Second new event announcement this week.

[Bill Howell]

I found out about this chance for us to attend a great event today. Looks like a great chance to let your car stretch it's legs on a real road course.
It is two weekends before the Flatlands event so you could make a real trip and do both, which is what I plan to do. The real issue here is we have to have a true commitment of cars to attend before January or the event will not happen. Chime in if you can attend.

Below is the email I got from Jeff.

Anyone that had fun at Gingerman Raceway at the Motor State event, you need to check out this track.

[Van B]

Great news! Glad to hear you got things ironed out Jeff. Anything I can do to help? I would be glad to do some ride alongs as either driver or passenger to get members acclimated. I have a fair number of laps under my belt at RA, and am happy to help any way I can.

[2ndgenhunter]

i'll have to see if I can get the car shook down and running solid by january. If so, I'll see if I can make it happen. Sure would be amazing.

[frankenstang]

Christmas money is getting saved for this event! I am going for sure.

[jeff s]

As i recall it's $15-20 bucks for spectators.
I forgot to mention passengers are allowed to ride along, provided they have the proper helmet and normal seat belts.

[Bow Tie 67]

Sounds good Jeff, I have to make sure I dont blow the car to far apart this winter.

[Ron S]

Wow sounds cool Jeff, Road America is like the Holy Grail of road courses. Sounds like a must do event to me. Lord knows I need the practice, hope my car will be totally dialed in by then.Ron

[Chevrolaine]

Oh Great, just over an hour from home. Must go!

[Van B]

This is going to be fun. I had a great time two years ago beating up on C6s and Vipers, but this will be cooler.

Jeff S., is there any interest from any of the other builders like we were talking about?

[tellyv]

I'm in if I get my car done!

[jeff s]

Here's a pic of my cad coming out of turn 6 and the Ultima coming out of 5

[Bow Tie 67]

Jeff I take it this track is hard on brakes? I'm going to put this on my bucket list. I will be there provided nothing stops me.

[oestek]

Man this one sounds like fun!

[andrewb70]

This event is well run and a load of fun. It's about as much fun as you can have for $500, for two days, without getting naked or having the risk of getting arrested. Here are some links to PHR's coverage of past events.
