very cool! I love this club!

Awesome!!! We should try to make an event out of this... For the RCC!!! Lets spread the word!!!

Quick Question Kevin,

I tried to order and it says Paddock pass is $10.. Do I not select for paddock pass?? Do you get it at the event?? Can you check on this??

Also, I might move this to the top and have a new sub forum for this..... instead of DGRR..

Let me know what you think.

how much are the tickets total?

I will check on that. I was thinking of moveing it also, let it rip!

Did you enter the code for the car club discount? When you do, it takes you to a new page where a paddock pass is included with every ticket you purchase. For some reason, that page also shows that you can purchase additional paddock passes for $10 each, though I don't know why anyone would buy an extra one.

I see.. So, pad dock pass thing I see is for an extra one.. Hmm.. My bad.. My mistake!

OK.. I guess I'll purchase one:) I have to talk to my wife and make sure there isnt anything else I need to do.

For all three days, its $50 total.. I think??

purchase two and bring the wife also, I'll bring mine if you bring your's LOL :)

LOL! I have to see if she's working that weekend or if we have a wedding to goto.. Also, I think one of her friend is working at the event and might get me a pass:) Last time he worked there he treated one of the bike racer..

We may try to make this race.

This event will support RCC and great way to watch the races!!.. So, hope some of you will come join the fun! Barber Motorsport park is a cool place and definitely worth the trip!

Pending, I'll be also giving away RCC shirts at the event!

I'll come if you promise me a RCC shirt. :biggthumpup:

I'm still looking for a cheap printer.. david jerome told me about one but we still haven't gotten a quote yet. As soon as I have some, I'll promise one to you:)

Damn I just looked at the calendar and this is same weekend as ZoomFest at Road Atlanta.

I know.. I would attend Zoom fest but this is in my back yard.

Yeah well Zoom fest is in my back yard, hehe.

I know:)

But if you attend Grand AM, $5 will be donated to RCC. So, its RCC event.

I wished they had it another weekend, but oh well. Maybe next year!

I'm going to try to make it down, would be an awesome trip!

Why is it that all the races I want to go to are so far away from me?

Well if my 84 gets painted soon I will definetly come out for this event. BTW does someone local handle the RCC decals? I'll throw some on the car when its done with paint.

hes not local or in this country even but everyone that has delt with him has had great experiances. PM -xlr8planet- for your decal needs. I think he has a 40th anny version bagde decal that is for RCC, not sure what all else. He can also do just about anything you could possibly want decal wise.

Who all will be comming to this event? I would like to get RCC shirts for everyone attending the event! Just make sure you purchase your tickets and let them know your with RotaryCarClub.com so it will help pay for your shirts!

List your name here and shirt size if you are comming to this event.

Only two weeks away. Get your tickets and car corral pass now!
 

The Porsche 250 Grand Am Rolex Series races at the Barber Motorsports Park are only two weeks away. Get your tickets and car corral pass now! See below for ordering information.

Some interesting changes and additions have been made to this year's event. The Koni Challenge series, with it's huge variety of marques, runs on Saturday and the Rolex Series DP and GT will be combined into one race on Sunday. Some series that are new to the Barber Motorsports Park include: The BF Goodrich Skip Barber National (http://www.skipbarber.com/race_serie...pionships.aspx) will thrill the crowd with open-wheeled racing, the SunTrust MOTO-ST Endurance Motorcycle racing (http://www.moto-st.com/) will bring some two-wheeled excitement to the event, and the Ford Mustang Challenge Series (http://www.millercup.com/) will bring a large, competitive group of cars and the makings for a great race.

Some significant improvements have been made at the track since last year's event. Most notably, the gully between the car corral area and spectator hill has been filled in, creating one large area. This will make getting back and forth in this area a breeze. There is also much more frontage area for the corral, meaning that more cars can be parked track side.

Trying hard to get the car painted this week. I want it to be presentable, and want everyone to think I'm cool.

Dude your cool, Get your ass out there!

So, who's going to this???
 

Please post here if you are going to Grand Am race!!

I will be there all three days, hopefully in a rotary.

I'd like to support RCC with a donation, but cannot make the event. Have there been any t-shirts made up yet?

No..
NO Tshirts..
Also, seems like there are Very few coming to this event..

I may go Sunday if I get a free ticket. But I'm not going to be in town Friday. I'm just not excited to go watch racing like I usually am.

Are you going Phil??

I think so..
