Planning and scheduling an Auto-X???

[HectorM52]

No holiday weekends (memorial, 4th, labor day, etc...).

[GeoffP]

Definitely not - they're reserved for family stuff but thanks for chiming in!

[musclecarmatt]

september?...i know Run thru the Hills for ASCS is last weekend in september.....I know april usually isnt to bad weather wise far as hot....

[SparkyRnD]

I'd suggest sometime in fall. That give everyone time to plan, misses the other larger events, the weather will be nice, et cetera.

Just found this thread, but I would definitley be in depending on the dates. I'm also willing to help any way I can. I'm only a couple hours away. Subscribed !

[GeoffP]

Thanks - we are looking at the first weekend of September. How does that look for everyone?

[SparkyRnD]

not sure yet, as I know RTTH and possibly 1 or 2 other events are in September. I think of than the Good Guys Charlotte on 10/24, October is open too.

[GeoffP]

I am thinking RTTH is the 3rd weekend of Sept. I may plan to go to that too depending on how things turn out with my new engine. What other events are in September?

[RS_Customs]

ASCS shows the dates for RTTH as September 28-30, 2012

ALSO KNOWN AS Labor Day weekend! :(

[GeoffP]

Never mind - didn't look close enough at the calendar. No holiday weekends. If we do a date in Oct it won't be around the 20th - my anniversary!

[GeoffP]

What about the following weekend - Sept 7-9?

[SparkyRnD]

it'll be hard to get bigger players if you are within 1-2 weeks or so of another big event, so make sure to factor that in.

[HectorM52]

Hell, it will be hard to get the smaller players too. It's a cash flow thing. As well as a family thing.

I'm up for something in April. I could do March, but I'm sure that would put others out for lack of planning.

[musclecarmatt]

i think either in September or October would be good....already trying save funds for Goodguys nashville and RTOS...in May..lol

[GeoffP]

Anything before the end of May is out - my personal cash flow is in the way because of my engine build since I have to pony up insurance money up front. I'll look at the tail end of August to see what's available...

[damannhw]

What about the following weekend - Sept 7-9?

That's the same weekend as Shades of the Past in Pigeon Forge.

September is slammed :
7th-9th = Shades
14ht-15th = Rod Run
21st-23rd = Auto Fair
28th -30th = RTTH

[GeoffP]

Guys - please understand that I can't accomodate everyone nor can I work around all different kinds of car events. The only events that will be taken into consideration are Auto-X or road race events. Unless I am mistaken, Shades, the Rod Run, and the Auto Fair don't qualify for this since they don't have either. Good Guys will be taken into consideration as well as ASCS events or similar since they have Auto-X and road racing events. Also as mentioned above, holidays will be avoided to prevent getting in to family time. I appreciate everyone's input and also all offers to help. When the time comes, we'll definitely need help! Having said all of this, I agree with Adam that we need to avoid any ASCS event by at least 2-3 weeks to give everyone time to replenish their car fund coffers...This still leaves the end of August open. Either August 24-26 or August 31 - Sept 2.

In order to not turn this in to a debate on dates - does anyone have a full Auto-X/Road Race event schedule for the year available???

[GeoffP]

Ok unless someone has a good compelling argument against or unless we run into a local reason we can't use the airport, the date is August 31 through September 2.

Sorry, didn't intend to imply these dates weren't open, just speaking for myself as far as events I plan on attending and where others may be also ! I appreciate your efforts to coordinate & plan an event and I will (if possible) do all I can to attend AND help.
