Just A Feeler - *insertusernamehere* - 11-20-2015
Everyone can chime in on this and tell me what you think but Sam and I always had the idea of renting out Shenandoah speedway since its not that expensive and just have an MM Funday. Weekends are more expensive but Fridays from 12-6pm are only $600. It's not a small amount but if everyone pitches we can cover that easy and guarantees enough of participating to make a for a really fun day. BRR-SCCA offered me a ton of cones at the college solo and so I took them of course. Now we need to put them to use at least once.
So.... Sam and I would ofcourse have to look into it a little more to make sure $600 covers everything (like insurance and that kinda stuff) but assuming this all pans out nicely, who would actually be down to try. If we get 20 people that's $30 a person and we can bring the grill and get some food. We can use the cones to setup games, maybe not timed races but like little top gear obstacle courses that don't involve contact with anything lol. So like drive to one end, switch drivers, run through some obstacle course, grab something off the floor kinda thing and the place is big enough where we could set it up that we have 2 courses so we can "Race" against each other to finish the course fastest. This would be great for freshman MMers to be able to just hop in any car and part take and have fun.
I can't find just one big picture of the whole place so look here and they have some photos <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/98242301@N05/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/98242301@N05/</a><!-- m -->
So what do y'all say?

We have already had this discussion. You need to bring your own insurance I would assume. The $600 just covers the track rental. Good luck.

It's all up to what people are willing to pay for. If people want to pay for a day to just do whatever and have a good time then I think that's great. I think something like having our own autocross or timed event is a little too serious.
You all old people are telling me you wouldn't support some random car fun shit, drinking, cookout, and talking to students? I would. I feel like it would be a lot of fun.
You could have a set of random events that just get student involvement and participation. Since of course that's what all alumni want. It doesn't have to be competitive. And if you want student involvement, students love free shit.

I'd be interested provided we could split the cost to keep it to like $50-75/person.

I would love to pitch in just to dick around on the speedway, nothing too serious.

You really want to see a death match between MM members. I nominate Lucy vs any member in a 60 foot time challenge. There does that work?

I'm in, obviously not for a weekday thing though.
