^^ Anyone going to that?

 

Sure did great day a little hot, took all day to figure out the track but fun was had by all. 2 1/3 hours track time.

 

Looks like the midwest area events are pretty much wrapping up.

Thanks to everyone who helped keep our list of DE's / Lapping Events / area Club events populated! A big 'howdy' to everyone I met this year for the first time.

 

Dunno if you have a list for 2008 or not, but feel free to use the start I have put together:

By no means is this a complete list, and can be a work in progress. If you know of more events in the midwest (IL, IN, WI, MI, etc) please post up and I'll work them into the calendar.

Some of these events are more newbie friendly than others. If you are looking to sign up for your first event, I suggest you contact the event organizers and discuss. In my past experience, the cheaper events have less instruction and vice versa... moral of the story, if you are a newbie, don't cheap out on your first event. Typical price of these events range from $150-250 per day (click on organizer link for event specific pricing, schedule, run groups, etc.). If you do not have a helmet, contact the organizer and see if any are available to borrow/rent or purchase yourself a nice SA2005 helmet. If your helmet starts with an M (motorcycle), it may not be allowed at all tracks/events (Putnam requires SA, double check before registering). Some events are vert friendly while others may not be. When in doubt, inquire the organizers. You may be required to join a club for some of these events (i.e. NASA, BMWCCA, Audi club, PCA, SCCA, etc)

Auto-X is outside the scope of this schedule and thread. This list includes driving events (HPDE's) and time trials for road courses in the area.
