Maple Grove Reading event
Just seeing what interest there is in a possible autox or drag strip event at Reading. Maple Grove is close by (maybe 15 minutes). I looked it to it a bit last year but it was $$$ when looking at the numbers interested. Ideally we'd like to keep something on Sunday am if possible so those not interested aren't tied down at something they don't wanna do.
Now just so everyone knows the autox lot is not the smoothest. My XT loves it but it'll definately not be the best on worn suspensions.

I vote for AutoX. I havnt had a chance to run one with the new springs. Then again with any luck I'll have the stage 3 by then so I could go for the Drag strip too. I wouldn't mind running agains a couple of other SVXii. Maybe someone will have a Stage 2 to run against.

Keep in mind these things do cost money. Need lots of particiants with money hopefully prepaid as this would cost in the $1000s I'm guessing. Gotta keep in mind that we'd need someone to run the thing for insurance purposes. I know I don't have $ to back it.

If their dragstrip is open, its usually a "pay as you go" thing. I pay $25 or so for the car and driver, Mike pays for himself, we both hope not to get smoked by a neon The track makes us sign a waver, everybody happy.

I just called Maple Grove and they are closed untill April 16+17th.http://www.maplegroveraceway.com/index.asp
I'm not sure of their policy, but to my knowledge, most places let you run in a street eliminator class. Or a test and tune is also fun.

Either way, if a drag racing meet does happen, it'll be cool to see some modded SVXs making some runs down the strip! -Chike
