Events at Black Hawk Farms and Gingerman or on this clubs calender.

Racers Against Street Racing (http://www.mcsccpix.homestead.com/streetracers.html )

It looks like solo1 racing. I wish I could find a way to make one of the events.

Black Hawk Farms and Gingerman

What type of Snell rating? I heard the motorcycle snell ratings won't work at MAM.

Steve I got this from another forum, you may want to call the contact person above to get the finer details. As they say, this is an invite. I have not forgetten about my autocross buddies. :dancin: :D

I fixed the link.

Something also to think of is that COM has the drivers school at BIR on the 15th of September. It is not a timed event, but it is the closest event from the TC area.

[Mushashi]

Steve why don't you and Chris join us at MAM this year? :D

[StevenMosley]

I might make it, but I doubt it. So many events so little time, but MR2 deserves to go faster. :)

I really wanted to hit one of the Midwestern Council Autocross events at either Gingerman or Blackhawk farms. It sounds like the perfect event for me. A little open track time and then 4-5 timed standing laps. It seems like the best of autox and track events rolled into one. Ron Schimmelpfenning from Winona is going to the event on the 11th and my brother might join him.

I am looking at 3 events. The MAM one you listed, the BIR one with COM on the 15th, and one of the AARFF events at Dakota this weekend 5th or 6th. I would love to make 2 of them, but will probably not make any of them.

[Mushashi]

In that case, I'll ya out there when I see ya. :( :D

[StevenMosley]

Well hopefully this weekend. :)

The MR2 needs to get on a track where it can strech its legs a little.

[Mushashi]

Alright much better, I'll see ya this weekend. :dancin:
