So looks like we going and i'll tow the evo up after all through ABC motor home super nice gal there to name was Cindy.
are you getting ready? http://aksportscarclub.org/tanacross/ ========== INFORMATION Tanacross occurs twice yearly just outside of Tok. This is where we put on our wheel to wheel and time trials events, enjoy great family and friend times with awesome camping and pot luck evenings. EVENT DAYS May 25-26, 2013 - Tanacross Airstrip, Tok, AK ONLINE REGISTRATION http://aksportscarclub.org/registration Online registration is only for those paying online. Cash and Check registrations will be taken at the event. It is suggested for wheel to wheel drivers to have your membership and competition license applications approved before registering. ---------------- WHEEL TO WHEEL ENTRY FEE $250.00 ADDITIONAL REQUIRED FORMS 2013 AASCLC Membership 2013 Competition License REQUIRED ITEMS Helmet Wristbands (given at registration) 5-Point Seatbelt Fire Suit Fire Extinguisher Refer to competition rules for complete list CLASSES All classes of vehicles are welcome. Please review the Competition Rules for more information on each class. IT GTU GTO GTX Legends PRE-TECHNICAL INSPECTION All wheel to wheel cars are required to attend. If you cannot make it, please contact the club. May 11, 2013 12 PM (noon) Underground Performance & Off-Road ---------------- TIME TRIALS ENTRY FEE $80.00 REQUIRED ITEMS Helmet Wristbands (given at registration) 3-Point Seatbelt Refer to competition rules for complete list ---------------- WANT TO HELP? We are always looking for volunteers to help at our events. This includes registration and corner workers for our ice racing events. If you are interested in volunteering, come to one of our monthly meetings to find out more information and let us know you’d like to help out. ---------------- OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION For those of you who are unfamiliar, here are a few pertinent details: * Yes, there is real road racing in Alaska! * There will be both wheel-to-wheel road racing and single car time trials at this event. * Wheel-to-wheel cars must be actual caged race cars and pass a rigorous tech inspection. Driver gear (racing suit, helmet) is also inspected at this time. * Wheel to wheel classes include Improved Touring, GTU, GTO, GTX, and Legends. * Time trial cars can be regular street cars, as long as they are in good working order. Drivers must wear helmets and long pants/sleeves, but no special safety equipment is required. * No experience is necessary to drive in this event—coaching is available for both time trial and wheel-to-wheel drivers. * Free camping is available on-site and other, more luxurious, forms of lodging are available in Tok (about 10 miles away). * Feasting and other forms of merry making are encouraged, but not necessarily required. This is a family-friendly environment and not an all out party—BYOB and something for the Saturday potluck dinner. * While we would like to see everyone compete, we do also need volunteers to work the track. If you are a spectator, a corner station is definitely the best seat in the house from which to watch the races. * Volunteers will also be eligible to go on ride-alongs in either time trial cars or wheel-to-wheel cars (with proper safety gear). * Pre-race tech inspection for wheel-to-wheel cars will be held at a local shop. Location, date, and time TBA–watch our website and this thread for details. Please plan to attend this tech inspection or be prepared to pay an additional fee of $50 for inspection at Tanacross. * Don't build a race car without first checking with the club for rules, regulations and advice.
* Registered users of the site do not see these ads.

Yup, we be getting ready. I completed the red car, which was the most important item, still have some tweaking/gremlins to sort out but yeah, shes running. Item #1 on my list can be crossed off. Haha. Now just need the snow to melt to dig out the camper/tow vehicle to fix a couple things and get newer tires put on it.

I have an empty seat in the truck and also will let whoever comes with can run my car. Just ask you cover your food and bring whatever else you'll need (tent, sleeping bag, etc)... oh and take pictures, cause I suck at doing that.

The fun you can have up there (what wheel to wheel racing, do some solo high speed time trials, camping, pot luck, drinking, hanging with friends, making new friends) more than makes up for the driving - plus it's a nice scenic drive and fun with other folks.

Oh crap, I just went from should have enough time to now having to put in 20hr days... I now have a week less to prep I thought Memorial Day was the last weekend of the month!
I don't think the drive is far, though I drive trucks all over the state so I guess it's subjective. It's only about 550 miles round trip, maybe $100 worth of fuel in a car. It's funny to me that many of you guys will go on 100 mile "cruises" and don't think anything of it but a drive out to Wasilla or to Tanacross is too far Last edited by ORANUGLAD; 05-12-2013 at 05:33 PM. |

Makes sense to me.
Took us 4.5hrs each way last year, it's about 290 miles. |

Shaggie and I made it from Anchorage (dowling/old seward) to Tok intersection in 4 hours flat one time, included stop at Starbucks in Palmer Fred Meyer, and stop in Glen Allen.
