I don't currently race, but it sounds like we need a sign up list at least for a potential head count. There are at least 5 guys posting about TSM...I believe, so only a few needed. Lisa OConnor should have Sam's old car ready by then. She is having Cal tune it on Sat at the dyno.

The biggest problem with all these events is promotion.
The people who put them on don't get the word out soon enough, or in as many places as what is needed.
The guy who puts on the Lights Out race in Georgia this weekend is on social media daily promoting this event. There are threads on the racing sites. There are banners on the racing sites. Everybody in the outlaw community knows about it. They already know who all is coming.
You have to dig to find info on the Buick events.
I try to put the info out on the TSM facebook page, but I am only reaching 500 or so people at this point.
The GS Nationals has a facebook page and they do put some info out there.

I wouldn't want to commit on a list just in case something prevented me from making it. With an 8 car minimum field I could waste up to 7 peoples entire weekend.

That's an issue, but I was thinking there might be 9-10 thinking the same thing..."There's no way we're gonna get 8 cars!!!" If a list of interested racers were started...then you could have at least a rough head count. Commitment would need to be made with at least 2 weeks...or even a week. It's just a thought.
That does stink. I was jazzed about the potential to hit a dyno, the track, and kick-butt roller coasters all in the same weekend.

There is no way we would have an 8 car field, 6 maybe-but not 8. It's too bad because we were looking forward to it.

They should bend/change some rules so people will show up.....

Those heads up classes would rather have 3 car fields then bend the rules.

When the Friday track rental was eliminated, it put a hamper on this event. A one day race on a Sunday is not cost effective to attend from a racer from a distance.
I am approximately 8 hours away (500 mi). Between fuel (round trip) and hotel, it would cost me a minimum of $1,000 to attend. I would have no problem attending if Friday still had a track rental. I then could spend Saturday at Bushar's and/or Cedar Point. Race on Sunday and then drive home on Monday.
Last year, the Friday's T&T was combined into the track's Friday evening program....good luck with that because that is opening day and everyone is going to be there. I think last year it was over 1,000 cars T&Ting.
