And I'll send an email and hand some flyers out to the import locals where I live to help spread the word

Yes, TnT is open to all make/model vehicles.
We have tried for years booking Bakersfield, but they apparently are not interested. Even after sending over references from near by IFO tracks, we still can not get a return phone call or email.

I can provide for dozens of track owner/manager references. Pretty much all the top drag racing facilities in the nation can vouch for me.

need more help getting rid of these fliers. SoCal racers, if you want IFO to return year after year, please help the success of this first event by placing some fliers on display at area shops. You even get paid for it: http://importfaceoff.net/promoters.htm
So far hardly anyone from SoCal has offered to help. Other locations like our Gainesville and Houston events coming up these next two weeks, 50+ sign up for each, year after year!

WORD - I received a decent check from IFO last year. Paid for my entrance, fuel, and food

Did you guys look int the possibility of a Nor Cal IFO event. Infineon Raceway is world class but I've heard they have a bad taste in their mouth from an "import" event over 10 years ago. We also have Sacramento Raceway, not as high caliber facility as the others but they have sport compact races every year and the shoot out the last 2 years. I know it's a haul for the So Cal guys to drive up here but an event is always better than no event.

We have tried both... no response from Infineon. Sacramento mgt wants us to pay them plus pay other Import event promoter before we can bring our event there. It's politics/business that we are not willing to conform to.

I have a question about the flyers, does it get racers and car show entrants $3 off also? Or only spectators? I noticed on the back it says $17 with flyer for spectators but it doesnt say anything about it working for car show or race entrants.

it's very hard to book an Import event with a track that has dealt with other failed Import circuits in the past. I've tried booking Bakersfield for years now, but have yet to even get a response. Hopefully Park can make it happen though. If Bakersfield makes the 2012 IFO schedule, it'll be because of him!

I remember going to some of these tracks years ago. Bakersfield and Fontana are the only top notch tracks that are available for events. Infineon of course isnt available but is a great track as well. Sacramento doesnt even compare to the Bakersfield and Fontana. That place is only good for local test n tune if anything.
Of all the tracks that are/were in Cali, I would rated this way.

Dude, Sac is the fastest track on the west coast.

Sac's track was garbage at the outlaw race. I had to pull every bit of power out I could up to 700ft. Fontana hooks up for sure, I dont have any logs at Fomoso though. We are getting ready for the the IFO fontana race.
