 hotel > track hotel + other hotel. Having to unload the car twice, sucks.
