Plan on doing your trip to IC in mid to late June next year, then Bob. The track manager told me that they are about to finish building a new classroom, new drivers lounge, and they are building bathrooms (yes, with running water, FINALLY) as well. I'll even give folks from Rennlist (well, most of them -- at least one is not welcome) some kind of discount for their efforts to get out and see this fantastic 4.1-mile track. This would be a great way to meet you all, and it would be fun to share with you a new track. I hope Mike comes out, too -- I'll supply the Tanqueray.

rhut rhoh, once you've developed a taste for a martini, there's no turning back. bwahahaha. There's nothing like that initial taste bud rush of an ice cold martini to make you go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Try out Tanqueray Ten sometime. It's got a very nice taste to it.

Mike: if you think Tanqueray 10 is great, you should try Hendrick's. That's all my wife (the martini drinker in my family) will drink these days.

Thanks for the advice, Mike. John said about the same thing -- I bought him a bottle of 10 for his birthday back in May. If I like this, maybe I'll try Michael's wife's suggestion, as well.

None are filled by the GCC07 wannabe challenge, and never will be. You don't just call up a track and expect them to give you a date if you haven't even organized something before. That really is some stupid thinking. Who the heck do you think you are, really, Frank? The tracks around here take on people they TRUST, through years of our committment to putting on prosperous track events and races there. For you to have a track supply a track rental, you would have to ride in on the coat tails of a group that has a proven record. That's just how it goes. If you don't believe me, just ask any event organizer. They'll back up this post.
you're such a dumbass bon... what does open test and tune sound like? anybody can go. since there's only like 3-4 drivers that's planning to be at GCC07, there's no need to do an fancy exclusive rental when a test & tune day is sufficient. get over yourself... being an event master doesn't make you a special person. ANYBODY can rent a track if they have money. stupid. this is America, money talks.

You are WRONG as usual. I did one in 2003 @ Buttonwillow.

See, GhettoChicken isn't really organizing anything. He is just doing his usual LIAR crap. Then he calls an accomplished event organizer some names, and now he will again run and hide again.

He is so predictable, and such a consistent LOSER!

***No, you supposedly helped someone out. You did not organize anything yourself. Next lie? Oh, and the thing about RFR's test and tune. That would not be you organizing anything, either. AND it is not a full on track event or race day. It is a way for the track to generate revenue. To get that track permit, you must either have a current race license with either SCCA or NASA, or you must be cleared either by the track's own school, or one such as mine. Don't even try Frank -- I know more than you do on this subject. Spewing nonsense won't get you anywhere.

And watch what you say to folks like me, at least in regard to track days and such -- I can make life awful difficult for you at our local tracks, including RFR. Now who needs to get over themselves, huh, 'dumbass'? I don't need to get over myself -- I take pride in the fact that I've been in this self-sustaining business for over five years now. I worked hard to get where I am at, so insults from you don't do a thing for me. If you'd only get a clue, life could be so much more pleasant for you. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water . . .

One more thing, Frank . . . no, anybody cannot rent the track just because the plop the money on the table unless that day is already available. Once the track and an organizer sign the contract, that day belongs to that group unless they cancel. You are so clueless on how this works.

Another one of GhettoChicken's ironies. He thinks that you can just throw money at any problem, yet he has no money himself.

For someone who doesn't care about this forum, you sure did manage to waste your time in order to bring an old and dead thread back to the top.

I wouldn't know the difference between a good and a bad performance. Obviously you do.

Instead of sitting at the keyboard, why don't you go out and learn how to drive, no talent.
