I think thats a great idea tex.......i thin it should be $15 for the night (5-6) hours and then you get 2 tickets, youcan get a whole pizza for 2 or buy something seperately different. cause if we can get 20+ guys that would be great. 20 guys times 15 per guy= $300........soo minus prolly 2 track guys is 100 + like 30 for electricity.......so thats $170 in profit????

just an idea

the reason i have the ??? is cause there is no date set yet, so i wanna go, but need to know the day...

[Tex]

How about a Monday night from 530pm to 1030pm (like normal practice) sometime in January?
This gives everyone a chance to build their christmas presents and come out and set them up and have a good time.

Around Chrismas is too hectic for me personally. I'm always rushing around during that time. It might be better for the kids cause they are out of school sitting around playing video games but for me it's responsibility time.

[kevinF]

a monday works

[UE-Maxx]

That's a good idea about setting a date after the holiday.

Tex, you going 1/10 2WD?

Keep in mind I'm all about what's best for the majority though...I can squeeze a day in during the christmas break. I think it's going to come down to track availability though, they are not going to give up any normal practice or race day for our "party". It's pretty much going to have to be a Monday.

[MX_KEVIN]

Matt should get ahold of Bern on Tues to see whats good for them...

Till then :moon:

[Casketman]

So house pizza and a monday in Jan. Price shall be?

All if bern gives it a go.

[Tex]

Monday is the only day the track is normally closed. Keep in mind, we've already done this once before. Bernie would only allow a Monday then (so it doesn't conflict the normal schedule) and I'm assuming it would be the same now.

Monday Dec. 18th
Monday Dec. 25th (x-mas)
Monday Jan. 1st (new years day)
Monday Jan. 8th
Monday Jan. 15th


Theres the dates.....I vote for Monday Jan. 8th

[Ponch]

Jan 1st,8th,15th,22nd,29th are all a Monday...

Edit-Argh! Beat me to it.

[chickenfarmer3]

the 8th is cool for me. gonna try to go to the gas champs at crcrc that is like the 27th weekend.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

argh is right...all the Mondays that school is off are Holidays! Bernie won't be open 12/25 or 1/1 !!

If it were 1/8/07 I would prolly attend, but the kids would be a no because they are both back in school that day.

No chance Bernie/Scott would consider a Saturday morning instead of practice or electric racing? (sorry electric guys)

[UE-Maxx]

I am not sure if I am back in school or not on the 8th, but if I am I wouldn't be able to make it.

[Tex]

I HIGHLY doubt it Dave. They will not screw up the ongoing schedule for this. At least they wouldn't last time and we had 20+ guys attending.

I think if we want to do it on a saturday then it would be open practice/chitownrc christmas party combined. For us to ask them to shut down a weekend day for just us is asking ALOT (I know alot isn't a word but it should be)

[Tex]

I'll tell ya though, the time we did it before it was the best time I've ever had at the track. With just us guys there BSing, there is no way to describe that. Uber Fun!!!

and super relaxing not having "jerks" or "snobs" up your ass if you breath wrong.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I know, just dreaming out loud.

I'd still do it on a Monday might without kids..but we'd lose a few members who are highschool age or younger. Bummer. Maybe a second plan will be to have as many Chitown guys attend an open practice night during break when no school is the next day. We wouldn't be "private" but it would still be fun.

[Tex]

The fun in sharing the track to the public with the party would go from 200% fun to 100% fun (or less)

You think you had fun at the track before? not even close

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I was just thinking of how to get the kids involved.

If we can't.... oh well.

[Tex]

but if the kids don't have fun because of high maintenance racers running over them then involving them will only make them not want to do it ever again.
I want John and Ryan there as much as you do, trust me!

[ATA_Thrash]

Ok so Jan 8th? I'm going to the track to practice maybe tues and for sure thurs so I'l talk dates with Bernie and see whats available.

[ATA_Thrash]

Im thinking 15$ should cover it per person.

Heck, they run over me!!! Ryan's prolly better at avoiding it than I am!
When Ryan drives, it's the walls that have to be worried.....mash:

Ryan, the trigger moves forward as well as back...they're called "brakes".
