Historics at Pacific Raceways

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Maybe the Server will stay up this time

It's that time again...sign-ups for the SOVREN Historics vintage sports car races!

If you want to park in the car corral with the Cobra Club, send me money and I'll get tickets for everyone. I'm pretty sure all the information you need is below on the fact sheet...if not, just ask. As always, I need to send the money to SOVREN no later than June 10th.

Here's the Car Corral prices:
CAR CORRAL PASSES (CAR AND DRIVER ONLY)
FRIDAY ONLY: $25.00
SATURDAY ONLY: $25.00
SUNDAY ONLY: $25.00
THREE DAY PASS: $40.00


My preference is to attend Sat. July 1st. Did I mention you get to make a couple of parade laps around Pacific Raceways?

Some of the cars are valued at over $1 million and many have impressive racing histories. Competitors come from all over the West Coast and Canada.

Now the good stuff. Steve T and I attended the meeting with SOVREN in place of Rich this year. These are the changes for this year.

Car Corral will be limited to 20 cars per Club.
Deadline for entering June 10th, after the 10 you will still beable to enter but you will have to park in the south lot of the Corral and NO PARADE LAP WILL BE ALLOWED.

Speed They want to keep the slower cars of each club at the rear so they don't slow the ones that want to here the rumble. This does not give us an open ticket to go WOT but it does give up the chance to have some fun.

Cars will be grouped in same type ie Cobras,Vettes and Mustangs.

They want to know how many cars by the 10th so that means I need to have the money to them by the 10th so lets use the 5th for a cut off. No need to buy your passengers ticket at this time as you can get them at the car gate.

I will post at a later date as to where we will meet up and at what time.

NWCC Entry Deadline?
 

Fred,

What your deadline? When are you planning to mail in our club's entries? This year I might even be able to make it since it's not screwing up the 4th of July, the 4th is already screwed up by being on a Tuesday! :)

Kevin

They want the money by the 10th of June so I am using the 5th of June for the cut off. Get off your back side and come out and play, you need new rear tires anyway.

Fred

The close out date is approaching do we have any other takers??????????????
No SIGN UP no parade laps or car corral parking.

Fred , do you still have anymore of those NWCC windsheild decals ?

Mike

I am all out of the decals.

Fred

Money has been sent to the SOVREN. Once I get the tickets I will mail out the ones for the 3 day pass, all others will be handed out at the track unless you want them sent to you.
