Zilvia Meet-Interest/Attendance Poll

With TNord's help, we found an ideal place. http://www.midamericamotorplex.com/ We were thinking of August 15-17, the place is located in Pacific Junction, IA. There's a great road course, a 1/4 mile track, a kart track, and a jet ski lake. It's almost in the center of the US (Location was a big deal for us, considering how many of you guys live in all different parts of the country). We wanted to make this a big meet, and the more of you guys tell us you're interested, the better it will get. Eight months is sufficient for planning. Please let us know if you are interested. We'd like to have a raffle, do bbq, race, and have fun. Post any other ideas you guys might have, we'd like to know what you think.

So, please, choose your option in the poll, and we'll keep you guys updated.

Thanks so much!

A tad bit far

But I will make it happen only if it's worth it. ::50 road courses seem to be worth it:: My only issue is getting the SR out there. She would be great going out but coming back after flogging her on the track for a few hours is a different beast altogether. Maybe I will trailer it w/ my mom's explorer.

That should come to think of it. I'll be there. (Where's the damn thumbsup smiley when you need it

Sounds like a great idea and I really hope it comes together, but it is a bit far for me.

I don't see 50 road courses? I do see one pretty handsome one though - just bring extra brakes, I see several serious braking zones w/o much cooling space.

Jet Ski lake would a lot of fun.

**edit* - Barcari's "location" rocks*

I think the 50 came from their about page where they make the statement

Quote:
The United States is home to fifty road courses that handle professional NASCAR events as well as clubs; however there are only twenty that cater only to the car clubs, bike clubs, and focus on the recreational aspect. This aspect of non-professional racing is the fastest growing sport in the nation. It is with this in mind that MAM's designers have created Mid-America Motorplex.
But the track looks nice anyway.. I'll probably be interested in showing up.

Yup! You guys were right, of course . I think i got too track-happy to read carefully. But that's okay, I have blonde highlights.

-Irena

Sorry, all!

Edit: Well, now that I eased off the fact that someone made the world's perfect Auto Racing Complex, I read that the jet ski racing won't be open 'till 2004. Not sure that any of you wanted to go do jet ski racing anyway, but yeah...

If I were to go am I allowed to bring friends who dont drive Nissan. The reason I ask is I dont wanna drive the whole way by myself that would not be much fun.

its nice to know you guys are settign something up like this, I will definately have my car by then, no major mods, just a few suspension mods, and autocross experience. But you know I'll be there of course pretty close for me.

And to whoever asked about the 240sx meet on the east coast, the convention is going to be in atlanta this year, but that will be in april i think.


O ya and happy new year to you all, never got the chance to say that.

i think non-nissans should be allowed....especially considering i probably won't have my 240 anymore, and the guy i would bring would either have a Datsun1600 roadster or a Spec Miata.

cool!

I think I can make that happen...then I might just drive back with Mark/Irena so I can go to a wedding in Ft. Collins the following weekend. Hope my new job (that I don't even have yet) won't mind. I guess I'll just tell them during the interview!

I'll have my T28 on by then

I'm there as long as I can actually find a 240 that I want for sale. I'll get my friends to come out and make a roadtrip out of it.
