Talked with Heartland Park Topeka (HPT) today. They're extremely excited about the possibility of hosting our XFire event. And for those that follow the NHRA, this facility just hosted the NHRA Summer Nationals, which is an annual event at this site. So their drag strip is one of the best in USA! And I'm told it could be made available to us as an evening event, since they have lights! How 'bout that!
Of course this all has a cost associated to it and I'm hoping to get these figures by end of June.
HPT also gave me the name of a contact in the Porsche Car Club that holds an event usually in June every year. Strong possibility that we would be allowed to "piggy-back" with them and that would drop our costs considerably. And the PCCA group, I'm told by HPT, brings along outstanding instructors that would be available to us to show how to get our XFires around the road course both quickly & safely.
(Note: If you check HTP website, you'll see where the PCCA group has their event this weekend. We just need to convince them to hold next year's event in the last half of June.)

I'll stay in touch,

There have been a number of great ideas on where to have our destination.
Thought I had it closed with Omaha, but it appears that the decision should be made by the majority of people who intend to participate.
As a result I have started a new poll in a new thread
This thread will close after the poll closes and the host city is decided by the voting poll.
VOTE (in the poll) for a location - Crossfires Across America - June 2010
You have two weeks to vote...........

I ask that you all cast a vote once again to help determine the host city for this meet next year in late June.
The new poll can be found at this link below....
Vote for a location (from only cities in the poll) - Crossfires Across America
Once the voting poll is closed and the destination city is final I will re-open this thread and we can continue organizing this meet.
Thanks for your vote and I hope that this becomes the largest Crossfire event to date.

It's a date then!
So... is there anyone else making the trek from the West Coast?
Will get to see how good a tourer the SRT is. Would be more fun if I did not have to drive all 2100mi on my own...
Wife said to go ahead but that she would bring the kids to Hawaii instead

Hey Gary, have we narrowed down or actually voted on a "specific" time frame in June 2010? Just wondering because some of us have to put are vacation time in by July 23rd for the upcoming year. maybe a quick, one week poll will suffice. LMK
re: Our Crossfires Across America Rally - St.Louis, Mo. June 22, 23 & 24 -2010
Also, if we're planning a track experience we may need to contact Gateway post haste due to several professional circuit obligations. Also, St. Louis' commerce center is offering major allowances and discounts to "groups" that visit St. Louis including hotel, dining and attractions' (boo the Cardinals) tickets. Get this, if we buy forty plus tickets for a game we can get our club's name lit up on the scoreboard. I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes just sharing some info I obtained.
