I just spent an hour or so on the phone with Ken Rahaim (in Belgium?) getting a crash course in "F-body Events". We had suggestions to "piggyback" onto a NASA or similar event. Ken and I thought it might be a good idea (for the first year at least) to set up an FRRAX section within the National F-Body Motorsports Event that he runs every year. This would give us a chance to get together, meet other owners, enthuiasts, and have a little fun. This will also give me a chance to "follow Ken around" and learn how to pull this off as a seperate event in the future. At this point, it seems like it could be an excellent idea to get started and we can see where it leads in the future. This event has road course, autocross, and drag racing, so there is something for everyone.

So, how many people would road trip to Memphis in May or June for an event?

Discussion?

So depending on just when, I'd be up for it.

Ken's a great guy, too. We instruct at the same NASA events on occassion.

Thanks for the kind words Mike (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) !

As mentioned above we're looking at early to mid May. I'm talking with Paul Cartwright, the general manager of Memphis Motorsports Park, right now to nail down a date. Hopefully that doesn't clash with your schedule next year and you'll be able to make it out!

A couple of other things I forgot to mention in my last post:

First, I'm more than happy to answer any questions any of you have about the NFME. Second, you can check out the NFME "Come Out and Play" video (*wmv, 27MB):

NFME Video Source 1 (right click, save target as)
NFME Video Source 2 (right click, save target as)

I threw this compilation of clips from '96 (some of the older clips quality weren't the greatest) to '02 togehter to give folks an idea of what the NFME is all about.

And finally, you can check out some writeups we've received in various magazines over the years by clicking on the magazine thumbnails located at this link:

Again, let me know if you have any questions. We'd love to see the FRRAX gang setup in their own corner of the paddock!
