It's official. We've committed and the planning has started...
The Big 2006 East Coast Meet 'N Greet
The Big 2006 East Coast Meet 'n Greet will take place
Saturday, May 20th and Sunday, May 21st for those that can come out either for one or both days. We will have our own pit area and tent at Englishtown Raceway in Englishtown, NJ and we will be holding this years big event during Englishtown's big Dodge weekend which will feature a handful of other events including their $10,000 HEMI Super Stock Challenge. We'll get to see some awesome MOPAR racing in addition to doing some ourselves. As always, we'll have our own staging lanes for those that want to try their hand at the quarter mile and when we're not racing, we'll have the LX Forums pit area so we all will have a point to congregate and relax and have a good time. Just remember, in drag racing, bumping is not the name of the game.
The schedule of events:
Friday Night:
We know that a lot of you guys will start showing up, as will we. We'll get something small planned.
Saturday:
to be determined
Sunday:
to be determined
Besides the HEMI shoot-out, there will also be a lot of other things going on from Bracket racing that some of you may wish to participate in to a swap meet.
Requirements For Racers:
In order to race, cars must have
mufflers and
seat belts (draining the coolant is not required) and drivers must wear
helmets (full-face Snell-approved for cars under 13.5s in the 1/4 mile). They do rent helmets at the track for three or four dollars so you don't need to go out and buy one if you don't already have one (Hey Dano, got yours?) Also, racers must wear
long pants, a
shirt with sleeves (t-shirt) and shoes are a must (no flip flops or sandals). You must be
at least 17 years old to race but if you are 17, you must have a parent present to sign the waiver.
Admission Prices at Etown:
To be announced at a later date
Accomodations:
To be announced at a later date
Rain Date:
We're not going to worry about this just yet.
So, that's what we have so far. A date, so mark your calendar! You won't want to miss this years event. As the planning comes along, we'll continually update this thread. We'll have a lot of manufacturer presence and support at this years M&G, lots of giveaways and prizes and contests. We're also working to get as many LX Show cars out there, too. This will be a great weekend for the whole family.
See you there!
