Its a really cool event. There would be no planning on our part. All we'd have to do is just see how many could make it and just met up. Im hoping some interest will come of it.

there is always the Indy motorspeedway also,

and I would definately be down to travel a ways if we get a meet together

Indy... now that's a good idea.

Hmm... The Grand Prix factory is in Kansas city, isn't it? I think it'd be cool to do like a group tour of the place

Grand Prix plant WAS in Kansas City, Kansas.
Begining with the '03 model, it's now in Canada.

I dont know if Indy does any kind of event where they would let you take your car on the track...but being able to go to Indy would be awesome...the granddaddy of all racing in the USA...to get a shot of my ride on the"stripe of bricks" would be fantastic!...I think I remember seeing something over at ClubGP where a local chapter got together at Lowes MotorSpeedway (Charlotte) and got to do some laps there...just not sure where I saw it.

That is actually happening on april 8th, this year, I was going to go, but didnt get signed up quick enough to hang out with all the other GP'rs on pit road so I dont really want to drive all the way to have to park somewhere else, but it should be a pretty cool event

If this actually gets off the ground, maybe where ever we end up, we could locate a dyno and see if we could get a group rate on all of us getting dyno'd.

Has anyone been giving a serious thought on having a met?

During a NASCAR race, I was thinking about Indy 500 weekend. I know that would be crazy but it would be cool.

Here's what the Southwest region has to offer:

TMS Laps for Charity. Plans can be made for next year in May, or this year in September.
I'm sure I could find someone in the DFW area with a dyno and we could all get dyno'd at a group rate. We could get that done one day.
Malibu Grand Prix Speedzone either on Friday night or Saturday afternoon. We could get some competition going. They've got 4 events, two are timed, and the other two are head to head. One with up to 15 cars at a time (slick track), and one with 20 cars at a time (grip track).
Dragsters and Grand Prix tracks are timed events. I could possibly get with Brian and have him donate 4 $25 gift certificates to go to the winner of each of the four events.
End it all on Saturday evening with the Laps for Charity event held at TMS. 3 paced laps for $25, plus another $10 to have your pic taken in Victory Lane. Dallas area GP owners usually show up for this, we could hook up with them on the way in so we all go in together.
There's also a GM truck plant in Arlington, but I haven't been able to find anything about taking a tour there. Not sure if they even give tours. I'll have to find a number for them and call.
Plus there are numurous other things to do in the DFW area.
There are also a couple of drag strips in the area. We could do that on Friday night.

Unfortunatley I know this will be too far for some to travel, but that's what I've come up with for this region.
What else is out there.
Who has any other ideas.

thanx for the info Austin...those things sound like they would be a good dose of fun (lets just remember to find things for those of us who have wives and girlfriends who aren't car nuts)...like you said, plenty to do around that area...I'm still trying to dig up info for around here (RIR) but still have nothing yet...we have plenty of other things here but they arent local to the track so it would involve some moving around...Texas is quite a hike for me and for some others but that is a cool list of things to do...of course its a hike for you guys to travel too (Texas is just so darn big!)...we'll need to gather some more info and see if we can get a concensus on something...so far we have "Cruisin on the Coast" (Ole Miss) and the "Texas Motor Speedway Malibu Blast" (hey, we gotta call it somethin!)

I'll be at the TMS laps for Charity this year...


I think it would be awesome to do the Hot Rod Power Tour......IMO.........

I'll be in touch with you later on next month. I'm going this year too.

I believe Mike(99GT2dr) will be taking one of his GP's too. And I believe Dove5295 from clubgp, say he is going to try and make it. I know his car is at Loyds right now though
