My wife and I will be hosting a national "General Nissan" (B15, B15 Spec V, B13/B14, S13/S14, Z/G chassis, etc..) Road Race/BBQ and car show event late this summer, to give back to you guys that have made our company (Forced Induction Racing) what it is today.. :) We will be renting out the road course and facilities at (www.noproblemraceway.com), which is located just outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. Below, you will find a host of information/dates.. We'd love to see you guys.. So come out, and let's make this an event to remember! :)

Cost?
While we don't expect you guys to pay for everything... There will be an admission fee for spectators and drivers.. This basically pays the EMS and fire crew, plus officials who run the event. We will have everything else covered.. Fees are as follows..

Spectator- $10.00 per person (You will have access to food/drinks)
Racer/Spectator- 85.00 per person (You will have access to food/drinks, and all day track use)

We will be setting up a page for you guys to pay, using paypal, and sign up officially.. Stay tuned for updates..

You may BYOL, HOWEVER, it must be in CAN FORM ONLY.. NO BOTTLES.. Also, you will be carded at the gate by one of our officials.. Depending on your age, you will recieve a certain color wrist band. If you are planning on racing.. do NOT plan on drinking.. If you are caught drinking underage, or drinking/driving, you will be asked to leave. We want to keep this fun.. but, SAFETY is our top priority

Also, we will have a large supply of drinks, and the bar/concession stand will be open.. but, we would ask that you bring a small ice chest with water/drinks.. just in case we do run out late in the day. It is very warm during the day, and we don't want you guys dropping like flies.. ;)


If you do plan to attend.. PLEASE post your full name, vehicle year/make/model, and whether you plan to spectate, or spectate/race

If you are interested in instructing a beginner or advanced group, please contact me through PM..
If you wish to help with getting things together on the net, or at the event, please contact me through PM..


Let's make this huge.. :) See you guys this summer!

Holy Crap! $85 for people to run on the track? Thats pretty generous Travis. If anyone lives close by you'd have to jump on that! Good luck and have a safe day on that track.

I'd like to cover it all.. but, I can't swing that big of a hit... This is about giving back to the Nissan crowd for 7 years of business.. so, I will do everything that I can to make this a fun weekend for everyone involved.. :)
