Track Days

Just wanting to get a number of how many of you would be interested in a track day with SRT-4's. Also how much you would be willing to spend?

I am in the process of trying to set up a couple of different things - autocross/lapping day and a drag show'n'shine day.

Thank you for your responses!

You know I'm up for a day at the track! I'll try to keep to you turbo skittles!
If it's a limited number of cars and we have a track to ourselves... I'd be willing to pay more for that priviledge.

Keep me posted.

LOL! If you think you'll be able to keep up to the SRT-4's that go to the track, you got an unpleasant surprise coming your way.

Ya don't think as it stands you could beat the fastest SRT-4 that would be coming to this hehe.

At any rate this would be closed event for racers with prepaid entrance and specators can be anyone .

This in the works in the SRT4OA club and I thought it would be better to have different cars included.

As I have met some of you from here thats why I decided to extend the offer.

Right now I have two options open to me -
1) Race City giving an opportunity for special racing on Sport Compact weekend
2)Castrol park but the cost there is $8500 plus gst. Now breaking that down to 85 cars thats a hundred a piece for a full day of racing.

Depending on the response I am looking to talk to businesses for sponsorship and prizes to make this a real event.

If you have an suggestions or ideas I would be more than appreciatative to them.

Just to let everyone else know, as it stands the fastest SRT-4 from SRT4OA ran an 11.3 at Castrol last year and if you check their top ten for quarter mile, it's all in the 11's and 12's. If I'm not mistaken, I think there's even a stock turbo SRT-4 that runs 12's too...

omg guys I was being sarcastic! I know what the SRT can do, very powerful car. I was going to buy one when they came out, but it was a little out of my price range at the time.

bigroberto I knew you were joking around. I just don't want you to be surprised as most of the slow SRT-4's running this up coming summer will be high 12's to low 13's.

There will always be gabbing at each other as my best friend drives a slow-balt, i mean cobalt.

But on topic guys, seriously is there anything you guys want from these events. It looks like it will be two different ones lapping and drag day. The cost approximately for the lapping day will be about 300 so far. If we were able to get about a hundred cars we could have Castrol for a day cost being about 100.

Also I have been offered something during Sport compact weekend as well.

Opinions please!

haha no hard feelings.

Anyone of those events would be cool. I think I could speak for most of us and say the cheaper the better, lol obviously. The Castrol day for 100 would be sweet. Im up for whatever though.
