    Default Texas size gathering

    I'm going out on the ledge/bridge/embankment here.......

    It's far enough out that everybody can work with their respective partners.....

    one race - a support race, in Texas, at USGP next year that brings all F2000 series on the track at the same time.....East coast, West coast and Dan's.......

    I'm not trying to bait anyone into calling the other something that will get them banned.... It's a legit thought...

    Cooper can have the larger HP cars - Hoosier the smaller (as a start to the ideas)......... An F2000 "super race" on the biggest road racing stage in the US next year...

    Put everything aside and combine to put on the best show possible! It would be nuts!

    Come on Mike/Dan - pick up the phone and call Dan/Mike - make it happen! It will be a tough gig to get without some pooling of resources.... (unless IMS front's the money - then I guess we'll have to all get IRL licenses... )

    Oh - and side impact panels would be mandatory for all cars!!!

    Default We vote YES !

    An excellent idea Matt !
    Imagine what the "rest of the world(s)" would think if they saw 10-15 USF2000 Mazda's, 8-12 PacificF2 Zetec's, and 20+ F2KCS on Hoosiers all on the big track running infront of the world stage ! If 40+ cars ran in 3 separate classes that were easy to explain the differences to the crowd...and if the F2 drivers put on the "Great Race of the Weekend" like we have done many times before ... WOW !

    What would be bad about this ?
    Would this type of event "bridge-the gap" and return 2litre cars to the prominent Junior Formula Car stage ?
    Could all 3 Series be willing to support the event even if it was : (a) no Series points awarded, (b) "super/extra" points awarded in your Series, or (c) Single Event Championship that could be used to "capture" a large Series Sponsor if we can have big crowds / big car counts / great racing with lots of buzz

    Since it doesn't cost much to daydream & talk.....

    Maybe Lone Star beer in a one off sponsorship deal. And a ZZ Top concert to kick it off.

    Stupid Monkey Racing is saving up starting right now.

    Can I get a hell yeah?
