Default re: Our Crossfires Across America Rally - St.Louis, Mo. June 22, 23 & 24 -2010

Haven't read all of this thread, but the event outline is a classic one. We'd be interested in attending.

As far as locations, if none have been selected, I'd suggest ending up in KCMO or Pacific Junction, IA.

KCMO - We could gather around the Kansas Speedway and see if we could arrange for track access for a few laps. Plenty of eateries and lodging nearby. And I'd suspect track would like the publicity if we contact them about gathering there.

Pacific Junction, IA - Gather at Mid America Motorplex (I think it's Iowa side just south of Omaha, NE). The road course there is 2.2 miles and track rental by a car club is $3500/day (MON-THU) or $6000/day (FRI-SUN). Get a hundred XFires to participate and that's about $35/day or $60/day depending on what's days we'd sign up for. Otherwise, check what other car clubs have track rented on an upcoming weekend and see if we can "piggy-back" with them. Near Omaha and that means plenty of eateries, lodging and casinos (for those interested).

Here's the road course website: Mid America Motorplex. Main Section.

This has the possibility of becoming a major GTG for us if we schedule it between our Tail of the Dragon events. I'm for showing up at the road course, which is what these cars were built for! Come on, SRT SIX, make a decision and we'll pitch in to make it happen. Enough talk. Get 'er Done!
