I think there may be an event going on at MPH this weekend too, so if you don't plan on attending that you are welcome here, or just do both. This is a 2 day event for only $120 which includes certification if you do not already have. One night will have drag racing for $25 on the drag strip with cash payouts and trophies. There will be trophies rewarded for the road course and we will finish up the weekend with a BBQ for everyone. Follow the link below to all the details.

Appreciate the posting , and will see if I can let some of the guys around the area know. Any timing done on the road course, or is this just track time? How many groups do you normally have from Novice through Advanced?

Better date than last year's event, so should be able to get more folks out to play?!
 
this will be timed, as Sunday they are giving out trophies. Not really sure on the group sizes or experience. I am guessing 15-20 in a group and experience will probably be from rookies to experienced. Last year they grouped the experienced people together the best they could.
 
Going to be running NASA TT there at the end of April and hoping it's in decent shape. If it is, I may join you guys on the way home from MPH where we're running 5/22 and 5/23. Would have to bring lots of extra tires to get through four days though :)
 
I am going to be at MPH as well on May 22nd and 23rd and this is right on my way home so the timing works great. Have never driven MAM but would love to check it out.

PS - Just a note , there is an event at MPH, but it is the following week , so no conflict. If you need any information about that event feel free to drop me a PM.

This should be a great time , good to hang with a bunch of Mustang folks from around the Midwest, and no conflicts elsewhere and the price is super reasonable -- pretty hard not to get signed up to play with the Ponies!!!

Bill, actually there is an event at MPH this week that I set up for John (LS110) to get some practice before the Roundup. There are also a bunch of us coming down from Sioux Falls. George was going to let us run Saturday morning too, but might head over to MAM Friday night and hit this event. There are still some spots open on Thursday 5/22 and Friday is open to all as a Speed Friday.

So there are still open spots for the Private Track time Thursday and Friday at MPH? Folks could sign up for that and then run down to MAM for more track time if they wanted on Saturday and Sunday.

Who says you have to move to California to get in alot of track time. Signed up for the weekend and hope to see alot of you down at MAM , and if you want to hit one of my favorite tracks in the Midwest get ahold of Gary ( Cloud 9 ) and get in two courses in the same week!!!

Hope you guys to make it to this event too. Can't really beat the price of $120 for 2 days. I plan on running at the roundup too so looking forward to meeting you guys. I may look into joining you guys on Thursday if there are more spots open, I just haven't decided if I can do that yet.

Still spots open on Thursday so we'd love to have you join up. I'm leaning toward making this event on the weekend but want to see how MAM looks at the NASA TT event end of April before committing.

Thanks for posting this, I was just going to post this myself. Like GB899 said, great deal $120 for 2 days on the track.

Just registered for NASA TT at MAM for next weekend. After that I will know if I'm going to make this one.

You might ask the track to pass out a flyer at the NASA event now that you're opening it up to all makes.
