Hey all you speed freaks!
There was a lot of interest last year for us to do this event again this year, so I am happy to announce that we have reserved the track again for Saturday July 3, 2010!
The event will be basically the same as last year as far as all the sessions will be limited to 15 cars each and run every 15 minutes from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM. The sessions will still be 5-lap sessions, paced by the safety crews, just as last year.
We will be doing the event a little bit differently this year, to make getting on and off the track much easier and MUCH more organized. Each one of you who registers will receive a dash plaque with the 2010 Vettes 4 Vets logo on it (similar to the one above), a window sticker with your car number and your session numbers. You will also receive two event tee shirts and wrist bands. All of this for $100.00
The registration is limited to the first 200 Corvettes.
Registration will be open from around the first of March, 2010 until the first of June, 2010 or when the sessions have been filled. You can register for as many packages as you want. I will mail out your credentials on about June 5th, which will include your credentials, wrist bands, directions, window stickers, tee shirt coupons, and dash plaque. The tee shirts will be available Friday night at the get-together and also at the track.
The host hotel will probably be the same one as last year. There are plenty of hotel rooms available in the area. We made a deal with the Hampton Inn last year and the plan is to use the same hotel this year. There is also a Holiday Inn at the same exit. You are welcome to make your own room plans.
NEW THIS YEAR!!!
We are working on a deal with the NASCAR museum to let us use their facility for a Friday night party. So far, we have the NASCAR Museum from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. The normal admission for the museum is $10 per person, but we plan to have food and entertainment included for just a couple dollars more. More details will be given as they become available. The details will be on the web site and you can pay for the Friday night party when you register fro the Saturday event.
Also New This year,
we will line up the cars in the garage area according to your session number. The first 3 garages will be for session #1, the second three for session #2, and so on. That way there will be no bottle neck in the garage area as before. The path around the end of the garage will be blocked off this year, and only used for safety and emergency vehicles. All track goers will line up through the garages. We will have people working the garage area all day to help make it easier on you.
After the first 400 sessions have been run, additional sessions can be purchased by pre-registered guests at a discounted price of $25 each as time allows. This time will also be used for the volunteers and supporters to gain access to the track. These sessions will be open to all car types and will also be paced laps. If you are willing to offer rides for volunteers, the additional sessions will be free.
Attached is a flyer and registration form you can share with your club and other Vette enthusiasts at your local cruise-ins.
