I know I am new and have never participated in a meet or anything of the sort. I will start attending them now that I feel I have become a part of this community. I wanted to throw out a possible idea for an Ohio meet. (If you Mods decide this is not the section of the forum it belongs then feel free to move it) There is a local 2 mile road course in North East Ohio near where I live called Nelson Ledges. They offer "Fun Days" for amateurs or anyone else who wants some track time. It is extremely cheap at $120 for the entire day and the only thing you need is a DOT approved helmet. Spectators can park right with the cars that will be on track so we can all be together, and it states that spectators are $5 but the one time I went they just let me and my friend in for free. I believe this would be a great opportunity for a meet and I hope everyone else likes the idea. I know I will probably go to every "Fun Day" this summer that I can afford. In the area is also a park called Nelson Ledges quarry where we could have a non-race segment of the meet. Thank you for the consideration and tell me your thoughts.

10342 State Route 305
Garrettsville, OH. 44231

 

[Pete03GLS]

hmm.... 8:30 hours according to map quest... probably more including traffic and stops... its alot less than the hyunda manu. plant meet. depending on how much response this gets, ill put it in my maybe box

 

[evan938]

as cool as it sounds, most of us are cheap bastards. 120$ for track time + a helmet (100$?), most peopel will not go

im sure there will be good old poor person meets this summer, at a park, with some bbq and a big parking lot

 

[OH_Beta_Accent]

Sounds like a real good idea to me. I'd try calling the place though and seeing if you get enough people if they'd do a group pricing option or something like that.

 

[CornbreadXD]

WTF! I never knew you lived near nelson ledges. That is like 50 minutes from cleveland i know its past streetsboro

 

[projectx515]

durning the summer national trailsrace way has friday night street fights ...... 10 dollars to get in no need to have a helmet unless your running faster then 14 secs and its for the entire evening ....... just throwing it out there

 

[Pete03GLS]

hm... maybe by the time this meet happens.. or any meet for that fact, that has a race track for us to use... ill have way more performance mods in my car... and possibly do the trans swap! !!!!!

What about S3? thats in Ohio. its usually pretty big, like 40 cars.

no date set yet

 

[CornbreadXD]

you really can't get everybody on the course at s3 and its expensive, i've been there twice with newtiburon members.

 

[soullesselantra]

im down, date pending

 

[cbogg]

I might be down depending on when/if the MD meet is. Cuz this would definitely be an easier trip even though it's longer.

 

[Deviant]

Even if not everyone is down for the track time, the quarry has everything. Main thing being a huge quarry lake for swimming, cheap camping, and picnic areas.
