So has Mike comfirmed that he is going to organize the 2003 expo? Post some info here if you have it. I might help out depending on which track is decided on.

 

I like the idea of an east and west coast event. Just make sure they are not on the same date (try and space them a month apart) so some people can hit both of them

where are people thinking about having it?

VIR, the Glen, Lime Rock, etc?

 

VIR VIR VIR VIR VIR VIR VIR VIR VIR
i think most will agree

 

I would like to see:
-Summit Point for ITR Expo...
-VIR full for a Honda/Acura Expo...

I have told Mike that I would help in any way needed.

Someone (me?) will need to contact Jon F. and see what his views are.

Will

 

Sounds like a cool idea, let a Prelude in on the fun

 

i'd like to see it at VIR (if available) or something closer south. CMP or Roebling perhaps?

-jeff, who will make it to VIR one day

 

In before the lock.

 

I like the idea of both east and west also.

Yellow Dragon, who doesn't want to wait til '05 for a Midwest EXPO.

 

Hmm I must be missing something.. but why would this thread get locked? There is no flaming or anything. I'm just trying to get info about the next Expo

 

I would like insurance and EMT included in the upfront cost this time

 

I have a few ideas on the matter, Definately would like to see what Jon says. Also we already have a repeat Sponsor King Motorsports They are interested in helping any way they can.

Will shoot me an IM when you get a chance.

 

Mike, you should get in touch w/ Jon Felton. He's put on some great events, and should be more than willing to do this one.

I can IM his number to you if you like. He'll be able to find instructors and workers, etc.

Warren

 

An east coast and a west coast separate meet is a great idea. Switching off every year is kinda lame. I'm looking forward to helping in any way that I can. Even if it's providing King Cobra Double Malt 40s to Mike to clear his head.

 

Despite what Ken's opinions were after the EXPO, he did put in his part to make the last EXPO happened.

For those who didn't take part in EXPO 02 (either participating or help setting it up) but think that you could have done it better:

For those who are stepping up for the EXPO 03, good work. Please learn from the last 2 EXPOs and try to make this one a perfect one. Again, keep "safety" in mind as some of the tracks mentioned might not have a lot of run-off areas.

 

Hmmmmm I like getting screwed on both coasts = drive ~ 1100 miles either direction, but never in the midwest (how Gingerman is considered midwest, I have NO idea )...

As I recalled, we voted for which track to go for EXPO 02. First came up to be VIR, Gingerman second. No dates were available for VIR so we decided on Gingerman. Every participant (including myself) seemed to be very happy with the track we picked.

Then Ken said we could use CGI because it would be easier to get track dates (and we did get one on memorial holiday). Once Wes and CGI got hooked up, Ken did annouce that he would be out of the picture. He would let the organizers to deal with the details. As much as I have already expressed my appreciation to Wes to make the EXPO 02 happened, I still think that the issues of insurance and on-site EMT should have taken into account when planning the budget initially. I blamed it on the miscommunication and inexperience. Not Wes (or Ken) personally, and hope the next organizers can learn from it.

Ken's opinion on certain participants' behavior is his opinion. And I'm not going to comment on that. But please don't mix that with how the event was setup and put all the blame on him.

Remember, I was VERY UPSET with the little dramas too. But did I pick out a particular individiual to blame on? Or call any particular individiual a jackass? Please people.

 

Jeff: You're LUCKY. I have to drive 700-1400 miles for an EC event and well more than that for a west coast event.. unless the east coast event was in Florida.. then we could mix LEGAL (o)(o)'s with the track event

I don't really want this thread to get on the subject of Ken, Phil sucks, Ken's outright lies, CGI sucks, or the ITR EXPO 2002. Let's look forward to ITR Expo 2003 and just not make the same mistakes this time in trusting the wrong people to run the event. (edit: This is not directed at Wes and crew!!!!!!!)

How about an oval event at Dover?

yshi - who'd like to see 40+ ITRs going around in circles ala NOSCAR

 

Hell yeah!

-Dave, who would wear his Viagra Racing Team NASCAR hat with pride at ITR Expo 03 at the OVAL

 

I have an excellent contact (Read senoir VP) at Speedway motorsports....they have Atlanta, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Sears Point, Bristol, and Texas. Yeah I know most are ovals but they have road courses. If theres interest I could make some calls.
Jody

 

Lowes Motor Speedway road course = nice chit!
but may be cost prohibitive.....

Will
-who would like to drive there once again.

 

Hmm...Sears Point...I was there this weekend for the histoics, 2 weeks ago for the American Le Mans, 4 weeks ago for AMA Superbikes...repaving the entire course for 2003...
