Default Jgtcusa 12-18/12-19

Fontana, California Speedway, Saturday December 18 and Sunday December 19, 2004.

http://jgtcusa.net/gtlive_event.html

The GT 300 cars feature the Endless Advan Z and the CWest Z.





The GT 500 cars feature the SSR Hasemi Z, the Calsonic Z and the
Motul Z.







You can autocross your Z there too:

"Driving someone else’s ride is one thing, but wouldn’t you like to see how you and your car stack up against the rest? We thought so. That is why you can bring your ride and do laps on our autocross course. There’ll be a nominal charge per lap and you can do as many laps as you like until we sell out. The Autocross will have a driver’s lounge for you to relax in and bum advice off professionals. You also receive your own staging area. Registration for the autocross will start in August."

http://jgtcusa.net/gtlive_attraction.html

I think this is going to be the car event of the year. Tickets are $35 per day or $50 for two days. This will make for a great 3FiveZeroZ event. Who's in?

It should be an incredible event. I've been looking forward to it since I first heard about it a couple of months ago. The Time Attack should be pretty cool to watch as well.

Let's not forget the Grand-Am Cup race on October 30 at California Speedway. There should be 4 or 5 350Z's racing, including 2 or 3 of the Performance Nissan cars.

Seems like everyone has heard about this before me!

I just sent an email to Stephen Dietrich with JGTCUSA to see if we can arrange some kind of discount or other opportunites if we purchase as a group. California Speedway usually has group ticketing for 20+ persons and I'll bet we will round up that many interested people.

I'll let you know how things go.

Hey, I emailed Steve a couple months ago about the car club package, which includes the weekend pass and a special parking lot where everyone can park together and hang out, and participation in the VIP fan lap. They were supposed to have started going on sale in June but he was still putting it together as of last Friday. When I get more info about requirements/deadlines/prices, I'll let everybody know about it.

I don't think Stephen will mind if I post the following. The price sounds great considering it includes VIP parking, tshirt and both days, along with the tent fan lap.

____________________________


I know all of you have been waiting for this car club information. The
following text will also be posted on the web site shortly. I hope to
hear from all of you soon.

Thanks,

-Stephen Dietrich
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
Car Club Participant Need to Know:

This is your chance to represent your own car club at GT Live! Get your
crew together bring the music and the barbecue and tail-gate Cali
style!

What You Get:

- Special VIP parking that gets the best parking spots, right by the
Speedway entrance.

- One 20x20 covered tent for each registered car club. It can be used
to hang out, barbecue, dance or anything else you can think of.

- Participation in the Fan Lap around California Speedway.
Pre-registered car club members will get to do a lap around the
Auto Competition Course, the same configuration used by the JGTC
race. Speeds are limited so this is more an hour-long party on wheels.

What you need to do :

For $65 you get to see GT Live for the whole weekend, get VIP parking
with an exclusive tent and you get to participate in the Fan Lap. Heck,
we’ll even throw in a free t-shirt!

-You must register as a club and need at least 20 cars in your group
at the time of
registration. Additional members may be added once the initial 20 have
registered at any time until the deadline.

- All clubs must be registered and paid in full by 10-31-04.


Process:

All car clubs must contact Stephen Dietrich at
stephen.dietrich@jgtcusa.net to register.
Please have one member as your main contact. Space is assigned on a
first come first serve basis. If you want prime space, sign up early.
Payment for the 20-member minimum must be made before space can be
assigned. Colored parking passes with the car club name and number,
the fan lap passes as well as the weekend passes, will be sent via USPS
after 10-31-04 to the primary contacts address. Upon arrival at
California Speedway, you will then be directed into you corresponding
VIP parking lot.

What We Need:

- Club name and URL if available
- Club address
- Main club contact, phone number and e-mail
- All names and cars of participating members
- Payment by 10-31-04

______________________

We need to get organized on this because timely response does affect our placement for the fan lap and parking availability. I am willing to bet the sooner we get this organized, the better position we can get at the Speedway.

One very important point, we need a main club contact. Anyone will do but it will have to be someone willing to take up the responsibility of collecting money, sending the money, collecting the tickets and distributing the tickets.

I'm thinking people like Scott Webb because he would know the best spots for us at the Speedway, AudioPat or Jeffa because they've probably handled this kind of thing before, CallMeAFlirt, Bullish or Mr. Twisted, since they obviously have a talent for this kind of thing as well. Acutally, come to think of it, Bullish will probably be elsewhere. I will be the contact if absolutely no one wants to volunteer but honesty, I'd rather see someone else do it for us. I just tossed out some names, but really, anyone can do this.

Please come to some sort of a consensus as to: 1) whether you plan to attend, 2) who you wish to designate as contact and 3) if you wish to volunteer for the contact position.

[Edit: As another option, I could contact Steve Burnhans CEO of FreshAlloy.com. I would bet that he could handle the contact efforts if needed for us. But, let's see if someone cares to volunteer first because one of our own is probably best.

Also, If ZuprCar wishes to take to contact spot, that would be great too!]

all i have to say is the california speedway track is a blast to drive.
I just did a track event there today...

I got to 125 on the front straight b4 I had to go into a chicane.


JGTC cars will have some fun... There was a McLaren GT-R there today... 175 on the front straight... that car was freaking fast.
