Track event Sept 6 at NPR in Belle Rose Louisiana

CTK · July 21st, 2003, 07:04 PM

For any of you guys in or close to southeastern Louisiana, a group of us have rented the road course at No Problem raceway http://www.noproblemraceway.com/npr/ for Saturday, September 6. The track is located about an hour from New Orleans. We currently have 10 or 11 vipers committed at this time. We plan on having a maximum of 21 cars (three run groups @ 7 cars per). Also for those of you with drag racing interest, the night before, there will be a street drag event at NPR's NHRA track. We are not involved with the drag event and I'm not sure what their rules regarding roll bars etc. are. If you are interested in participating in the drag event you should check with track representatives.

From the tone set on this board, it seems like some of you guys might actually be interested in hammering on your cars on a road course. If that's true, and you're close to this area and interested, you can contact me for more info.

I have been meaning to do one of the Porsche driving event they have there, but have not.

Is this going to be instructed or not?

Going to check the NHRA rules as well. I don't think they are as flexible as IHRA.

I am certainly interested.

John,

We are still considering instructors. It really depends on the number of drivers who will need instruction. We are still discussing it at this time. Bobby Archer has expressed interest in coming down with his whole rig, so we might try to enlist his services in that area. Any thoughts are appreciated. BTW, when I talked to you at Bowling Green, didn't you mention that you had been to this track before?

J DAWG · July 22nd, 2003, 02:05 PM

Clayton, been to the track, but was interested in doing an instructional type event. like the one the PCA puts on.

Are you the guy with the body shop in New Orleans?

I have the Sapphire RT.

Snatch is right. :bawling: [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

I have Roe oval cats, muffler delete, smooth tubes/filters, roller rockers, MGW shifter, magnecor wires, and some really cool seat belt sleevey things so CB's shoulder doesn't get chaffed when she goes topless.

ps - and a set of 18 inch drag radials for the strip.

How much is the event?

weeztones · July 22nd, 2003, 10:26 PM

I went to the vette vs. viper drag event not to long ago at that track. I took a peak at the road course and it looked like alot of fun. Please post pics after its over with.

**Chuck 98 RT10** · July 23rd, 2003, 09:51 AM

Bumping this because that's an open weekend for me and I'm thinking about making the trip.

Super Squirrel · July 23rd, 2003, 09:59 AM

This may be quite a turn out.

Chip · July 23rd, 2003, 12:01 PM

I am involved in this with Clayton. We are going to limit the number of cars to 21. That will give us 3 heats. Only 7 cars can be on the track at one time due to insurance.

I think the fee is going to be around $100 per driver. We are working up all the cost of the event and basically we are going to split it up between us.

Clayton does AWESOME work on vipers. He has one in the shop now that tried to eat a tree and he has done a great job making it better then new.

Makaha, I was not at that event. I just got my Viper a month ago. If the weather behaves today, we are going to Gulfport to run the strip...want to come?
