May 18 Quaker City Track Rental (NE OH / W PA)

BuckeyeGoat.com would like to invite CobaltSS.net members to our annual spring track rental in North Eastern Ohio. (71 miles from Pittsburgh, 118 from Erie)

Several GTO owners inquired as to if they could bring friends who drive a Cobalt SS and I told them absolutly. One has already signed up. Here are the details. Anyone wishing to sign up just post that you want in and I'll reserve a spot. Pay the deposit now or when I post the deposit due date.

Quaker City Raceway in Salem, Ohio has been scheduled!

http://www.quakercityraceway.com/

Registration for this rental is NOT limited to GTO owners. All spots are open to the general public on a first come basis to cover the break even point of the rental.

The official date is Sunday, May 18th from 9 am to 3 pm. This will be 6 full hours of racing!!! (this may be moved back to a 10 am start-time if we have racers coming from a long distance that need additional time to arrive)

1/4 mile track, both lanes will be prepped the entire length of the track! The track will be re-prepped as needed to maintain safety for no additional charge. The format of the rental is a Test & Tune.

The rental includes 3 track staff to run the starter, computer and the time slips shack. There will be an ambulance on site and the tower will be set for Sportsman (but we can switch it if we'd like). We are required to supply persons to run the staging lanes and water-box. People must be at these stations at all times that we are racing. Post up if you are willing to spend an hour working one of the these positions.

Final pricing will be based on the number of spots filled and sponsor contributions. This is free for anybody who just wants to come watch. To reserve your spot a $20 non-refundable deposit is required. (This counts towards the total cost of course) . My target is 75 cars at $40 to break even. Racers will be charged an additional $18 per bag of oil dry for any track cleanup that is required because of their car.


The entire registration fee will only be refunded if the rental is canceled due to lack of interest or weather.

Payment via Paypal is accepted but if you prefer another form of payment please PM me for arrangements. Paypal is russmotz@adelphia.net and please include your name, Forum and user ID so I can properly track the info.

Paid = $40 paid in full, all other have paid $20 deposit.

also..a little side note, for all that attend, afterwards in austintown, about 15 min away and right by the entrance to I-80 and 76 is a quaker steak and lube which has a cruise-inn every sunday around 4 or 5. One of the things we were thinking was to drive over there after the rental for a get together.

ok i am not sure if it is ok for me to post this in here but i i will be there with my ls and i am trying to get my friend with a ss/sc stage 2 to come the only issue he needs so more parts and a new clutch. what is a good clutch to get for his car? and if any one in the niles/ youngstown area needs to know how to get there i am willing to meet up anywhere and we can go together. if there are any other questions that people have they may ask me. i think i am going to take a ride out there saturday and post some picks of the track or at least what i can get to.

It is right is your backyard man!

...if I've got time to swap gears, upgrade my rear axles, drop in a high flow fuel pump and totally re-plum my tranny lines adding an additional 4 quart reservoir ....you sure got time to fix your clutch. LOL ...I better not find you on the street with that lame excuse.

...so you don't know how fast you are. You should find out. On another note, I know I've seen some Cobalts at Dragway 42...has there been any organized effort in the area to get together at a track on a test and tune night or private rental?

It's a max of $40 per car. But you will be able to run at will. I typically get about 20 runs in over the 6 hours. Sometimes at D42 I only get about 2 or 3 runs in if it's busy. ...so the bottom line is the cost per run can be way cheaper at a private rental like this. Plus with less cars the prep on the track lasts longer.

Spectators are free.

No, not me, this is me.
