RACE IN OHIO? I need your input!

[106mm]

I can't be terribly specific yet, but who would be interested in attending or running their bike in an event in southern Ohio? The strip is just under 11,000 feet long.
1. What must the strip have for you to attend an event there?
2. What does the venue need? (Camping, electrical hookup, etc?)
3. How much should it cost (seriously! lol)?
4. How far would you drive?
5. When should it be scheduled?
6. How many days?
7. Special needs? Nitrous refills, race fuel, etc?
8. Anyone want to be a sponsor?
9. Anyone live close and want to be involved in some way?
This will be an event with Tag Heuer timing equipment and a staff of people who know how to use it properly. Please take the time to respond in a thoughtful manner. If you send me a personal message, I will keep our correspondence private. Thanks in advance for your input.

I'm in.  Make it a "Run what you brung" event like Texas.
Time only.  No records except for track record

Time/mph only.  No records except for track record

I am in 110% agreement with Guy.

Makes things sooooooo much easier on the organizers

pusue the classes thing at subsequent events

could add "Tiger Racing chain guards mandatory" to tech inspection

Not sure if you are talking about Wilmington Airpark but if you are you may want to check this thread.

Seems like those guys may already be working on it. Might want to hook up with them and see if they can help you or you can help them.

Hope you guys can make it happen. That is only 5-6 hours from me.

Wilmington Airpark

18hrs 59 min from me, same as Miami!

Cool

[Team Millholland]

Karl covered my replies pretty good except keep it a couple weeks away from Maxton also.

Being in Tennessee me and the boys could make this event drive-wise easily............I'm in!

Dan,
keeping it away from all Maxton events is difficult bc there are 5? of them.

some time in mid/late June could be good; after Texas Memorial day 3 day event, before Loring 3 day Mid July event (including Monday at Jim's lobster fest)

[TRNorBRN6001]

I think Karl summed it up, but maybe running 1.25 Miles might keep it a little more intersting and draw in some more people that run the 1 Mile venues.

[entropy]

1.25mi with .75mi+ shut down (that's long!)

great idea, Gary

I agree, keep it simple!

+1000

[Team Millholland]

You're right Karl it might be tough because of the 5 events, there are no meets in July & August due to folks getting ready for the Salt.

I'd vote for the first week or two in April because it's hard to getting runs at Maxton at the first event because of the Hot Rod magazines top speed challenge for the cars. We quit going to the first event a couple years ago. If this things happens in Ohio I'm sure they'd need/want the car guys there too.

I'd like to see an event in Ohio.

1. What must the strip have for you to attend an event there?

Wilmington is very close to lots of stuff so you really don't have to pack EVERYTHING like some of the other events out in BFE.  Hell, Brock's and a few other shops are just up the road (35-minutes).  Restrooms, power would be nice (but not required), good organization, and security!

2. What does the venue need? (Camping, electrical hookup, etc?)

Restrooms (anything else is close or can be brought).

3. How much should it cost (seriously! lol)?

$200-300ish

4. How far would you drive?

I have in-laws just up the road so it's do-able...

5. When should it be scheduled?

Whenever the snow is gone.  Prefer off season so I can get vacation when others are NOT taking it...

6. How many days?

I like the 3 day events because it gives me more time to race since I have to take off work anyway.  I'd even do a weekday event if someone had one...

7. Special needs? Nitrous refills, race fuel, etc?

Not really, most of the VP fuels or special stuff people have to bring anyway...

8. Anyone want to be a sponsor?

What kind of sponsor or do you just mean financial backing?

9. Anyone live close and want to be involved in some way?

I don't live close anymore but use to.  Will probably end up back in Ohio someday so will probably use it a lot in the future...

I do like that but it would be nice to have a few class breakdowns only for info/history.

[TrickTom1]

like normally aspirated, nitrous and turbo?

[106mm]

You guys are REALLY helping me out. Keep the discussion going!
Josh, by sponsorship I mean anything from cash to prizes.

[Got-Busa?]

....and maybe 250, 600, 1000, 1200, 1300+, etc. classes!

Sean, have you talked to anyone at the airport authority?

I've got some friends that use to work there, trying to find out some info if they know anyone still around...
