MFBA Road America HPDE Invite, May 4th & 5th 2013



The MFBA Road America Spring Rental dates have been set!



We'll be renting the track out the weekend of May 4th and 5th, 2013.

Full details and registration is available via our website:
http://roadamerica.mfba.org/

All Make and Model Cars are Welcome to come out and Participate in this event!!

We have 4 run groups based on experience that get 5 20 min sessions
out on track each day. You will have a LOT of track time! Most people
are exhausted by the end of the day.

Instructors are available free of charge for people who would like
them, and anyone who has not been on Road America will automatically
have an instructor assigned to them.

We also offer a lunch time touring session for those that just want to
get a chance to go out on the track at slower speeds.

Pricing..........................................Weekend..............Single Day
Now till Feb 14th............................$395.....................$235
Feb 14th to Apr 13th......................$445......................$255
Apr 13th to day of Event.................$495.....................$275
Spectators................................................................$5

Many of you noticed that we pushed last years event pretty hard to
make it a success. We do plan to push this event even harder. We
anticipate that some run groups will fill up early so we strongly
encourage per-registration.

Thanks and we hope to see you in the spring!

- MFBA


This is the only song going through my head at this point.

Will be putting the GTA on the track this year again.

I had forgotten about this post in the need to update the others.

Touring has been cancelled both days. In its place are extra hot sessions.

I had planned on coming for the touring. If you had some info on pre-registering for touring maybe you could better gauge interest. May still come to watch but unlikely.

Touring was not cancelled due to lack of interest, we always hit the maximum car limit unless weather intervenes. I am aware of the reasons for canceling it and I agree with those reasons even if I'm rather bummed about the decision.

I can certainly understand not wanting to put your car on a hot session if you don't feel its ready to handle the requirements of it. I have done touring every year there because I'm not always in a car that has brakes that can stand up to a Hot Session.

Group B (Advanced) is now full. A, C, and D aren't far behind. Judging by the Numbers Group C (Intermediate) will be the next to fill.

Porsche crashed before lunch.
It's turned into a Z06 Fest - they're everywhere!
