I knew it! I had a feeling it was because of Chevy. I just couldn't understand why PCA was allowed, but now I know.

Now I don't know what to do. I've already bought my Mid-Ohio ticket and hotel room, and I'm looking forward to that one. Not sure how I feel about not being in the track area at Belle Isle, and I doubt my wife would be thrilled with my being gone both weekends. Grrr. I feel like letting the air out of the tires of some big, bloated Camaros.

^-- What he said. Belle Isle is an event hosting a track, Mid-Ohio is a track hosting a race.

It would be poetic justice to have a win by Speedsource in Detroit.

Anyone have a calendar of events for Mid Ohio? I'm not coming up until Saturday AM and I don't want to miss getting some swag.

I'm leaving from work in NW Indiana Thursday at 5:00. I'll be napping at the gate over nite. Anyone doing likewise, look for my black Jeep. It's an 8hr drive.
I'll wave at Banzai Racing as I drive by.

I'm heading down (from the Lansing, MI, area) Friday around 8:00 AM. My hotel is about 30 minutes away from the track. I'll probably check in and then hang out at the track a bit Friday, and then be there nice and early Saturday. Unfortunately, I have to drive back very early Sunday because I have to come in to work at 7:00 AM in Auburn Hills (4 hours away).

I'll be seeing all of you at Mid-Ohio as well. I'm really looking forward to it, we had such a great time last year. We'll be there early Saturday morning. Just look for the Ohio "WANKEL" plates.

By the way, are you allowed to bring your own beer to Mid-Ohio? I'm assuming you can, since I can't find anything prohibiting it in their rules. I bought some really good IPA today while getting water for the trip, and I would love to put a few beers in the cooler for Saturday (and maybe Friday afternoon).

Shaun Young , a person local to me, took Third Place in the B-Spec Race at Mid-Ohio in their first race in his Mazda 2.
Here are some pictures taken from his FB page.



Shawn is on the left. He works for Continental Motors Group.
Continental Mazda of Naperville, IL is a supporter of our local rotary club EvolvChicago.org.

That's cool, Al. I wish I had seen more of that race. I was walking around the paddock when it started, and by the time I got to where I could watch some, it was almost over.
