4th Annual Midwest Musclecar Challenge 2013 Update
Well guys, I hate to do this.. Our lovely government (FAA) has stepped in and decided that due to shutting the ruways that they must charge for a daily fee. I went to the airport board meeting on 04/09/13 to try and plead our case and fight it, but they are too greedy. They want to charge way too much, in fact enough that we could rent a road course. So I have had to make the official decison to elminate the road course and speed stop challenge. The Midwest Muclecar Challenge will consist of two days of autocross. The long challenging course is always a blast, you will have plenty of runs that will wear you and possibly your car out.. Anyone who has already signed up and would like a refund due to the change this late will be supported. This is a tough deal, we do our best to keep this event going and thought we had everything going so smooth, and then the FAA decided to get greedy. Anyone who has been here knows as well as I do, there is no way that they are loosing any money with us shutting down one of the two runways. If there is 2-3 planes a day I would be surprised. But that is our goverment, always have their hands out for money from the little guys.... Oh well as long as everyone doesn't cancel we will push on and make this the best that we can and ensure we put an event on that will put a smile on eveyones face! Thanks for everyone that helps us keep this event alive and for all of the support.

Its time to get your hotrod out and head to the Mid-American Air Center for the 4th Annual Midwest Musclecar Challenge. This is the longest running and best driving event in the Midwest. We put this event together for the participants, with as much track time as you can handle, autocross instructional by great drivers, cool gifts, chance to win unique custom made trophies, a chance to show your skills to win cash, good food and great people, better yet it's all for a good cause, as we donate proceeds to the Lawrence County United Cancer Society Wig Bank. This year we are going to have two full days of autocross fun. Open to any domestic model year vehicle. The event will be run on May 25th & 26th at the Mid-American Air Center, located in Lawrenceville, Illinois.
This event is a BFGoodrich Team T/A contingency series! The high horsepower fun will begin on Saturday with the Forgeline Wheels Challenge autocross. The Orange Cone Racing autocross will be held on Sunday. Test your suspension and push your tires to the ragged edge on the never boring and always pleasing long distance autocross courses. The SCCA never disappoints at the Mid-American Air Center when setting up a one-of-a-kind course that will thrill both the drivers and spectators and push the entries to the edge of performance. Each day will be a unique and difference course. We are going to be having a contest this year called Are you Faster Than Paul Paul Dornburg from the SCCA will be having a contest to see if anyone is faster than him on the autocross! Chance to win cash, if you think you are faster than Paul. Details will be given at the event.
The SCCA will be giving free instructions from 9 -11 each day to those who would like to learn more about handling an autocross course (times will not be recorded while with an instructor). We will have food available as always and the event should be fun for everyone, even if you're just coming out to spectate. After all of the fun on the course, we will load up and take a small cruise to a spot to relax and share stories.
Registration is open and will be limited to the first 60 entries. Entry fee is $150 beforeApril 30th and will be $175 the day of the event.
