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? |

I'd be up for doing that. I was already planning on attending the national f-body event next year anyway.
One thing I would point out, the Memphis roadcourse is ok, but it's definitely not something those of us that have driven several different tracks are going to be impressed by. It's a nice beginners track, but is nowhere near as challenging as many of the dedicated roadcourses around the country. Not saying it isn't fun, especially with that 1/2 mile plus front straight, but it's nowhere close to a Hallett, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, etc. |
