We're thinking more towards the 1st week of June. More people out of school, better weather..

How would this conflict with the SHO Convention? Deconflict isn't a word so I can only assume you mean to "not conflict". Is the SHO Convention holding something in Fort Wayne around the same time? How many SHO's will be attending approximately? We actually were thinking about trying to get something going with the SHO guys also, but I haven't talked to Chuck about it. We were waiting to see how much interest we had in the CEG first off.

Just an update:

As of right now, were looking at the first weekend of June. This gives people enough time to finish up with school and hopefully the weather will be a bit warmer compared to previous years.

Show N Shine
Mark spoke with Jim Baileys Harley Davidson/Buell where we are thinking about having the Show N Shine. Jim seemed cool about the whole idea and didnt have a problem with us using the parking lot. Its a perfect location for a Show N shine since its literally right off the highway, so trying to find the place wont be a problem at all. Not to mention, the parking lot is huge and its a cool looking place to boot.

Dyno Day
Also, Mark called up Dynotech which is where we would have our dyno day. Its about 2 miles down the road from Jim Baileys. Cost will be at the maximum $50 per person for 2 pulls which includes air/fuel readings. If we can get a large enough amount of people, we may just rent the place out for 8 hours instead so the price will go down.

Hotel Arrangements / Banquet / Door Prizes
After checking around for hotels, Comfort Inn Suites was the best price and was around $65-70 a night which is 3 miles from Jim Baileys. Also, they have 2 banquet halls in the hotel. One seats 50 people, and if needed they have another that seats 125 which can be opened up into the other banquet hall. So this seems to be the ideal place for the banquet and door prices/trophies. And I think we'll have some pretty good door prizes this year if everything goes as planned. Mark, my brother Scott, and I were already tossing around some ideas for door prizes. And i guarantee we'll have a nicely catered meal and we WONT run out of food!

Drag Racing
Muncie Dragway is only located about an hour from Fort Wayne, and is a pretty decent track from what i hear from Mark. He ran a 14.4 there with his 3.0L SVT, so I think that speaks some volume about the track. I think the cost is $15 to race and $5 to watch.

Autocross
Id still like to get an autocross event planned, but Im not sure who to contact or how to get one set up. Some of you autocross guru's probably have a better idea than i do, so anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

As mentioned before, the cost were shooting for is only $20 to attend. That includes the banquet and a catered meal. Dyno, drag, autocross, etc are all optional!

Anyways, if you remember, towards the beginning of this thread I mentioned that the SHO convention is going on in Indiana, and typically they are in June/July. I have no idea about numbers, just like you have no idea what the turn is going to be next year. Hit up Don Mallision (sp?) the SHOClub president and most likely the event organizer.

Jim,

For the auto-x you should contact your local SCCA chapter. They put on the last ones at SZ01 and 02. IIRC they had a regualr auto-x open to all and then we had specific contour only classes as well. Might double check with Worldtour about that for sure.
