QUOTE (trackbird @ Oct 13 2004, 10:19 AM) ... 450 from Dallas That may be fairly "reachable" by everyone... From Dallas it's not a bad drive. Done it a few times. Being on a new track would be worth the drive also. :drive: |

I had a blast in Indy in '03. I definately will go to Memphis, being only three hours away. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

DO I have to bring my Camaro or can I bring my C5?
It seems I can only have one reliable race car at a time (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) and it doesn't appear that that is Barney's time... |

QUOTE (John_D. @ Oct 12 2004, 09:45 PM) It's 3 1/2 hours for me. I'd do it. Wherever we go, I'll be driving to and from, no trailering... 3 flat for me. Hopefully will have the 6 speed in by then and could come out for the weekend. |

Barney, You've still got a good half year to get your f-body ready (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Nevertheless, the NFME is an f-body only event. We do allow some exceptions which you can read about in the NFME FAQ here: http://www.fbody-event.org/bin/faq.cgi#1 If your f-body won't be ready by next May, send me a private message and we can discuss. Thanks for understanding. |

I was planning to make the trip, now it will be sweeter.
Those that road trip together, we could rent a moving van to carry tires and tools. |

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. |

I heard that as well.
My thinking is this, I can learn from Ken (so we can possibly "go it alone" in the future if we decide to), we can all meet up and put names with faces, hang out, etc. And, we can see what kind of turnout we might expect for a future event. Not perfect, but possibly an excellent start. |

I'd be interested in coming too. It would be just in time for my vacation! I hope this works out. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Agreed Evan. This ain't no Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta or Spa-Francochamps (I've run 'em all (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ), but then again, pushing yourself is just as much of a challenge at any given track. And as Kevin said, this is as much a social event as anything else. Nevertheless, the big sweeper at the end of Memphis' monster front straight is a hoot. The esses are pretty challenging and Grant's Tomb ain't no piece of cake either (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Of course it could be worse... the NFME could be held at Nelson Ledges (IMG:http://media.theinsiders.com/Media/Other/229031_barf.GIF) . |

I've been to this track before but as a spectator. Like others have said its not very technical. But track time is track time. But seeing nothing but F-body on the track is a sight!!! To anybody that hasnt driven there car across a traction compond equipped drag strip, it might be another thing to throw into the mix. Especally if there's a little rain around (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)
Seeing that Im not going racing in the 05 OLOA I might have some more time to play. If I can get the time off I will try to make it. looks like 1200 miles for me aprox. But after driving 7600 + miles in 10 days its just a quick trip (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) John |

It appears that I can get the time off to go, so the plan is for me to be there. I hope you guys can make it too.

What is the cost for this event? Did I miss that somewhere in the thread?
