Default [Ratpack]Langley Speedway pace lap again?

I asked a few members and have gotten a lot of people saying that they would love to go again. I want to get a basic head count and some ideas on dates where the most people would be able to attend. I know the weekend of July 4th will not work, but other than that I am not sure what is open for people.

For thoes of you who don't know what I am talking about. A while ago I set up a pace lap at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Va for the Ratpack. The turnout was great considering the weather and everyone had a good time. We were on the track with a lot of police cars and some other cars, but I want to try to make it just us this time. I was thinking doing the laps then either trying to get parking on the infield or heading over to the bass pro car show like last time.

Once I have a date that works for the majority I will call them and ask about reserving it and what we would need to do.

I'd probably be up for that...

No track time is bad track time, right?

I assume you are doing it at the Saturday Night races (19th) or is it a Sunday private lapping session?

Crap, your right... the 19th. I just glanced at my calander earlier when I was in a rush.

I called them today, but the lady I need to talk to wasn't there... I am going to call again tomorrow.
