This Event is noncompetitive and will be run under controlled conditions, but will be fun and a learning experience for all who attend. The rules will be adhered to by all with no exceptions to them:
Looks like a nice lapping day. Wish I could attend.

MFBA runs two great track days at Road America annually. Safe, a lot of fun and not too ****.

I've attended the MFBA event at Road America 3 times. They run a FANTASTIC event. Bring friends as ride-alongs are allowed. The last two times I went I came with two friends, we double-dutied the car and had 2 people in it every time it went out.

For your F-Body I'd suggest you get good fresh brake fluid (Motul 600 or better), performance brake pads for the fronts (with performance pads on the back too and you are very likely to have wheel hop under braking), and brake ducts.

Here's how I did mine. http://home.earthlink.net/~hp18racer/SS/SS.html

A friend of mine did his with the intakes as holes he drilled in the air dam. It was easier to do that way.
