Ok, I have decided to put together a little bit of a bash "replacement" if you will (J-body bash replacement). This is a whole new staff, new coordinators, new location new everything. I'd like to thank those who have helped in the past, I know I've had a blast at all the prior events.....BUT

Its time for a new event. We didn't have one last year, and I among MANY others are really itchin for another big bash. SO

This is what I have come up with so far:

WHERE:MANSFIELD MOTOR SPEEDWAY Mansfield Motor Speedway
100 Crall Rd
Mansfield, OH 44903
WHEN: JULY 27-28
WHY: Brand new facility opens this spring. This is going to be a concrete laser level track, which top notch equipment and staff. Slick guys, prepare to be spoiled, you will get multiple track treatments and get to go first

As far as a basic intinerary goes, the show will be on Friday at the speedway. We'll have the track to ourselves on saturday to race, with the awards presentation on sunday.


BY ALL MEANS SPREAD THIS TO ANY FORUM YOU CAN! I only ask that you let me know any boards to put it up on, and in doing so, please just copy/paste this post

We will be accepting vendor booths, anyone interested in setting up, can contact:

Hotels, registration, class information

Host Hotel:
Holiday Inn
1392 Enterprise Parkway
Ashland, OH 44805

419 281 2900

More expensive of the 2, but FAR greater parking. Parking shouldn't be cramped plus the hotel is fairly new and is going to be a nice stay for everyone. Has a pool, open till 11, can't have it open any later....I tried already It's a little pricey, but they're the only hotel that could hold the bulk of us.

Single Rooms are all same, be it king, double fulls or whatever, suites will be more, just call in to reserve those, I'm sure they'll help you on those as well.
$119/standard room, call in for suite pricing. They do have maybe a couple 2 room suites, separate sitting and sleeping rooms

Cancellations must be done min 1 week prior to event!!!!!



Secondary Hotel
Super 8 Motel
736 US Highway 250E
Ashland, OH 44805

419 281 0567

Just down the street from Holiday Inn, maybe 1/4 mile away if that. You can see one hotel from the other, so they're close. Denny's is DIRECTLY next door, and McD's is also next door, both open 24 hours Parking is a LOT thinner, maybe 1/4 of what Holiday Inn has to offer.
Rooms:

$72/night for all normal rooms
Suites are a tad more, maybe 20 bucks tops. Call in for pricing on those.


If we somehow fill those (oh how I wish for us to) there is a 3rd hotel option I can explore

 

it would be great if we could get people to come. It was started by the J-body community but it is for all GM small cars.

Is there a better forum to put this in? I put it in Great lakes but I would like everyone to see it, it is a national event.

Also, here is the official Website for the gmtunerbash.

Mansfield is in Ohio, obviously.... I will get a map from google

Mansfield, OH
The more the merrier! Tell your friends!
I look forward to seeing you there.

 

Very interested, but ssooo far !! haha

 

I agree, its going to be about a 10 hour drive for me, but what the hell! It only happens once a year and its far enough forward that there is more than enough time to ask for time off from work if need be!

 

Yeah your right... hahaha 10 hours for you thats preatty far to. google maps sais 16 hours for me! Let me think about it! Deff interested. Is it for GM subcompacts only? How many cars are you expecting apprx?

 

That's awesome! But I live in FL. Have a fun & take lots of pics guy & girls. I won't be coming...

 

how far is this from 46373??? im interested!!

 

Martinsmu - the last bash I went to was 18 hours away!, it was right outside St.Louis.

Its for GM compacts, but anyone and everyone is more than welcome. If my cavalier isn't up and running by then, and I don't have a new truck, we will be coming in my girlfriend's PT Cruiser.

Also, since the JBO bash has been cancelled indefinitely, being that our cars have been disscontinued for bigger, better, and faster things, you can expect a lot of guys to be there. I am also posting this on many forums. SKY, REDLINE, SOLSTICE, QUAD4, ETC ETC ETC...


Intense SS - its about 5 hours away from your zipcode
here is the link

ohio?? where the hell...?hahahha

 

Seriously considering it!! How many cars though, like 20, 40, or like 100?? guessing obviously

 

dunno if i wanna make the trip or no but sounds really cool!!!

 

i wonder why tim schilling isnt running the bashes anymore like he was doing with him and dave from jbody and a few others .

 

Codyak - its in Ohio because its more centralized in the USA. Being that this is a National meet, we don't want to be biased and do it in Cali, or NE areas.

Also, the track is brand new and we are going to be one of the first meets to conjugate there.

2006black - I'm not entirely sure why Schilling isn't running them. I know that there was a poor registration turnout the last few years, but it was still considered a mostly jbo thing. This year we want that to change. Yes, this is kinda our replacement, but in no way shape or form is it just for us. Our platform is dead, no reason to beat it.

martinsmu - From what it looks like, and registration has yet to even open, the event is over 160 days away, there are over 80 potential registrars.

I am taking it on my own to sign up for more forums and try to get more people interested. If you are interested, feel free to do the same!

cool well i will definately be down for a road trip.

 

HELL YEA I'LL BE THERE!!! This is like 40 min from my parents house. Finally, Ohio has something worth going to. Other than the Cleveland Auto show.

 

YAY something in ohio. thats a mabye for me. i might be in training, but if not ill try to come.

 

????

 

Damn, I'd be willing to go but thats 2 or 3 days away. If more people from the west coast were down to go we could all go in a big group or so. Just an idea.

 

hell yeah make a big ass video on it to...hmmm make a thread once we get the dates for this would be a good idea... Although Ohio is hardly centralized...kansas would have been centralized fo sho..but we might cut 1/2 the population of cobalts in a tornado

You western guys should start up your own caravan thread, and also post it up on JBO, or I could link it up for you.

 

I live in Akron so i might show up... but ill know closer to that date.

 

depends on a) how many ppl are def. going and b) if i can get a tralier and a trunk to tow my car out there,in july im not gonna wanna drive the balt that far.

 

anyone from NY going to this?

 

Price to race? Also, this is a full 1/4 mile track, right?

 

ide be going through ny. lol
