    Lightbulb G8/GTO (Holden) Takeover Topeka Show N Go (CANCELLED)

    Thought I would post this for those that might be interested. I am working with Heartland Park Raceway in Topeka Kansas to host a G8/GTO event. Friday June 5th drag racing from 5:00-11:00pm and Saturday car show from 10:00am - 2:00pm at the race track. We are working out all of the details and currently have 50 cars committed to attending. I realize as it gets closer, more people will jump on board and wanted to make sure that as many people were aware of the event as possible. If you are on Facebook, you can join the guest list to help us and Heartland Park plan for the number of cars attending ( https://www.facebook.com/events/298543547015332/ ). If you are not on Facebook, just comment below that you plan on attending.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible. Hope to see everyone there!

    Drag Race $25 - Spectator $12
    car show = Entry TBD
    If we have a large showing, they may open the drag strip up to our group on Saturday as well. More information will be posted as it comes in.

    Super 8 Topeka 5922 SW Topeka Blvd Topeka, KS 66619 (closest to Heartland Park Raceway) ONLY 50 ROOMS AVAILABLE!
    Mention "G8/GTO Owners" when booking to receive our group rate of $67.49 double or $65 single King, King Suite $79.99 and Jacuzzi Suite (queen bed) $71.99 (per night). Ask for Khush or Kristina.

    I will start working with a hotel on pricing in January. At this point I am trying to solidify plans for both the car show and racing.
    I hope to have the details for everyone soon.

    Fellow G8 enthusiasts. If any of you are also on the GTO message board and could post this information for me, I would greatly appreciate it. We are already over 70 cars committed to attending from 12 different states, but I know we are not reaching as many people as we could be. This information has been posted on multiple Facebook G8/GTO pages and of course here, but I am not a member of every site.
    If you or members of your club are planning on attending, please PM me so that we have a good idea of how many will be coming.
