Black Series Gathering/Track Day Early October 2008

I have been having so much fun running my car at the track that I was thinking about setting up a Black Series owners track day in either late September or early October.

The event would be held at a track in the Southeast. Based on relationships that I have, it would most likely be either at Road Atlanta or Barber Motorsports.

The event would be open to all Black Series owners and would be a chance to run your cars in a safe environment.

Here is what I am thinking:
  • Road Atlanta or Barber Motorsports
  • 2 Day event
  • Either a Thursday/Friday or Monday/Tuesday
  • Professional Instructors if required
  • Service team on site for suspension set-up/ minor issues
  • Costs would be determined by the number of people attending

If a group of West Coasters would like to attend, perhaps we could arrange to ship a group of cars together.

Who would be interested?

I have been invited to the Hilton Head Concours with my 1978 928 which is in October. If the dates don't conflict I'd be interested in doing something at Road Atlanta.
