**Darlington track rental news**
 

I heard back from Dalrington and its actually more reasonable than I thought It would be. Here is the reply I got.

"Sunday would be your cheapest weekend day. As I stated in the last email, rentals are for testing only. To do what you are asking on a Sunday, from noon until 6 pm (6 hrs), we could do $50 car and driver and $10 spectators. I would need a guarantee of at least 50 cars to make it happen. I can have the gate open at 11 am and you can be racing at noon.
Does that sound fair?"

So if we can get enough interest going Ill set something up for a date that the majority of us can agree on, but if not Ill just drop the whole idea. Start a list of whos interested. Copy & paste and add your name. Dont add your name if you are a "maybe" or arent sure you will make it.

That's really not all that bad. Don't add my name (yet), but I may actually be interested in this.

I definitely want to do this, but if the date is after May I won't be here.

50 a car with minimum of 50 cars. They don't do that well on scheduled T&T.

for sure interested, just need the date.

just depends on when

Ill see what dates he has available.

Possible TDL 1/4 mile and T&T day, perhaps?

You have never been on a Wednesday I take it.

No. Don't own my own business. I actually have to be at work by a certain time. Yes I am jealous.

x2

If you get a date, I'll see if I can round a few cars up.

:bigthumb:

Im not exactly sure why I put this in the budget grudge racers section though.

I might be interested, depends on date and if my glue keeps the truck together. I'd really like some 1/4 mile times.

I'll do it. I have a couple of weekends that I'll be in Mexico other than that no problem.

Im waiting to hear back from him to give me a list of available dates.

I'm sure some of the FastGM upstate guy might be interested in coming. When u figure out a date one of us can start a thread over there.

Curious as to just how strict they are on wednesdays...Kenny went yesterday and didn't check him at all..I think they asked him if he had a loop...I might go up next week,but I'd hate to ride up for nothing

They usually have a big crowd on wednesday... i used to go every week when i went to francis marion

lmao at the sig

You on the boat or what?

more like a yacht boi

Yea the camp getting quite large

Who are yall gonna race when its over with? Yall gonna have everyone in the same group! haha

I know 4 of our cars have raced each other this month

$50 per car, $10 per spectator, and have to have atleast 50 cars?:roll: Yall should have all gotten together and gone to a saturday Test and Tune before the bracket series started back up. Woulda been half the price ($25 car and driver) and no waiting in the lanes.

hey man that thing in your pic fast?

Nah, I was thinking about getting a new screen name though, so maybe I'll say it's faster when I do that.

says alot... just curious

As stated a year ago ( If you know what you are doing I don't care how fast you are) I went for the GTO rental There were car's running in the 8's with no cage These people are great to work with, Mitch( When Mike and I went they stated OH that's a Lightning Do you have a drive shaft loop Answer YES OK go and run LOL)

Yea i was at the gto track rental. We payed 45 dollars a car and got a free lunch while we were there. It was good times and the only tech i got was the fact that i had to wear a helmet.

i go frequently and i dont have my own business...
might be willing to get in on this as well. keep us posted

I haven't heard anything back from them reguarding dates available and I really don't have the time nor desire to corrdinate an event like this. I got the ball rolling and if anybody with more time and patience than me would like to take over from here by all means please do.

Just go on wednesday nights...they don't check anything...cheaper than a rental,and run all you want.I went last wednesday and aqll they asked for was a helmet.

I would like to go but umm 50 a car is crazy 25-30 is reasonable .... i know someone who is supose to be buddy buddy with the owner Ill see if he can lower the price a lil


BTW 2 wed ago someone asked abt racing a black lightning with my tbss was it anyone on here ? I was on 17 DR's on the back

holy thread revival! That was a year ago....

didnt pay any attention to dates figured it was recent

you wanna race a grey one?? bring that bucket out!!

have to get the v6 car back from nc for your lightning sir .... went from a simple head cam swap to a freshin up everyshit :roll:

Well Todd claims top GN at the moment a darlington...you gonna do something about that?

of course 11 sec doesnt do it for me he isnt very in consistant ive never seen him grudge race anyone you ?.... thought u read other post ? when i get my car back we are running for 1k or better

he has a stoker now im stock cubic inches but i dont care ... i think he has wider tires also doesnt matter

he wouldnt race me when i was stock long block an he had a bigger turbo an aluminum heads lol
