It's $150 for all the laps you can stand at MidAmerica Motorplex, about 20 miles south of Council Bluffs, Iowa. http://www.midamericamotorplex.com/2006/default.asp

We use it for test n' tune, because we can have ridealongs (so my tuner, Mike, can fiddle with the controllers). Usually there are 40 or so cars, arranged in two or three groups (beginner, intermediate, expert). We've run with only two groups, but that just flat wears you out. I like three groups, because I need 40 minutes between sessions to rest and cool off.

No requirements, other than a helmet, but nobody checks or techs you.

Any DSM driver who has even THOUGHT about HPDEs, hot lapping or road racing, and lives within 250 miles, ought to attend. You can run as hard or as easy as you want, free instructors are available (the experienced guys will ride along with you) and you can catch rides in the fast cars.

Hope to see you there.

I'd be there in a heartbeat if I had the tow...

Sounds like a great deal, too bad this is 500 miles away for me instead of the 300 or so I'm willing to travel for this sort of ting. I doubt my car will be back together that soon anyway.

It's a hike from there, fer sure. You might knock off 75 miles by coming across on 34, but the driving time would be the same. See ya at Autobahn or Road America instead.

Gingerman, Putnam Park, and Blackhawk Farms have been the usual haunts so far. I'd love to do a Autobahn or Road America event, but it hasn't fit in with my budget/schedule yet.

I was hoping I could make this event but I am in a wedding that weekend. I am sure I will meet up with you at some other event at MAM in the future. I really need to get my car down there. Do you know what organization has it reserved for labor day weekend?
