We can only wish.

Nice to see some activity on that site though with the question about a 1/2 mile event.

My "pull" isn't strong on this one!

But come up to PBIR tomorrow for some grudge racing. Should have a decent number of Vettes out there.

I wish I could go, but unfortunately I have to work 2nd shift through Monday, then immediately move to 3rd shift for a week. My work schedule doesn't allow much time for social activities as I only get 2 weekends off out of every 5.

Justinjr invited me a few days ago and it sucks not to see you and Justin run with this weather and the new mods. Be sure to get some good video so I can live vicariously through you guys...

I went to a few of them, there were two different guys doing the same deal, one was cheap with a lot of cars one was pricey with fewer cars but a catered lunch, heard people at that event got bored running the mile and started racing side by side (3-4 wide even) and that the FAA got pissed as that was not the intended purpose of the runway lease. Heard they mandated a rule change and that there would be no more events like that at any FAA airport facility.

Those videos exist on youtube. At least they used to.

I inferred from what Rogan told me (the promoter of the "cheap" event in April 2010) that under no circumstance, no way no how, could we race each other out there. I think the racing took place in January from the "rich guys"? Perhaps he was told by the FAA that we had better not race.

Last I emailed him he said he was still working on it...but it's been a few months now.
