Could we, should we have a meet?

[OldSkoolGP]

I would have preferred not to do it this weekend knowing some people would be previously engaged, but after looking over the drag schedule I was kind of out of options. Hopefully you can make it next year. And if this year goes well (fingers crossed), next year will get planned out a lot sooner than this.

Well its both ways. We had discussed the stuff for the family to do in the area, and the time frame was during summer break.

I guess I never thought of a 60V6 meet as something you bring your family to anyway. More than the family friendliness of Beech Bend though, I like its proximity to the dragstrip and all the other attractions in town.

I took Ben's comment as us with families aren't going to be able to go when enrolled in public schools. That's a ~30 hr drive or me anyways, so that will eat up Thurs through Mon.

If I had another reliable vehicle to make 2000 mile round trip, I could leave the Excusion with them and make the drive alone, but that's the only vehicle we have big enough to tote around 4 kids.

Yeah, not much point in the family aspect of the location when no families can make it unless they are home schooled. Pwnage.

Doubt you'll see me then...

No way I can have the kids starting school on Monday...

The Broward County School Board has approved the 2009-2010 school calendar. Classes for the new school year will start Aug. 24 and conclude June 9, 2010.

Figures, the one week I couldn't do in Aug.

if everything is goin good with the wifey ill show, shes due sept. 16th. so if everythings ok ill be there.

[OldSkoolGP]

Well, enough is enough and I'm pulling the trigger. After reexamining the drag racing schedule and other things, the only weekend that seems to work where we'll get the most runs is August 20-23. So that is when the meet will be. I hope it works out for everyone. If not, I hope you find a way to make it work because I think this is gonna be a lot of fun. I'm going to start planning other activities next week. I may ask for input about other things to do so keep checking back.

Last week in Aug

What happened to the last week July/1st week Aug?

[95SleeperAcheiva]

Sept 18-20 works for me too!

[asylummotorsports]

OK I certainly have no decision to be made here but I would attend if I could.

These dates work for me without looking at the Corvette Plant schedule or the dragstrip, after July.

Sept 18-20. And back tracking August 21-23.

However my race schedule is so busy that I may not be a fair barometer of who may be available.

I guess I'm SOL this year but hopefully the planning can start earlier next year.

[OldSkoolGP]

Ok, those weekends are now bad for a quarter of those interested, so a rethink is needed. What about other weekends in August? The third weekend still works for me. My wildcard is Pontiac Nationals. they don't particularly like FWDs, but the last two years I've raced there I've covered my expenses. However, if more people could make the first August weekend I'd schedule it then since the idea is to get the most people available.

you should put your kids in Treca. Its all online school and they work at their own pace, NTM you can put them on a wi-fi and they can do school while you travel the country. My 13 year old started with them 2 years ago in the 4th grade....she's a sophmore currently, and should be fininshing school before x-mas '09. My 11 year olds is only a grade behind her and plans on finishing the same time. My 8 year old complains that I haven't let her do treca yet.

Well, I have a baby, pre-k, 1st grade and 6th grade. The oldest had been sitting in classes above her grade level until this year (5th grade is the 1st year of gifted here, she has over 135 IQ), and we are #25 on the waiting list for the Charter School they tell us usually 30 get in

I bet she would love something like that, but she's the kind that will procrastinate if left totally on her own learning schedule and goes off on tangents even when she's using Google to research

SO, Sept. is a no-go for me as well.

[95SleeperAcheiva]

The august weekend has only 1 point meet on that saturday. Depending on how I'm doing in the series will depend on whether or not I'm willing to miss it.

The september weekend is a big money weekend of potential winnings, sept weekend very bad.

[asylummotorsports]

Both of those dates will eliminate me. August 14-16 is BerettaFest NorthEast and Labour Day weekend is a full race schedule here and very near the end of the Points.
