Run N Gun Survey and Questions: Please Take a Minute

I think that Gateway is great. It is a long drive for me but it's worth it. Every one I know like the Roadcourse and Auto Cross. More time on the Auto Cross would be great! I don't care about drag racing.

Clois,
I became hooked as a first time participant last October, and have kept my calendar open for this year! I'd rank event importance to me as:
#1) road course, both timed and t&t
#2) autocross
#3) drags or some other straight line challenge such as 0-whatever-0 as has been mentioned. If we stayed with traditional drags I don't think you'd get much objection to going with a 1/8 mile format given the obvious safety concerns.

Being a Hoosier, needless to say staying in the Midwest gets my vote---ideally at Gateway. Putnam Park, Bluegrass, Mid-Ohio and Autobahn Country Club could be possibilities if a move from Gateway were to occur. Maybe the roadcourse and strip at O'Reilly Raceway Park (it will lways be Indianapolis Raceway Park to me!) also. Personally, as a competitor, I couldn't have been more pleased with Gateway; the track was interesting and well prepared and the staff was totally accomodating. One thing that is a huge plus for me is the garages. It is SOOO nice not having to load up/cover up/secure the cars at night. I don't think any of the other venues mentioned can offer that option.

Thanks for asking for our opinions and all that you and Dean do to make this event happen! If you guys ever need help with some part of the organization or planning all you need to do is post here and I'm sure you'll have plenty of volunteers!

Clois,
You and Dean do an outstanding job of getting this event to where it is.
I personally would like a different track just for a change. However, because Dan and Tim do give a lot of lead way and work with you guys, I feel
it wouldn't be a good idea to try another track.
There were a bunch of first timers last year and I'm sure many of them will return.
I like the roadcoarse and the autocross. The drags I can take or leave. All are fun.
If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. I
wasn't much of a help last year. That first day I felt like crap.

Anyways, I do hope more of the folks on this forum try to make it. They
won't really know how cool it is unless they go and get their feet wet. As
hard as we try to describe the event, it just doesn't do it justice. You will make life long friends and learn all kinds of good stuff. Things like driving tips, suspension setup, and lots more. Plenty of pros around that are glad to help.
