Thanks Mike, we have been posting on so many boards that we forget about some of the most important ones.
We have multiple classes, imports, trucks, f-bodies, and stangs alike; come on out.
The money is worth it if you do the math; approx. less than $1 a mile on a Nationally known race track if you run both days.

I'll be there. Just sold the 96 SS and upgraded to a 98 Z with a few mods. My buddy and I are also bringing our Spec Miata.
I'm looking forward to it.

Hey Brad, I found the pic of you at RA in the special addition GMHTP mag. I have an extra copy that I can give you. I can give it to you anytime, even if I need to at the track.

PS Brad, That Hood Looks Very Cool.

Thanks for the heads up, it sounds like fun!! I decided I am definitely going to attend. I am toying with the idea of racing my truck or my Turbo Grand Prix. I'd rather race the truck but I dont know if it could even make one lap at full throttle :) I guess most likely I won't race either but I will watch at the very least!! (and hope to get a ride with someone else so I can get experience what the track feels like, for next time..)

I can't find an actuall price for this anywhere? Am I missing it or do you only find out when you register completely? Can someone enlighten me? :rolleyes:

Hey SMS1,
go to this site...
http://www.speedseekers.com/
and go through the "registration is now open"
pages, and you will see how it works.
it cost $320 for 2 days of track time.
Let me tell you this please....
i have joined Midwestern Council, and have gone racing with this sanctioning body, Worked Corners for W2W & have entered all AX's, and...
in AX, you get 4 minutes of practice, 3 times, and 3 timed laps at 1:28, that is 16.5 minutes of total track time for about $100.
which is $6 a minute.
Now, take MFBA RA event, and you get 4, 20 minute sessions on saturday, and 5, 20 minute sessions on sunday. that is 180 minutes of total track time.
which $1.7 a minute.
Plus, Road America is an awesome track, with lots of Sand run off. The Pits are Paved!!!!!!! Great Food, Etc...
$320 is worth it, when you have run at other tracks and see the difference.
John Gay, Dave Dill, Dan Kuehn, & WIVES, do a SUPER FANTASTIC job at running this event!!!!!!!:banana
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Thanx Mike, I've been pretty busy lately and probably just didn't read far enough! I'm sure this will be a great event. Unfortunately I will probably have to skip this one. Now I know what to expect for the next one! Besides that none of my or my brothers cars are really ready for the track yet, maybe we'll come out and watch . . .
Thanks again! Ben Steffen:3gears:

SMS 1, just to give you a little insite on getting your car prep'd.
Needs to meet basic tech, like any dragstrip (See Here (www.speedseekers.com/techinfo.html))
The only upgrading really needed is the front brake pads, but I would check over tires and rotors for enough material with stand the stress of the track.
My first two years all I did was ugrade the front pads and just took it somewhat :shades easy to make sure that I managed the track in a safe manner.
Any questions, give me a gingle
