only reason i was asking is because if its close to angel stadium why dont we meet there and then cruise over to the track?

if it's 1k for the day that would be $33.33 each. assuming there are at least 30 cobalts.

yes sir which is pretty damn doable for most people i would think.

hell yeah im down for 33 bucks

Thats a liitle steep in the price department, plus willow springs is far enough north that some people from the southland may not want to drive that far.

good point! maybe we could check out how much it would be to rent out a drag strip for a day or half day, maybe irwindale or fontucky.

maybe even qualcom?

race prepped means you need to have a helmet and you need to do a full safety inspection of your vehicle there's a checklist on the site, it's not that hard .

i think the insurance thing would be the impossible part. no current plans to do any quarter mile runs till i get axles, it's to far to get towed home.

well if we were to rent out angels stadium parking lot could we not set up a road course of our own? Just bring some cones and crap. As long as we aren't going nuts i wouldn't see why not. They have street racing events and shit down at qualcom all the time.

Our biggest issue is going to be insurance I think. Any place we decide togo is most likely going to want insurance.

Hey BTW, Jerrod HAPPY BIRTHDAY dude. :twothumbs Enjoy it buddy. :beer: :beer:

yah happy b-day jerrod!:twothumbs

btw i checked irwindale, fontana and a bunch of other tracks, couldn't find anything cheaper than willow, i think at this point were only gonna be able to do a drag strip. i also checked lacr and there calendar doesn't show anything for jul 1st.

thanks a lot guys! its time for me to get the party started:beer: :lol:

hell yeah just in time for a long memorial day weekend too:guns:

you know it! i took today off to make it a 4 day! lol

happy belated birthday man, sorry i was on a plane yesterday. im back in houston for the weekend :twothumbs:

don't tell me this thread is dying, lets get this ball rolling.
assessment:
1. location still to be determined
2. guest list still not started
3. bbq or not
4. timeline

i'd hate for july first to roll around and no cobalt meet:nono:

same here we can't let that happen. well i am down for the 1st and another bbq. who knows on the location but I will start a the guest list...

July 1st Cobalt Meet sign up:
1. JusDay
2.Iceman
3.
4.

The iceman is down add me. Another bbq would be cool, it sounds like it might be difficult to coordinate a track day for the next meet.

im down...this time i took the day off......whoooooohooooho

I'm game to do a little meet and greet.
only saw one cobalt other than mine in my town *of course that was a few weeks back*

well obviously im down and so is SpoiledAlice. I thought we determined Angel Stadium as the meeting spot? or we could do a park thing for the bbq and then cruise to the stadium for the pics and what not or vise versa. sorry im in houston for till wednesday so i only get to get on at certain times
