DSM Meet - Pueblo race track - July 21st (Saturday)

[Ludachris]

I figured that this would be a great way to get some of the DSMers out to a track event, even if it's just to watch and meet other DSMers!

This will be in conjunction with the NASA event that's going on. I know there will be at least 2 DSMs participating, that is, if Fred will be there with me So come out and show some support for your fellow DSMers at the track. I'll see about providing drinks and maybe we can give away a raffle prize.

Hope to see you guys there!

Saturday, July 21st
11am-4pm

I'll definately be there Chris. I'm hoping you get all your Gremlins exorcised. I want to see you give those HPDE 3 people what a well-prepped DSM will do.

I still remember your "fireworks" brakes from last year at Pueblo at night.

Man, if any of you DSM'ers have any kind of inkling to drive on a real race track, come on down. I drove my stock N/A and had a blast. If you don't want to drive, then come for a look... unless you're afraid you might get bit...by the racing bug.

Sounds like fun, I'll try to come down to spectate.

Depends on whats going on that weekend, but I'll try to make it down to spectate and perhaps win whatever you raffle . Plus i'd like to see your car!

[Ludachris]

Anyone else planning to participate at this event? Anyone need any help getting their car ready for it?

[GSTinCO]

You should post this on RMDSM aswell, most guys over there seem to be drag racers but I'm sure you could get some of them out to enjoy a good race with turns.

[Project2G]

I will be in Littleton for a wedding so I might get a ride to come down. I won't have my dsm but it will be a good chance to meet some of you since I'm moving there in March 2008

yeah i am new to this but i think it would be fun but where is this place at, and how do u sign up to race yur car? so if any of u could give me directions i would be there.

[Ludachris]

I put two links in the original post that should help. If you need more info you can always visit http://www.nasarockymountain.com. Keep in mind guys if you don't have a provisional racing license you'll just be running in HPDE, which means it isn't an actual race. You just get open track time with other cars on the track with strict passing rules to keep things safe for you and other drivers.

Have you had any type of racing instruction in the past? If not, you'll either have to attend a bunch of NASA HPDE track events or go to an SCCA-approved racing school. But that's only if you want to do wheel-to-wheel racing. If you want to do Time Trials or just open track events you don't need a racing license.

We will be bringing the camcorder this year. Hopefully we can get the logger, radiator, and, UICP and be able to run this time out.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN. I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE COMPETITION AND NICE DSM'S THAT ARE HERE IN CO.

[Ludachris]

Cool, sounds like we should have some DSMers coming out to the track - finally! Again, even if you don't participate in the track event, come on out and let's make this a cool DSM meet.

I called and did not get an answer. Oh well, I was going to go. j/k My excuse- I have a nice power steering leak; I think at the pinion valve?

Lucky for you there's still more than 3 weeks to get that fixed!

[Ludachris]

If anyone would like to help out with the organization of this meet I could use some help. I'll be on track half the time so if anyone is planning on going and not driving maybe you could help me out with some stuff?

I'll be bringing some drinks and would like to do a raffle. Any other ideas?

[Raptoreborn]

What Kind of drinks? I've never been to Pueblo race track is it pretty big? Also What do you need supplied Food, drinks, etc. As far as prizes what kind?

[wolf20043]

My thought is, with enough to meet up, is this. I am thinking since I live close, I can bring a grill and charcoal, and probably pick up a sirloin butt from work and grill off some steaks, but would need at least enough for sure showing up to bring side chit like baked beans, potato salad, things like that. Everyone who is for sure going to be there let Me know so I can arrange accordingly. And BTW Chris, let us know what we can do, already have the day requested off.

Mike, as good as that sounds I'm not sure I'd want you to do all that - especially if you plan on driving at the event. Though I'd like to be optimistic about the turnout I really don't know how many people we'll actually get. I've only seen 2 other DSMers (including you) show up to a track event like this in the past and even though I'm pushing people to go here and over on RMDSM.org I'm still a little hesitant to go overboard on effort this first time around.

Let's see how many DSMers really care about meeting up before we have you bring out your BBQ and waste time and money on food. This time around I'll do drinks and maybe a raffle. There will be food that can be purchased at the track. If we get a decent turnout we can do a little more at the next Pueblo NASA event later this year. So far I had hoped to see more interest than we've seen up to this point.
