I was thinking that we need to get a major company to start a import race series that runs in the Nor-Cal area only. Maybe run a total of 6 races a year but the problem I see with this is where are you going to run because you don't want them all at Sonoma even though it's a great. I was also thinking of which classes would you need.
Pro-All Motor(Heads Up)
Pro-Adder(Heads Up)
Street-All Motor(Heads Up)
Street-Adder(Heads Up)
Bracket 1-13.99 and faster
Bracket 2-14.00 and slower

Payout's would be $1000 winner $500 runner up in Pro's and $500 winner $250 runner up for the rest. That's a total payout of $6,000 per event not much but still worth racing for. I figure $55 for a two day pass and $35 for just Sunday(Brackets Only).

Any help or suggestions would be great. Need ideas for tracks?

 

well it sounds like a good idea but i think you should split it up between sac and infineon. Also you would have to put into the equation, how much is it gonna cost to rent the track and officials for two day? I guesstamated that the net profit would be 32k. But you still have to rent the track and officials, fire crew, concessions.

 

Thats why we need have a major company to back us. I'm not sure Sac. would let us with them having the CMI's.

 

you should hit up some of the major companies in cali. There's comptech in rancho. Or even like, STR, matrix, summit, ie. Sonoma might have space available since there not runnin any sport compacts there this year

 

Yeah I need to iron out more of the details before I go to one of the big company's with this but I've got a start at it. I guess even if it was just a west coast series say 10 to 12 races with 4-6 up here would be great. I just want to make sure that this state keeps import races comin up here because I love racing and don't want to have to stop just because I can't afford to travel to L.A for every race. I'm really going to try and get something together for us in Nor-Cal and Cali in general.

 

get dvs to try and sponsor a drag racing "league", it would be a good time for them to get out and show off shoes and crap, just an idea but hell ya there needs to be some good racing in nor cal

 

Thanks I would like to have company's like that have a chance to help with partial sponsorship of the series to help sell there product and get us some good racing. I'm going to try my best to get something together for us no matter what it takes.

 

i am pretty sure Sac raceway would let you hold your event there. it is just a money making thing for them. The more event up here the better.

 

what ever it is ... count me in...

 

It'd be really good if you could get this together.

 

Thanks the more support that I get the easier to get someone to help make this a reality. I'll keep you all informed.

 

sweet man hope this goes threw, iam moving to nor cal in march so ill be at all the races!

 

I put some calls in about this so will see if they get back to me or just blow me off.

 

Well I just got off with Infineon Raceway and they don't have any weekends open in 2004 except in late December and Sac. won't do it because of there CMI's so I guess I'll have to try and get something together for the 2005 season.

 

How about Famoso raceway, it's in the center of Sac & La the # is 661.399.2210 and tell them that John@M&H-Hashim's sent you.

 

I'll IM you to get more details!!

 

sounds good, just as long as it's strictly RACING No bike shows, burn out contests , and etc

 

You could always just arrange for a bunch of local people to go to a test and tune

 

We're cooking up something but no this is going to be just racing. I'm there to race and not for that other crap so I'll only put together a race.

 

Isnt there a track in Redding, Ca. It kinda deep up north but its the same distance as going south to Bakersfield but going north instead.

yeah ive been there before.. very nice people.. only problem is they dont have a time board on either lanes, but this was like 2 1/2 years ago.. i dont know if they have upgrade yet.

 

Well right now I'm getting the proposal together and sending it to Bakersfield and to Sac. because now they say if the proposal looks good then maybe so if they both say yes then I'll do one at each. I'll look into Redding does anyone know the name of the track or the number so i can get ahold of them?

 

Ill support it, sounds like a great idea....let me know if i can help.
