SURVEY RESPONSE-
THE DETERMINING FACTOR FOR A GATHERING IS GOING TO BE AVAILABILITY OF THE
TRACK. HERE IN THE MIDWEST THE TRACKS ARE SPOKEN FOR ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND
FROM APRIL TILL OCTOBER. IT WILL TAKE SOME DOING TO FIND A DATE THAT IS
ACCEPTAPLE TO THE GROUP. THE NEXT PROBLEM TO OVERCOME IS THE TRACK RENTAL
FEE. CURRENTLY GINGERMANN IS GOING FOR APPROX 7000.OO A WEEKEND. INORDER TO
RESERVE A DATE DEPOSIT WILL HAVE TO BE PLACED, PROBABLY 1000.00. HAVING THE
EVENT DURING THE WEEK WOULD SAVE CONSIDERABLE DOLLARS ON TRACK RENTAL AND OPEN
UP THE TIME FRAME CONSIDERABLY.
I THINK HAVING A GATHERING OF THE FAITHFUL WITH ANOTHER EVENT IS A GOOD
POSSIBILITY. NO SANE ORGANIZATION WOULD TURN DOWN 30 PLUS ENTRANTS FOR ANY
RACE WEEKEND. THIS WOULD ACCOMODATE THE RACERS BUT LEAVE THE SOLO GROUP OUT
IN THE COLD.
RULES ARE ANOTHER PROBLEM. WITH THE VARIOUS VINTAGE GROUPS THERE ARE AS MANY
SETS OF RULES OR LACK THEREOF AS THERE ARE CLUBS. I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD
BE A RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG WOULD BE THE ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION UNTIL THE GROUP
COULD DECIDE WHAT IT WANTS. A SINGLE SET OF VINTAGE RULES THAT EVERYONE
SUBSCRIBED TO WOULD BE NICE.
HAVING AN EVENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE VTR NATIONAL CONVENTION WOULD BE THE
BEST OPTION. PROBABLY A TWO DAY PERFORMANCE ORIENTED MEET BEFORE THE
CONVENTION CONVENED WOULD BE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR MOST OF THE GROUP TO
ATTEND. THE VOLVO CLUB IS HAVING THEIR NATIONAL CONVENTION AT WATKINS GLEN
THIS YEAR.
YES I WOULD TRY AND PLAN TO ATTEND AND RACE MY TR 3
YES I WOULD TRY AND DONATE TIME TOWARDS THE EVENT.
CENTRALLY LOCATED WOULD BE A PLUS FOR EVERONE.
TO RUN A RACE YOU NEED TWO THINGS RULES & MONEY.
GINGERMANN WOULD BE A PERFECT TRACK CENTRALLY LOCATED, LOTS OF RUNOFF AREA AND
IN A NEAT TOWN.
I CAN NEGOTIATE WITH THE OWNER DAN SCHNITTA IF THE GROUP WANTS TO RACE THERE.
