David,

I will get back when I have more time but for starters the 2 tracks most likely to work well are Houston Raceway Park in Baytown (suburb of Houston) or Texas Motorplex in Ennis (30 miles south of Dallas).

Houston may work better for Californians and Floridians as I-10 comes straight through from both.

For starters look here:

Also, you left out the LX470 and the GX470

As far as class goes, it may be much better to do it based on time rather than models. Early stock LS400s would compete better against early stock SC400s than against 1998+ LS400s. In fact, by year would be another option. Of course you can still make fastest model awards based on timeslip.

Both of these tracks can easily handicap cars allowing for even racing between ANY of the cars. Here is how it works. Make a few passes to learn how quick/fast a car is. Say it runs a 15.2 second time. Now another car runs 14.1 seconds. You simply tell the starter to handicap the faster car by 9 tenths. The light goes green for the slower car 9 tenths sooner and the first car accross the finish wins. You can handicap for 1 onehunreth or 3 seconds or more (more or less or anything in between).

OK!! This is great!!

A few important items to discuss, decide upon and plan...

1)Either track looks good, how much for or event?
2)Do we charge each member participating? If so, how much?
3)Do we charge for racing on the track? How much?
4)We need some sponsors, especially a major player. Any suggestions? JBrady, do you know the local Lexus Dealer? Are they open to this kind of event?

That is at least a start. Any other suggestions?

This does look good and I'll help promote as much as possible. Not sure what Lex I'll have by then. It would be cool to attend.

Hey Sicklex,

You guys should setup a meet in Texas instead of NY. We can all get together at the same place...

lets do it in chicago! we will have surprises up here by then!

 

[Red Supra]

I vote for chicago too. I think the west and the midwest has the highest concentration of boosted toyota v8's.

 

[WDoherty]

I vote for Texas, i just flew up to chicago this summer to buy the car and drove it back to west texas, plus is more central.

 

[chrisman]

chicago sounds good-- but if its texas, maybe we can get all the chicago guys to drive down together..
