I started a thread here and there is enough interest to hold the event so I have blocked out July 8 beginning at 11:00 am as follows:
The facility is Grand Prix New York and their website is http://www.gpny.com/
We will have a variety of activities and everyone, plus their guests, may participate in any combination or all:
1. Karting on indoor track with speeds up to 45 mph in Sodi 6.5 hp gas karts. Helmets/firesuits provided by GPNY
2. Bowling - including bumpers for any kids (sorry guys, if you are "of age" you ain't getting bumpers.......)
3. Racing simulators using iRacing software - could be open lapping, could be head to head - program can be suited to our group if there is enough interest
As of right now, they are blocking off the track times for us and a preliminary package involves the following:
a) Two races (including day membership fee) plus lunch for $80
b) Bowling would be $10-12 per person including shoe rental
c) Sim not part of package but generally works out to $1 per minute per person depending upon whether the group is interested in adding in this as well
I will try to get an allocation from the NSXCA from our regional funds to assist and my idea is to use any of those monies to add a third race that would take the top drivers and pit them against each other in a final race.
Please add your name to the list so I can get a better idea of headcount and block off enough space at GPNY, including asking for our own parking area so that the NSXs may be on display.
