Hello all,

On Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 at the Aloha Tower Marketplace from 10 till 4PM, the Oahu Motorsports Advisory Council will be holding the Build The Track! Motorsports Show (tentative name).
This show will be in support of the efforts to build a new raceway facility on Oahu, and will seek to inform and educate the general public about the different types of motorsports that have occured on the island, and our plight.

The media coverage will be huge, and the list of entertainment events tentatively scheduled are:

RC Drift & Grip Racing
Live Stage Band
Radio/DJ support from Visionary Entertainment
Picture opportunities for the kids to take in real race cars
Informational videos pertaining to the efforts to Build The Track!
Free stickers!
Possible Charity Event

We'll be adding or taking events away as we get closer to the date...we're still early in the planning stages.

Setup time will currently start at 5 to 6AM...vehicles will be placed in and around Aloha Tower. We're aiming to show 30 different vehicles (plus 10 as backups for no-shows) related to the motorsports community. We need a cross section of vehicles ranging from drag, drift, dirt, go-kart, motocross, road racing, etc..etc. Due to the overwhelming response and the suggestions by some of you, we're going to have a mini car show of about 55 cars or so give or take...I'm completing a registration form at the moment, and when it's said and done, I'll open it up for you guys to submit. Keep in mind that if you commit to this, please don't be a no-show, as it will hurt the show, and we'll be unable to really put on a good effort. The media prescence should be huge.

The mini-show will be held in the terminal where they do valet parking...right directly behind the palm tree sidewalk leading up to the thower...we'll be able to fit about 30 cars there, Hot Import Nights Style, and another 25-30 on the pier in what we're going to call "Tuner Row". The cars within the terminal will be able to open their doors, hoods, trunks, and show off in true car show fashion. Setup has changed to 5 or 6 in the morning.

Keep in mind, we'll probably be swamped with registrations...since it's free, so we're going to pick what we would consider the most modified, well done cars outta the group. Please don't be offended if you're not picked.

If you have or know of anyone who has a RACE vehicle and would like to volunteer to show off your pride and joy, please let me know by either posting or emailing me at ht@buildthetrack.com The event will be manned, and we'll have security there as well, so you can rest easy knowing that your ride will be safe.

We'd really appreciate if the motorsports community could get behind this show and really help us to make a presence. It's the only auto show DEDICATED to helping to Build The Track! It will also be free entry...and is not for profit.

Thanks to Aloha Tower Marketplace, Visionary Entertainment, and SCCA National for helping out with the sponsorship of this event. If your company would be interested in helping out as sponsors or anything else, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you,
Michael Kitchens
Chairman
Oahu Motorsports Advisory Council

Flyer #1 has been completed...this is a post planning flyer with more information to come!

 

Have any MINIs signed up yet?

There might be a MINI with 400 HP soon. Contact MINI of Hawaii.
Sneak peak on friday April 27 at the dealership. Worth a call if you think you want the craziest Power modded MINI.

Is there a separate MINI show as well???
"The mini-show will be held in the terminal where they do valet parking"
Or do you mean the limited car show is in the terminal area?

 

Sorry I missed this...no...no minis at the car show yet. It's a mini-vehicle show...just a small car show, basically. I'll look into the MINI deal.

 

OK, thanks for the update. I thought that was the case for the mini show.

Here's a few pictures on the 400 HP MINI.

Looks pretty good for a race ready MINI that is still street legal.

Mike W. also has a turbo MINI that should be ready by June 3rd.

 

I'll check into this now, thanks! 400HP in a mini is f'ing insane. How do they deal with the torque at the wheels? I couldn't imagine trying to drive a road course with that. >_<

 

ENTRANT PACKAGE IS DONE!

Link: Click here for ENTRANT PACKAGE!

All entrants selected to be in the show will be contacted within the next few days so watch your email!

We are still accepting registrations as well!

 

All packages are sent out...we have 0 entries from Minis. Sorry all. :(

I was hoping Barry Raff could at least show his mini...but oh well.

 

Did you check with Mike Ward? His 300+hp auto-x MINI should be done. The 400+hp MINI is Andrew Y.'s from a few SuperLaps.

 

I didn't have time to look into it yet...I'll send them a PM right now, though. Just been really freakin' busy. Mike is already showing his G35...

 

Mike can show both his G35 and MINI. We can help drive one if his wife doesn't want to drive.

Thanks for the heads up with the status of entries.

 

Welps, let me know if you guys are still entering...I think I've got the Fireball 400 Mini in the show now...but he's supposed to get back with me.

I can work out whatever needs to be worked out, but for now

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!

Thank you to everyone that has registered, and plans to enter! We're at max capacity!

 

We'll have Andrew's 400HP Mini on Hand! Yay Mini! :D

The banner is up...almost time for the biggest motorsports show ATM has ever had!

 

Our KPOI 105.9 spot...for the BTT! Motorsports Show...

It got a few seconds cut off of it, but I'll have the official one soon... :D

The Volunteer Meeting is 6PM @ ATM Food Court on Thursday...if you are, or are interested in, volunteering, please try to make this meeting...it'll basically be a short walkthrough to describe how the event will be run, and answer any questions, as well as to assign positions. Thanks all!

 

Thanks for the updates.

 

NP. Thanks!

Heads up for our volunteers...we will be providing lunch from Hooters free of charge for the day, and of course, you'll be one of the first to receive a Build The Track! T-Shirt. Early morning volunteers will have muffins to get them started, and hopefully some coffee as well. Thanks for your support!

 

Thanks all...here's a whole buttload of photos for those of you that missed the event! It was great!
