Grattan Raceway May 11 (Near Grand Rapids MI)
Go to http://events.kzoorice.com/ to register. My friend is setting up the event. My car isn't listed yet, but you can bet your **** I'll be there
Cost is $125.
Last year we had an event at Gingerman raceway and it was a lot of fun.
This isn't a competitve race or anything, just an opportunity to take your car to the track for a day and beat the hell out of it! Its nice to test out some mods that we work so hard on.
See the link above for more details.
Last year we had mostly ricers blah. I was the only thirgen. The fastest cars last year were the C5 vettes. There were stock jettas etc in the slower heat, so don't worry about being too slow (if you're slower than a jetta please dont come). Nobody there was a professional driver or anything. Just regular old gear heads like most of the guys on this board.
One piece of advice... Brakes... I smoked my regular lifetime warranty pads real fast last year on the first heat. Lifetime warranty pads do not stick well when hot. Between heat 1 and 3 I went to Autozone and got some carbon metalics which didn't fade near as bad, but still weren't awesome. I'm going to upgrade to C5 brakes before I go this year.
Hopefully you can make it.

I forgot to tell you guys the best thing about this track. It has a 1/2 mile straight away coming out of a 50 mph turn. How awesome is that!?!
I can't believe I can't find any takers on this board.

I recently found out that we can camp out at the track the night before so we don't have to wake up real early the day of.
Currently there are 19 registered. They are slowly filling up, but I'm sure will hit the 40 mark in the next couple of weeks.
