I don't see a date; when is this being held?

Also, David Hillman has some video of a few events he'd attended over the last few years up there, if anyone's curious about what it looks like from the cockpit: Motorsport Photography (search for "Shawano" in the page, there's a few videos).

My wife and I might come up with our Evo for this, although it's a bit of a hike from the Chicago area. I've been wanting to attend one of these events at USAIR since the first time I heard about you guys hosting them...I've only ever driven go-karts up there.

How do they handle two-driver cars for these events? (And I'm curious how "corner working" works when there's no cones. ) Do these operate like an autocross, ie. one or two cars on track at once, or more like a time trial, with the whole field on the track? (David's videos showed a lot of cars on the track, but that might have been a lapping day.)

2-Driver cars welcome. There will still be a few cones, and the corner workers are there more for safety if a car spins out and what not. With some elevation change, there are a few blind corners.

All in all, it was a FUN day. The talon performed VERY well, it even put up with a double driver. Good thing i was not beat in my own car though, that sucks when that happens.

In-Car Video and pics will be posted shortly.
