We need some advise. Who would like to see the event back to Putnam on the Road course for Saturday and Sunday autocross at Lawrenceville, vs both days .
The only date that Putnam has available is May 11th.

May 11th, that's the same date as the Heidt's Performance Car Challenge event in Chicago. FYI

Alright, I blew it... I voted before I read Mark's post about the available date. I really would love to run Putnam Park, but not at the cost of missing the Heidt's event. So, ad a vote to two days in Lawrenceville.

Putnam is awesome, but the Heidts deal is supposed to be the same weekend and these two events are too close together geographically.
You did a great job with the event this year at Lawrenceville and I am all for doing it there both days. I know it is MUCH more cost effective to have it here as well.
I'm still in for Memorial Day weekend too if that is still an option.

What Chris said. I won't drive past Autobahn to go to Putnam on the same weekend.

2 days at Lawerenceville work for me.....

Are both days at Lawernceville an autocross? If so is it the same course both days?

I am planning to go to Heidt's event and was hoping to leave my Camaro back there to fly back in Memorial day weekend for this event. Depending on the dates, will attend.

Putnam was AWESOME.....but I must say it may not be worth the cost..... And if something else is the same weekend, well I guess 2 miles from you it is!! LOL!

Hey guys, thanks for the time to respond and your input. Sorry I didn't realize when I posted this that the Heidts event was the same weekend. I won't do that to them or us. We are trying to find any other Putnam dates, but I am leaning towards just making it the best we can here at Lawrenceville. Sounds like everyone seems good with this. Plus we should be able to keep the cost down for everyone. I will get details posted soon! Can't wait to see everyone come support the event. Thanks!

Mark, I am of the same opinion as everyone else. Putnam is great (Preferred) but not at the cost of missing an additional event. Thanks for keeping MMC going no matter the location! :smoke:

Please Note: I did not vote due to issue with date.

Same here Mark. I love Putnam, but I'll be at MMC no matter where you have it.

Sorry for the delays. It has been tough making everything happen. The Airport must now approve all events through the D.O.T. Which has been a pain. As we have all decided, Putnam is great, but not fair to stack to events in the same weekend. So the 4th annual MMC will happen both days in Lawrenceville, IL, Memorial Day weekend. Saturday May 25th & Sunday May 26th. We are still working on all the details, but registration should be open on Feb. 10th. Please set this date aside, as we hope to see everyone here to support the event. The event is being brought to you by: Royal Purple, Bowler Performance Transmissions, Phantom-Products & Mothers. Should be a great time. Sounds like the Mayor is going to support some fun around the square again, which any of you that was here for the Day At The Strip, know what I mean.... Please keep an eye out for registration. We will register through www.orangeconeracing.com and details can be found soon at www.midwestmusclecarchallenge.com. Don't forget to like us on Facebook.

Thanks for the patience and the support! See everyone in May!

Cool. You're the man Mark!!

Not sure if I'm going to make this one or not tho. Engine is broke, tranny still not right and got lots of Ridetech parts laying in the floor!! All that and no time to work on it! Much less the desire isn't real strong to work on it right now as well! :-(

Looks like every weekend in May is full with a car event now. I need another job!
Can't wait for the this one for sure!
