Ted,
I agree and only meant it could be easily obtained...while
offering no current knowledge as to actual costs. I know'the NE
Corvair Club rents Limerock once or twice a year for
such events with a pretty reasonable participation fee.
As to "side by side" I again acknowledge that such
opportunity can and should be VERY limited. When the
Long Island Sports Car Association ran events like this
at Bridgehampton, there was only ONE passing spot allowed
and that was about 2/3 of the main straight which was
delineated clearly with flags.
Just some thoughts.
Cheers to all,
Bill Sohl
