[Fot] KASTNER CUP 2028. Open now for PROPOSALS.

[Bob Kramer]

Joe,

The Texas FoT hosted the K Cup at Hallett in 2006 and Eagles Canyon in
2012. Both times we were light on attendance with 28 and 24 cars in
attendance and that was back in the days when we had more local TxFOT cars
than we do now. I think half of the cars at Eagles Canyon were TxFOT.

Having just completed a 4,500 mile tow to Mosport, side trip to visit
family included, I get it. I asked around the paddock to see if the racers
in attendance would go to Hallett if we hosted and very few said yes. A
couple more agreed that the Ozarks track would be more acceptable but that
is a VSCDA tevent and still not interesting enough to attract the east
coast guys. I talked with a board member with CVAR and he thinks that they
would be willing to host us at Hallett in October or NOLA Motorsports Park
April/May without question and mentioned that the lengthened and completely
rebuilt Eagles Canyon races in the March or September were also potentially
available. Currently the CVAR races at ECR are fully subscribed but the
track is adding paddock space so that we can have room for more cars.

I think I could muster up help from the TxFOT racers to host in 2028, but I
personally would rather do a 2 day tow for an event with 40 cars than host
an event with 20. I'm thinking the best CVAR option would be NOLA. It's a
two day tow for many folks, in early May, or late April it hasn't got too
hot yet, it has lots of space to paddock, it's fast and we'd have a lot of
stroke with CVAR because it is undersubscribed. Also, it is in New Orleans.
So, having said all that, if this is of interest to the larger group, I
would want to work on a way to see how many would attend.

Bob
