Default M7, Michigan event. Anyone going? Great times.

You will run your best times. I know I have. The track is at Stanton Mich, and alot of the Michigan guys will be going, how about the Illinois and Indiana guys? GM sponsored event, they brought out concept cars last year, including the #1 Z06 Camaro. This was before it was anounced as production. It was sweet. Hope to see some of you there. PSJ, if you want your 10, here is the place. The track flat out hooks!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

PSJ, you cant get any of the Chicago guys to come to this event? You could finally get your 10 sec run!! Great track, and alot of the CZ28 guys will be there. I'm looking forward to some PB again this year.

Anyone else going... WTF?

Probably not that many people know enough about it outside Michigan. I know I'm pumped as hell to be going. Just with the temperature drop and some practice I found another .3 seconds off my time! I just about crapped when I saw that slip. Also rolled the car off the trailer and ran two back to back personal bests. In fact every time I had except one was better than my previous best! I was happier then hell and the track absolutely hooked hard! And it was a test n tune night to top it off.

Hopefully some of you guys can make it up here. Should be an awesome time. There is open time trails the night before for Midnight Madness (7pm to 12am), M7 during the day Saturday and a Street Tire Shootout after M7. If you want to get sick of racing, next weekend is the one for you!

I am trying to get down for it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Need to find out about hotel information. New clutch and loop etc getting installed on Wed. Hoping the HD DS can be done in time.
Cheers,
Chris

I'm planning on heading over for sure. Not sure if I'll make it Fri, but Sat absolutely - DTC's be damned.(Striving to have the Hooker LT install done by then, but may not have the rear O2 simms).

Looking for that mystical 12 <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" /> (if I can get out of the hole)

As far as hotels go there really aren't any close to the track. Closest area is Ionia (about 30 miles). You can goto this link for the hotel info: http://www.migmevent.com/m7/hotelinfo.shtml. There are also a ton of hotels in the Grand Rapids area. If you need more info than that let me know and I will help you figure out something.

I'll be there if the weather AND air is good as I only have a couple more "get out of jail free" cards left this year. I will be out a Stanton for at least one more Wed. or Sun. test & tune.

FASTRA4-Last time i did the event was the M5 and then it was set up like this -13.00 and slower in 1 class and the 12.99 and quicker in another. Then they ran for quick E.T. A friend took 2nd in the 12.99 and quicker class and i think 1st in the quick E.T class. I could be mistaken or flat out wrong about the class set up,but thats what i remember. Hopefully this time i won't take my self out with another red light. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> That's a mighty fine bolt on car your runnin there. better than my times on spray,I'm impressed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> Hope this info helps ya.

Midnight Madness is going on friday ,however you should know that it is usually VERY busy. I went to the last 1 and ran a grand total of 3 runs from 7-12 . Not knocking the track/or event but, want you to know, Midnight Madness is usually packed. Knowing is half the battle,right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Default Re: M7, Michigan event. Anyone going? Great times.

well, according to www.wunderground.com it's supposed to rain all day & night near the track. I won't be making it to the track tonight, but hope to meet some of you guys tomorrow!

Anyone know about how long it takes to get from Saginaw to the track? I have cousins from there who are coming out to watch the races.

Thanks!
Priscilla
