2010 Nat'l Z Convention !!

StackTrack

Asphalt Ventures is proud to announce that we will be helping the 2010 National Z Convention run its track day on Sunday, August 1st at Nashville Super Speedway (road course.)

We're still working out the details on event format... but you can go ahead and register for the event from the convention website: Z Car Club Association - 40th Anniversary of the Z.** July 28 - August 1, 2010 in Nashville, TN

At some point (hopefully sooner rather than later) we'll be syncing the ZCon track day registrations onto MotorsportReg.com. Format will be a standard HPDE format... at least two instructed run groups based on experience level with one group for instructors and solo qualified drivers. This will be a high-speed event and safety inspections will be required. In-car instruction and classroom instruction will be provided w/entry.

In addition, one of the things I'm trying to get approval for is a run group for roadsters and convertibles. It would certainly help if I had an idea of how many might be interested in that run group. The plan (if we get approval) is to run that group the way Virginia Int'l Raceway runs its convertible group:

• Paced lapping (faster than parade laps, but not as fast as normal HPDE)
• Helmets will be required
• "Leapfrog" system to rotate cars through the line and allow all cars in that group to rotate through the line from back to front

The way I'm envisioning it is there would be two track sessions for this group, one in the a.m. just before lunch, another at the end of the day. Drivers in this group would be welcome in the regular DE classroom sessions, and will be able to take hot-lapping rides with instructors during the regular sessions. There would be a group-specific briefing sessions just before each of the roadster sessions to go over the rules and procedures for the group.

Again... this isn't set in stone yet, we're still working on approval from the ZCon committee and the track itself, but I would like some ammunition (interest) to take to them.

The normal HPDE cost is $150 w/ZCon registration ... Not sure yet what the cost for the Roadster group would be, but it would be significantly less than that.

So please post here, or shoot me an email to stacy@asphaltventures.com letting me know how interested you would be in the roadster group (and the regular track day as well.)

Thanks!!
