i can find any info on auto cross this summer in the chicago land area can some one help me thanks

 

A bunch will start poppig up on this site when the season gets under way. http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmMain.Show

I like the events that windy city miata club put on, lots of runs for little money. But the courses are always small and twisty.

 

If you're willing to drive a bit, we have quite a few races around the Grand Rapids area. I just posted a bunch of dates in the Sticky thread at the top of this section. Cost is usually about 15 - 20 bucks, and we have loaner helmets available. Atmosphere is very laid back and friendly.

Anyway, check the sticky if you like. I also usually provide camping space for out of towners and turn the events into weekend long bonfire parties.

^ the vids of your autocrosses look mega fun because they are rather big courses. But I think I would get lost!

 

Are you restricting yourself to only autocrosses? I go to Gingerman once a month for their Test n' Tunes. It's only $60 for THREE HOURS OF TRACK TIME!!!

Also, Midwestern Council has a reasonably cheap "High Speed Autocross/ Time Attack" program where you run autocross-style passes on a real road course instead of a parking lot.

Or come hang out with us when we run NASA Midwest events and do a track day!

 

Hey Weed Wacker, could you shoot me a PM when heading for Gingerman? It's close to me, but I've never been there before, although I've wanted to for years. Now that my car is pretty well sorted, I'd love to get down there for some track time....

 

Yeah no problem. I usually try to make their opening weekend just as a heads up. It's like $150 for 7 hours of on track time. Best value known to man!

What kind of notice do you usually like? Maybe I'll start a Gingerman Caravan thread once it gets a little closer to the season?

 

Hit me up too when you're going to Gingerman. I'll head out with you. Finishing up a swap in my MR2 so I can be more competitive.

 

For sure! The more the merrier!

 

yea let me know the date and time ill go for sure u think ill need a roll cage since i have a vert

 

Depends on what the track says since it's a test n' tune. I'll call them once they open and post here what they say.

Great to have so much interest! Now all we need is the darn snow to melt!

 

Maybe we should do a sticky thread at the top of this section for Gingerman dates?

 

I would say see how the first try goes? Too many stickies makes me just skip that list and look at the first normal thread. Not sure if im the exception or the rule... Just my $0.02
