A shop in Fresno (Fresno Performance) is talking about renting the track, they are gauging interest to see how many participants would want to go. They havnt said anything about having any diesels run there yet but Im gonna talk em into it. IF it happens anyone Interested? Fresno Performance is where Erick Brown used to work and built alot of his CR cummins that put down 1128hp a little while back, so I think they will let us run.:angel:

"OK guys Nate and I are looking into holding a private track day at Famoso, it costs BIG money to rent the track so we would need to get everyone registered and PAID at least a month or so in advance. I'm looking into dates and costs right now and should have some more info up by the weekend.

We will need around 100 cars at $95 per vehicle(more cars will make it less), now before you say thats too much understand this will be a PRIVATE rental and you will get a TON of runs down the track. The guys on LS1tech did a similar event and guys were getting 12-15 passes in and from what I hear they had a blast.

We will create a Paypal account for those who wish to pay online, and we will of course have a way to pay with cash or money orders for those without Paypal access. All spots will be trasnferable, meaning if you break your vehicle or have an accident before the event you can sell your spot to someone else as no refunds will be given UNLESS the entire event becomes a wash and is called off in which case all funds will be refunded in full.

Your car/truck must be able to pass the track tech inspection, and if you have a car/truck faster than 9.99 you will need your NHRA Comp license and your car/truck must have the equipment required in accordance with your chassis ET certification to be allowed on the track. Motorcycles will be allowed as long as you comply with NHRA rules and regulations in regards to leathers and so on you are more than welcome.

So who is seriously interested in having loads of fun, we can have grudge races for those who have a bone to pick or would like to call someone out on the track.

There will also be a raffle for prizes and auto related services, maybe some apparel, you will be allowed one raffle entry per vehicle and will have the option to purchase more tickets at the track.

We will also have awards for quickest ET, fastest MPH and the best reaction time for the event. We may even have some peoples choice type awards for various categories such as best engine compartment, paint, overall car/truck and perhaps a few others if anyone has any ideas please PM me with your thoughts....

We'd just like to have a fun day and get as many people involved as we possibly can, we welcome your thoughts and suggestions!

Please keep it serious, POSITIVE and if your not interested in attending or helping further the cause I ask you please dont waste time with negative or useless posts


So who's down???? "

Count me in what does it cost to rent out for a day 10,000$? I'd rather keep the import entrys down and pay more per truck entry.

There will be some imports out there, but most of them will but 13's or faster.

Mostly domestics, I know of severl 8 second rides that will be out there getting ready for limited 10.5 class this year so there should be good prep.

Im not sure exactly how much it is to rent the track for a day.

This is being put together by the guy's on Nor Cal 1320! They are planning on having the track preped extreamly well, seeing that there are ALOT of fast vehicles. There was some talk of not wanting 80 13 second mustangs/Camaro's FWIW! They are also waiting to hear back from Sacramento as well, then will choose what track. Pat, sounds like it would be a good TNT for Casper!

10-4 on it not being @ Sac., Guess I read it wrong

"So I just got off the phone with David Smith at Sac and he said they can give us a Sat or Sun and will just cancel a test n tune for us. The prep will be good for the big dawgs and we would have run of the place for the day.
I'm still waiting for a relpy from Famoso and I will advise everyone as soon as I get a some solid information......
This should be a good time!"

"The last private Bako rental was 9am-4pm I believe, I'm hoping to hear back tomorrow and will post a date ASAP. Dave said he'd cancel a test N tune for us on just about any Sat or Sun but I'm going to do my best to book Famoso as the biggest majority of the entries are local guys, thats not to say something wont change but thats what we're shooting for"

"Well even after 1 call and 2 emails I have yet to hear a word from Blake at Famoso, but I will advise everyone as information becomes available....."

I know Sundays will work best for us. The hamsters will be playing baseball and softball then.

But then again that is right around the time for LSR for Casper. So I don't want my opinion to count for much..

Edit for the 3rd first LSR event is in May.
