Has anyone thought about having a Lightning Fest any time soon? Or is this a dead subject.
DelValLO is having their annual Spookfest in October and many Guys are coming from across the country to attend.

I think you guys should take care of that! LOL
I don't say it to be smart but to make a point. I don't think 98% of the guys here know how hard it is to plan an event like this, front the money, then hope enough guys show up to get YOUR money back.
Just to put it out there to rent a place like Atco raceway for a Saturday (which we can't afford) is about $20,000. That's why we do Fridays.
I would think real long and hard, trust me.

I've been involved in planning other events smaller then this would be and it's a nightmare! There is so much that goes into this that meets the eye I don't know why anyone would take on something like this without any serious backing and organization.
Why should it be so hard or expensive? Have a gathering at a public park with BBQ(catered or volunteer). Next day run the local track test and tune. Work a deal to have a special class or classes for the trucks. Pay entry fees only. It does not have to be a completely private event. A backup race day would be ideal if weather gets bad.
I have been to three Lightningfests and the gatherings at the NMRA races as well. I would love to travel and meet some others from around the country.
