Sacramento Raceway: BATTLE OF THE GERMAN STEEL

OK guys, got final confirmation on Sac. Raceway

This event is open for anyone but majority are driving German made cars...hence the title.

Anyways, each person will have to pay $280 for the track rental including insurance and track prep with methanol/VHT

We have January 27th and February 10th open.

Date: Jan 27th or Feb 10th 2008
Time: TBD

We will have 5 hours of racing, and only 25 participants.

YOU MUST PASS TECH INSPECTION!

When I went with Rocket, there was some dude in a tropical shirt and a cigar.

His quote, "What cha gonna run"

I'm like, "Well, I was hoping for 12's but ya never knowwwww, maybe if I hook up"

Cuts me off "K good luck, NEXT!!"

$280 for each person? Is this a 1/4 track? Isn't that a lot?

It's not cheap for a private rental @ Sacramento

Same deal on track prep right Adam? Not asking for Pomona Finals quality, but perhaps a little spray or something if we are all going sideways.

Get The Money First

OK Adam.

I am in. $280.

What can I do to help make sure we get the other 24?

I would really like to see 20 people paid in before you put the final money down on the track.

Gentlemen. Lets not show up to the track and have only 12 people show and we all end up paying $560 each. Euroelites are not in a position to pay for those who do not show.

Hey Adam, do you have a paypal account? Get everyone to send payment via paypal and that way we will know where we stand so there are no surprises come raceday.
