MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - 2004 West Coast British V8 meet

Hey folks!

I am begning work on setting up a special event at Portland international. I need to find out how many people would be interested in having an open track day at the facility. This would be ROAD COURSE and Drag strip. I am thinking a 1/2 day of each hopefully with lots of time on each for everyone.

Renting the facility for the day is not cheap though, so I need to get an idea of the turnout to see if the per person pricing will be feasable for everyone.

I am working on this for spring/early summer 2004, as the track is booked for 2003.

Due to the high cost of reserving the facility for a day, this would also be coordinated with the local Mustang groups as well as all the local British V8 folks. So should be lots of fun with lots of fast cars. I am also considering opening it up to other non-British V8 cars, but my personal love of mustangs puts this group on top of the list of additions.

LET ME KNOW!!! I need to get rolling on reserving a spot, but I will not do that unless I see an adiquate turn-out.

I am not asking you to book it, and give me a garrantee, but just a good faith idea of how many people would want track time, so I can look at feasability. If I don't hear allot of interest I will likely back out of the hunt and let the meets stay back east for now.

Larry,

I would be interested in just a car show. I don't care about seeing how fast my MGAV8 will go.I know it's fast enough for me. It would be nice to have a show north of Seattle to get away from all the traffic. Marysville WA. has a nice park that I've been to car shows at before.

Larry, That is a great idea. Count me in. The location would be good for the Ca crowd. You know mine is a V6. I am anxious to compare the overall performance to V8's. Maybe you could call the gathering "Super Bee's" or something of the sort?

Count me in. I should have the V-8 {302} done by then. If not I will still have the V-6 I completed last summer. I will have to meet you somewhere on I-5 and show you the finished project. It looks a lot better with the stock hood.

The plan is to do this as part of a West Coast British V8 meet. HOPEFULLY, but time will tell.

I'd like to go, I don't know how the car will feel about that, should be done by then though. And as to Bill's coment, after school is out goes well for us in school too!
