Post BOP Race in Orlando

I have talked with the track about the scheduling conflict with the BOP. I told them, that rather than cancel it, lets reschedule it. I am thinking about either late January or sometime in February. I offered to rent the track and have my own BOP. They weren't too keen on that, but did say that a club could organize and promote it. What do you guys think? Do you want to do it? If so, when?

Cal,

I brought this subject up at the local club meet this past Saturday. Most guys had no idea it was cancelled and were disappointed. A rescheduling sounds like a good idea. Do you know how much it would cost to rent the track for a day? Considering the showing of people over the last 2 years I think the event is a success. If I remember correctly it cost $35 for us to run and $10 to spectate last year. I figure there was atleast 50-60 cars running. That's $1750-$2100 right there. Add in another 100 spectators that's $1000.
I think you get the picture.

Chuck

Last years event was awesome. Let's rent the track, or something.

I second the idea of the January air. We need a good BOP event, in the cool weather.

Ok, I'll shoot for an event the end of January. If this does go off, the cost will be the same as last year (or REAL close). This won't be a track rental, but an actual BOP event that is open to the public. Time for me to call Carl @OSW.

Great idea, Cal. I'd love a BOP in January. It would also be nice to have the event organized right here in Central Fla. Count me in.

I'll drive up for the event, and most likely, can get one or so guys from the area to drive up also. If the word gets around, with ample time, I am sure that others will join.

Cal, I've put the word forth through email and I'll let you know how much interest there is from the CF members. January should work well for a number of reasons.
