I'd be willing to even host the barbeque (I'll get all of the meats and each member can bring a covered dish of some sort) at the track if this can still happen - just at a different - less expensive track. If Norwalk won't have any rentals next season, why stay on with them as the "standard" track each season. I think that they have a big head and charge too much - even though it is a NICE track.
I agree with ya Jim!

Maybe next year we can look at those tracks and others. If I made the entry fee $62.50 (half of $125), then we would need 50 Mach 1/drivers along with the sponsors I had, to cover an 8 hr track rental with the works to make it worth while. Norwalks prices are crazy now, for a track rental.

I guess I tried to make it to big of an event. I just wanted everyone to have fun, winner/runner-up win some money/prizes/trophies and then enjoy the evening cookout/bon fire for all.
