The idea of a nationwide track rental for charity was brought up in another thread and I wanted to start this one as to not clutter that one up. I think its a great idea and tried this once at MIR but I guess it was too far for the west coasters. Somewhere in the middle of the US would be ideal. Lets see what kind of interest we can get for this and start trying to plan an event.

IN!

One things we should look into is:
transport for cars.. Maybe see if there is a group rate. Anyone have a connection with a transport company?

I for sure will help sponsor the event.. Along with getting a few more companies to join in..

i say anything for Cancer, or children makes for a winning cause.

Maybe we could even do it at one of those "mile events"

vinnyz

if u guys talk to jcart he owns trucking company and he might be willing to jump in .. i'm still retired but getting tempted lol

I know Intercity gives discount to 6speedonline members. Maybe we can work out a group deal. If its close enough I might just drive my car up and back so eople stop thinking its a race car lol

Awesome for the sponsorship efforts.

I agree, anything for cancer or children is a good idea. My personal preference would be a lymphoma research charity but like I said anything to help kids or cure cancer is great

I work for an inernational shipping company. We might be able to do some moves for people. From WC to MW. just not sure if there would be a group rate as one off shipments aren't usually our cup of tea. I will have a chat with the woman who is in charge of our MB relationship. Who knows, would be quite awesome to have them out there No Guarantees though.

Count me in! I'd also like to meet a few tuners at this event as I'm shopping for new LT headers, more aggressive cams and a new exhaust system.

BenzoBoi

I'm down....as long as the DA's and weather cooperate at whatever track we'll be at...

RisingESun

Im in depending on location! If it is central US or East. Getting to the west coast would be a nightmare.

Can we make this a sticky?

I would love to be involved in something like this if its near the midwest me being in chicago. My mother is and has been fighting cancer so any type of cancer funding or any type of terminal illiness that we can raise money for is aleays a great idea. Were where u guys thinking of doing this any idea?

What about something in the Texas area? No reason, just think that its kinda in the middle "ish" of the USA

Anything Cancer related works for me. My cousin is battling for his life with Glioblastoma brain cancer. So Im down for raising or help raising money for any kind of event that sends money to help fight a cruel disease.

blackbenzz

I was thinking Chicago area but Texas might work too.

V12Godspeed

We don't have a date for this yet, correct? If it is a few months away I am in. My Daughter will be a few months old by then.

My Suggestion: Texas Motorplex

...another great Texas facility: Houston Raceway Park

Have been there multiple times, darn good facility.

There is hardly anything around (which sucks), but it is about 45min south of Dallas/Ft. Worth which could make for some fun times.

Whatever track we choose we have to make sure they are lax on the roll cage rules

RisingESun

Im am not sure Texas is real close. Especially for anyone on the East coast. Im in Ohio and it is a 20hr drive. I cant imagine anyone farther East making the trip to Texas.

hooleyboy

Maybe IB can get involved and open it up to the other car forums.

This needs to be sticky'ed

Marcus Frost

Chicago is the place to do it, man... my concern is the track I would recommend (Byron) is not too privy on being rented out... they make bank on the weekends and to rent it out to a group would be pretty costly. If we did it during the week, that would be a different story.

Awesome track, lax on rules, and I've run all my best times there.

I would definitely drive to Chicago and the city is awesome (as well as the mbworld members there). Dont know anything about tracks there though. That one route ___ track looks pretty bad lol

Dumb question, is this going to be for MB only? Either way I'd like to be involved. Especially in support of cancer, my mom has fought it and both her sisters have both passed on because of it...horrible horrible disease that needs a cure.

hooleyboy

Cancer is just a cruel disease, It knows no remorse. My cousin Who is battling The worst kind of brain cancer received great news on Christmas Only to have the cancer come back.. Now it looks to be terminal. I just spent the time from my last post in this thread to now on the phone with my brothers trying to get a flight to Boston ASAP as his condition is getting worse by the day..

If I can help raise money, donate money, what ever it takes to help fight something that rips lives apart, Leaves Kids without parents, Husbands without wifes vice versa , Friends without friends. I'm 100% down for that.

Cancer will effect all of our lives one way or another. I vote to find a great cancer charity and lets raise them some loot!

In all honesty I would love to make this event but travelling all the way to Chicago is a long journey. Either way I would donate to this cause whether I make it or not. I have lost family members to this horrid disease and what I could donate I will.

If and when this happens I will try my best to make it....I promise. I would love to run with the fastest MB's in the country and finally put some faces to these names.
