Not positive, but I think you might have to have a class or 2 under your belt to take on the 2.5 mile road track..

If so that's fine. I'd rather go down to MAM where there's a lot more run off in case I turn my car into a lawn mower.

I'm making my reservations at the hotel. I'll be up, my buddy will be driving us in his 2006 Nissan 350Z, black on black, with black wheels.

Just so you know the truck won't be allowed to run any events. This is a strictly sport compact event, as stated by both MAP and BIR.

I'll be there, it's for sure now. I asked off already and will reserve my camping spot here pretty soon. Look for me riding around on the snap on 11-seat golf cart. ;)
