67-72chevytruck RACE TRUCK MEET UP

[Super73]

One of our board members NXtruck presented a great idea, a 67-72chevytrucks Race Truck meet up. The logistics of this though would be rather dificult. We have members all over this country and let's face it, we all tinker with our toys and our trucks don't always run. Soo, how can we make this work. Here are some ideas:

1) Post here if you have interest
2) Give us your location
3) Let's think of a central location based on interested members and have someone there give us input on tracks in the area.

I don't think that this should be a shoot out or anything like that, just a friendly GTG with our trucks and line up with the friends we have made here. Who cares if the guy next to you is faster or slower. Have a BBQ going and some beers afterwards.

I think trying to set it up for next spring/summer would be the best. It would give us all plenty of time to plan and make sure things are together.


So, who has interest?

[70shortwide]

im definitely interested. i live around Tulsa, OK so im pretty central to the u.s.. I think this would be awesome!!!

[bcdeutsch731]

I would be intrerested depending on where it's held. I'm in Chicago, IL.

[Marv D]

It would be a fun gig for sure... but the haul will probably count me out. I have a hard time hauling 100 to speedworld,, in fact this year I've apparently had a hard time even hauling 32 miles to Firebird!!

[Super73]

Marv,

I am planing on bringing a co-pilot and having the tow some too. Just an idea.

[nxtruck]

Jackson, Mo. here. I'm definitely interested, depending on the location. I know some will have a lot farther drive than others, and I'm not sure the best way to work around this fact. Anyone have any location suggestions?

[thirdstreettito]

Im in Raleigh, NC. I'd love to bring both of our suburbans to race, even though they would be like 16 second passes, it's just great to hang out with like-minded people.

[dbmx66]

sounds like a great idea to me

[VALDEZ]

well it looks like im about as far from all of you as possible haha but im in boise idaho, firebird raceway is just down the road great place to make a few passes

[vin63]

That would be a cool GTG. I have to haul out long distances anyway...I'm at Speedworld in AZ a lot (next closest track to Famoso for me), ironically, I can't run my car at any of my nearby tracks.

[kpeztruck]

I am interested, live in the Atlanta area.

[fryco]

Interested, but I'm 30min North of Green Bay WI.

Is there going to be a long haul award?

[bigguy69]

that would be fun. west palm FL closet track is pbir. (old moroso speed way)

[68 C-10 KID]

This is great. Count me in.

Shaun,

There always can be 3 different locations and times. Split up the map. IDk just a thought.

[shawnt]

If everyonw was to meet in 1 location it would probably have to be in the central us. Lol
Im interested but got word that we may be in afghanyland next year?! Im in northeast Texas

A one and for all would be great, but I think splitting it up by geography is going to make the best sense.

So for a southwestern event...... Looks like here is two votes for Speedworld. I would suggest sometime between November and April. (aka... < 100°) I'll start nosing around the calander. Or,, I believe Truckin Magazine still holds the Truckin Nationals at Firebird (Az,, sorry Valdez) That would open up the show circuit AND the 1/4 mile track to a get together. Just a thought,, Don't they hold those all over the US?

I'm planning on being at Speedworld for a November 5th event, and I'm sure my buddy will be there with his '64 C-10 as the tow vehicle.

This was this past April...for some reason, I can't get the embed function to work, so here's the link to my earlier thread:

I know organizing something like this wont be easy, nor will every one be able to make it, and not everyone will be happy about the location/not being able to make it.

One event is bad as it locates it more central US which means us east coast / west coast guys need to drive a longer distance.

Three events means that if we want to meet everyone and or at least a higher percentage, we would have to drive to two or all three events. That puts way more driving in for those individuals.


3R!c84, where exactly are you in FL? Trying to figure that out, but I keep getting bagel shops

DBMX, what City are you in?

I think DBMX and 68C10 are the two that are the furthest north (so far) and they are both on oposite coasts. I was originally thinking somewhere near Wichita KS, but googling it, 68c10 would be going 1,765 miles from Portland, Miami is only 1,582, and New Jersey is only 1,375. So a little more west might be more "fair" so to speak.

Although, is it ok to ask one person to drive a little more so others can drive less?

This is what really makes it tricky, making it fair and fun to all.

[Super73]

Grand Island might be a more central point??

[dbmx66]

im in reading pa. closest track to me is maple grove.

[dougminton]

I'm interested. Kansas seems pretty central.

[70shortwide]

for us okie boys wichita would be awesome.

[69trk]

I want to play!! Count me in...

[1Bad62Pro/Street]

Love the idea!
Broke as a joke though!
My truck would run in the 16's 1/8 Mile!
I'm just a wanna be racer.
If you guys do this please take videos and post them on here!
Awesome idea!
Hollar if anyone is down my neck of the woods!
