SC Monthly Meet for SC area

Hey guys,
Sorry been quiet for a bit on planning. Went out to mini Zoomfest, aka track day, in Alabama. That took a bit of cash on our part.

So...
Someone mentioned doing the following for our next meet
They do the Test'n'Tune Thursday and Saturday nights
The Drag Strip
http://houseofhook.com/

It's $10 for spectators and $15 for racers.


They have:
Test and Tune
"Have you made changes to something and really need to make some passes? We have what you are looking for, Thursday and Saturday nights from 7pm to 11pm we offer open testing for anyone with a helmet and seat belt. Of course if you go a little faster than the normal street car there are some rules that apply to keep everyone safe when making your blast down the House Of Hook. Be sure to check out the rules section to find out what safety requirements your car may need."

Also:
Grudge Racing
"Is there someone at work, a friend or colleague, or you just looking to try your luck against someone? We offer Grudge racing on Test and Tune nights so you can go back and have some bragging rights to tell all your friends. Sometimes these nights can get pretty wild and crazy but remember its all in good fun. If you want to let your opponent leave before you do or whatever your wish may be just let us know we can handle most any request. Don't let the wild and crazy antics scare you away because we have the family section of bleachers for those just wanting to take it all in and not get into the middle of game."

Drag isn't really my thing. 'Sides, I've got two autocrosses in the next month to get my Mazdacomp results.

When were you thinking of meeting? Next weekend (7/31) I have a bar review course. The weekend after that we're headed to NC. Then school starts again...

No joke. I'll probably miss my best friend's wedding because of it.
