To those who are worried about having a mechanical issue, and aside from the fact that there will probably be 100 guys in town who can fix a Fiero...consider the following. I drove my 88GT from California to both Michigan (20th) and Topeka (Wheatstock), drove the hell out of it on the track, and drove back to California with absolutely NO problems.

Same here

I posted this on my local car enthusiast forum. A few people seem interested in coming to out and race.

I hope we can fill it with Fieros but if not this is a good effort

I just sent $100 via paypal for the track day and I will post the form tommorrow, hope this event goes on now I finally decided to give it a try, I much more of a cruiser than a racer, but I will give it a try.

This is the last day - were are we with the sign ups?

I have alot of interested parties from the local xceedspeed forum that are interested with money. An update would be great.

Is track day going to happen? This definately affects my travel plans, hotel reservations, departure times and dates, etc........
Need to know, please!!!

We're extending the deadline for now. We have some additional sponsorship happening, and are working out details. I'll have an updated signup list later this morning, after we do some housekeeping with the Paypal account.

Right now, we're looking at next Thursday, July 17th. The additional sponsorship offers made this possible.

So we have an additional week to make this happen. GREAT!!!!!!!
What can be done to increase the attendance??????

darkhorizon - as I see it have them pay thier money - right???

Updated list of those who have paid:

1. Christian Korey
2. Blake Moore
3. Carl Clevenger
4. Gene Hoesman
5. Paul Hosler
6. Paul Smith
7. Keith Gerhard
8. Ed York
9. Mike Fullagar
10. Steve Reid
11. Martin Kirstein

At $150 each, it would only be 15 people with our current sponsorship. If that amount is a problem, and you have already signed up, we will give you a refund (please let me know if it is a problem).

We're getting there, little by little.

I thought it would be interesting for some of you on the fence to see the driving groups that will be running.

Blue - Street Car, Experience
Red - Street Cars, With some experience
Green - Competition License Closed Wheel
Yellow - Novice, Limited experience
White - Novice, No experience

I did this at the 20th and it was the highlight of my weekend! Unfortunately this time around I won't be able to enter but I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to drive their car better.

This track day will have 3 groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Each group runs on the track separately, so if you're a beginner you will NOT have cars racing by you at twice your speed.

I will pay 150 to make this a go. Do you want me to paypal you the additional $50 now or once we reach 15?

Naw, hang on a few days, I'll let you know. Thanks.

You have to the 17th to get in on the fun.
Don't miss this great opportunity to be on the track with other Fiero's
With the word going out to other clubs and car types you need to sign up now.

Bump

Not to rain on the party, but it looks like my car will not be track ready by the 24th. Show ready yes, but not track ready.

I am still good for the $150 to try to make this thing happen so you have not technically lost a car, just gained track space. Things may change, but I am not counting on it. Not much time left.

Ugg... this thread needs to see more action..

i am going to send a money order on tuesday .work and not having an american dollar checking account have got in the way .if you can take mastercard over the phone i can do that to .i dont have pay pal .i will send the money express .

Back to page one.

I have a feeling track day loses.... And here I had really high hopes of going to this.

Bear..you have a PM!

We have another sponsorship offer for $100, bringing the total to $1450. This lowers the threshold to 13 people, at $150, which so far everyone has agreed they would be willing to pay. We have 11 people paid and confirmed, and I haven't checked for signups since around last Friday. We're not out of the woods completely, but we're closer than you might think.

SWEET

a rented track for a day, and only 13 people

NICE

I am trying to talk my buddy into bringing his sand rail out for the day

so, we got 11 confirmed, darkhorizon holding out making 12.


we'll have a small enough group to play some games, eh? YAY

I expect a few more will show up the day of the event, and there are some other local car clubs that might participate. There will likely be more than 13, but perhaps not a lot more. Yes, the track probably won't be too crowded.

This is going to be fun...

R Runner it is a shame your car will not be running for the event, but bring your helmet and you can ride with me!

Now if only you had some 88 sway bars to test!

Come on!

who are the sponsers? I'll be sure to keep them in mind when I need stuff.

quote Originally posted by Pyrthian: who are the sponsers? I'll be sure to keep them in mind when I need stuff.

Two individuals, one of whom wishes to be anonymous. The other didn't specify. They aren't from any Fiero businesses. I'd sponsor, but it appears that I won't be able to go to the track day or the show. Business is way down for me, and on top of that my wife lost her job 2 weeks ago. That killed my chances to make the trip, and finances are tight. And it will cost a small fortune to make the trip from California, no matter how I'd go (even in a Fiero).

Bear,
Sorry to hear things are rough. They're rough all over though. Keep plugging away, it'll turn around eventually.

Anyone else sign up? Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see it happen but if it doesn't, I don't need to keep a hotel room for a day I'm not there.

Ron

I'm on the road today. I might know more about additional signups tonight.

150.00 money order and my signup form has been sent by express mail (3 days usually ) .tracking #LE 088 140 800 CA . MO # 0001004931 .

Well? Can we get an official count?
