Hey Max, BIR is a great track! Since you're here in the midwest (technically the upper midwest) will you be joining us at Autobahn?

I'd love to, but I think the car will be down for the year with some upgrades and projects.

Plus the next weekend will be Car Craft and it looks like I'll be working that show again for Doug, which means I have to get prepared for the big weekend ahead! :)

Pacific Northwest but it has to be an event in the summer.

http://www.portlandraceway.com/ it has room for autocross and speed stop challenges.

http://www.oregonraceway.com/ private club racetrack.

Very cool tracks, we will keep these in mind. Our task at hand right now is to find out who is coming out to Autobahn in July as we are making plans for food, t-shirts, etc.

Jeff, Unfortunately, track economics are not equally divided! Autobahn is a premier country club facility here in the Midwest and it's not open to the general public. We have at least 6 fifteen minute sessions scheduled for Saturday (that's at least 1.5 hours of track time!) and we have open autocross sessions scheduled for Sunday. We always strive to maximize track time - remember last year's Faceoff and Midwest Musclecar Challenge? We had participants sitting in the pits at both events because they were exhausted.

Additionally, we're hosting a karting enduro at this event which has proven to be some of the most fun a guy can have with his clothes on.

We truly feel that everyone will get their money's worth and more at the Heidts performance Car Challenge.

Just repeating what had been said to me. I will most likely be there. Too close not to.

Biggest thing holding me back is that you guys scheduled this the same time as Mark Bowlers Day at the strip event, which is one of my favorite autocrosses.

Id be game for an event in Sears Point! Thats my favorite track of all time!

I'll be there with either my 69 Mustang or the 48 Hour Camaro...whichever one is fastest [or at least still running] by then. I love running tracks I've never run before...can't wait!

Also...the reason the Motorstate event is only $100 is that they are subsidizing the rest of the cost internally. They deserve a huge round of applause for that. Best deal of the summer!
$400 is well in line for 2 days of nicely organized track time anywhere in the country.

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 04:47 PM.
