Hi everyone!
I mentioned this in another thread and right now this is more of a serious feeler on participation. I contacted Sonoma raceway about renting the drag strip for a Saturday or Sunday and they told me we would have to rent the whole facility because the drag strip crosses the road course. I do not have information about pricing yet, but they asked how many cars might come to the event. It is likely that the first weekend available is December, which may or may not be bad depending on if we end up with a rainy winter.
The idea is have a TMC get together, maybe a BBQ, race some cars, get various speed timings and drag numbers for as many models and configurations as possible, and just have a good time. It would be in the Bay Area, but anyone who can make it can come.
As I said I don't know how much it would cost to rent the whole facility, but each person would need to contribute an even amount so that we could rent the track. This means the more people that come the cheaper it is. The poll here is to see what people are willing to spend as a max, not what they would like to spend. Obviously free would be awesome for everyone, but if the max anyone is willing to pay is $200 and we don't have enough people to make that happen then it can't happen. Unless Tesla wanted to chip in
So if you are interested in coming, please indicate what the maximum you would be willing to spend for a TMC track day with BBQ.
