All gassers needed!!

i have just found out that gasser magazine has taken there gasser reunion from thompson raceway park.they are now going to have it at norwalks summit raceway park.they are also going to have it on the 4th of july weekend.yes norwalk is a great track but thompson is a track more out for the racers than themselves and the almighty dollar{yes they like to make money}so lets see how many people will be interested in having a gasser meet in june.i will be talking with all of the SLICK DEVILS this week and also thompson to try to set our gasser meet.if int.just let me know.

 

Well I'm posting so I can better track your progress. I have nothing to run but I certainly like to attend.

 

Same Here. I'd attend.

 

thanks guys!!!even if you dont have a car all will be welcome.please let all of your friends know,thanks martin.

 

Depends on the date, but i would love to check it out!

 

You have it. They will come

 

I will come to Thompson. Norwalk is a nice track but I also think the gate cost to run for the weekend is going to be higher, I checked on what rooms are going for if you can find them and on the 4th of July weekend they are starting at around $145.00 a night and on Saturday they jump up to $189.00. I guess my other hang up is the format, I have not seen what Norwalk is going to do but I have to think it will not be like Thompson. You get a bigger place you add more to it, I think it will turn into another Good Guys style event and I have no problems with Good Guys group but making only 2 to 3 runs on Friday and Saturday and going right to eliminations starting Sunday morning like they did at Blue Suade this year really does not excite me. Thompson has always done a great job and it has a old school feeling to it. Again nothing against Norwalk but the gasser race could become lost in the size, Maybe I am wrong about this.

Have one at Thompson and we will be there.I don't plan on attending Norwalk.

I was at the 1st 2 gasser reunions in Bandimere,Co and at Gateway St. Louis. Both flopped, to big a venue and not enough gate money. Investors lost money. I guess there dollar signs in the eyes is getting to them!!! WE all usually learn from past mistakes.

 

My clan would be more eligable to come and race at thompson. Haved raced at both Norwalk & Thompson as a racer participant. I would say thompson is my favorite of the two. And yes I would come to an event in june if you slick devels can work it out. Thanks in advance for your efferts. (rivits&tin 41 chev bus coup)

 

Sounds awesome! I was hoping to have my car finished for the GR, but the 4th is booked, and if the rooms are going to be that much...forget it. So if you guys do this thing, I'll be there. Please keep us posted.

 

Count me in. How about
"The Slick Devils" and TRP present
OHIO GASSER GATHERING at
Thompson Raceway Park

 

thanks guys.i think we can make something happen.i talked to some people last night and got a great response.i guess another HAMB member and friend of mine wants to take this over.he is very good at orginising and knows alot of people.i think together and with the support of thompson and other racers we can have the best event around!!!i will keep everyone informed.thanks again,martin.

 

hope to see you there!

 

I've been to every Thompson Gasser Reunion.

Who is the Slick Devils? Are they capable of staging an event like this? Any prior experience? Before I sign up for something I would like more concrete details.

 

count me in.

 

I attened Thompson for the first time this past year. I had a great time and definately would go agian just for the chance to stand on the walkway over the starting line. Would like to bring the Fiat again and my Dad's Opel. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

we'll see if my boys and I can get the falcon somewhat presentable by then...

 

Contact has been made with the track manager. More to come next week when the track owner comes back to town. We will keep you posted. Either way, there will be an event there next year same date.

 

Sounds good Don, I look forward to hearing the details. It is the first weekend in June correct?

Jon

 

hope to see you again there.is the fiat going to be done?is your dads car a gt?

 

Yes, My Dad's Opel is a GT. We just picked it up a few weeks ago. We were going to buy a Kadet But the Gt came along and was a better car. I don't know if the Fiat will be done. I hope to be alot farther along by then.

 

at least there will be another opel there!!!!hope you get your fiat ready.see you guys there!
