Re: Fireblades.org Days IV
NH,
I was overseas most of last year, but I remember you(I think) mentioned the possibility of a .org event in Vegas. Did that happen? What are the chances of IV happening west of the Mississippi?

Vegas? Hmmmmmm. No it never did happen but it can certainly be a possibility.

Mid-America Motorplex.

Center of the country, great track with lots of runoff room (attn: ND4SPD).

How much would this cost us?

Probably more than Grattan (I don't know how we do that one so cheap) and definitely less than Assen.

If we get serious about it, I can do some checking.

I'm all for Grattan again though. The track is fun once you get it figured out and everything was run to perfection.

Spring Mountain Motorsports Park, Pahrump, Nevada, baby! 50 miles from Vegas - awesome track, several nearby hotels - heck, there's even several convenient brothels nearby (not that those are of any interest to me, of course).

Let's do it!

Re: Fireblades.org Days IV
After doing the Grattan event, I am of the mindset that it should be an annual event for as long as we can impose on Abtech to run it. The event was well run, the track has a good hometown feel, and the value per day CANNOT be beat....period.

Any other venues should be considered as additional rather than alternate events.....

In other words...add a "Fireblades Days South/West/Etc assuming someone has the urge to organize it...but keep Grattan as the main event...
