Race YOUR car at Road America!!

I recieved the following email from MFBA.org. The event described entails taking your own car on one of the greatest road courses ever built IMO. All you need is a helmet and working seatbelts (although harnesses are recommended). All the info you need to know can be found in the email I recieved below:

Any idea how much actual track time you get for that money? Do they have "speed limits"?
My dad used to go up there all the time for the Corvette races YEARS ago.......back when it was still called Elkhart Lake. I have always wanted to go up there and run.

you get four 20 minute sessions on Saturday and scheduled for 4 on Sunday. Usually people leave early on Sunday, so the groups get condensed and you may get up to six 20 minute sessions on Sunday.

There is no Speed limit. My '90 Vette with a pourly tuned ECM ran 145-ish down the straight-a-way.

This is really a fun event. No pressure, no competition, just fun. Passengers are allowed to run with you if they have a helmet.

Sounds tempting....... I dont think I will be able to go this year, but will keep it in mind for next year. Super Chevy in Indy is a MUST and Hot Rod decided to drive the Power Tour right thru my hometown. That pretty much eats up the days off for the year.

Kevosiroc -

I run with MCSCC with my friend (also a thrid gen owner). He loves Road America. The October 15 and 16 is more realistic for us. Will you be attending both or just the April one?
