Thread: Attention all ITC drivers, A special event just for you!

  1. #1

    Default Attention all ITC drivers, A special event just for you!

    Tired of being on pole but looking at 20 Spec Miatas in front of you? Hate when a faster car pulls you on the strait but then plants itself in front of you in the next corner? Well I have arranged for us to have our own run group at Nelson Ledges Road Course on Memorial Day weekend 2011 (May 28th and 29th) during the Mahoning Valley Region double regoinal. The catch?? Well, we have to meet the minimum of 15 ITC cars to make this happen. The good news?? It's December and I already have a commitment from 7 Drivers that have already put this event on their schedual.

    The event will have lots of track time with a Qualiying session followed by a Qualifying Race then a Sprint race each day!

    This is an event by ITC drivers, for ITC drivers and any suggestions on how to make this event more fun are welcome and encouraged!

    If you have never been to Nelson I think you are in for a pleasant surprise. It is a fast track that is a very easy to learn, with some of the friendliest staff and drivers you will meet in our club.

    Hope to see you all there,

    No, no tile, but the showers do have doors unlike the "prison rape, cinder block" shower room at Mid Ohio! I call that pleasant!

    Damn, same weekend as the Grattan Double National. If I didn't have anything going on, I seriously would've considered blowing the dust off and bringing out our ITC '85 Civic for this. Hmm, that would've been one week before my ten year anniversary of "the last time Kevin was at Nelson Ledges" incident.

    If Hardesty is too busy at the Ohio figure skating championships with his wife, I would think about renting his car for the weekend.

    Jim
    I will do my best to make this event, especially since there is usually not any car stuff in the Summit Point area that weekend.
    The first question my wife asked was "Is it a double? Good, then I could drive too!"
    We will put it on the calendar and make the effort to be there.
    cheers

    Count me in! Can't think it'd be too hard to get 15 C cars there, we had 9(?) at one of our races this season didn't we?

    Yep, I think we had 9 last year for the same event.

    I hope you make it Dave, I think you were up a couple of years ago for the MARRS event, right? If I remember correctly, we had a pretty good race!

    Jim,

    I talked with you about this event at Registration at Mid-Ohio. Its great that you got it put together. Thanks to Vaughn for letting me know about this thread through the Waterford Hills website. I will put this on the calender, but right now I cannot commit to going with the Beetle. I will do my best to get over there.... I have never had the best luck at Nelson!

    I will work on the other ITC guys around here to get them to trek down there with me!
