2009 List of area track events Options

[Hornswoggler]

By no means is this a complete list, and can be a work in progress. If you know of more events in the midwest (IL, IN, WI, MI, etc) please post up and I'll work them into the calendar.

Some of these events are more newbie friendly than others. If you are looking to sign up for your first event, I recommend an event with both classroom and in-car instruction for the entire day. Typical price of these events range from $175-300 per day (click on organizer link for event specific pricing, schedule, run groups, etc.). If you do not have a helmet, contact the organizer and see if any are available to borrow/rent or purchase yourself a nice SA2005 helmet. If your helmet starts with an M (motorcycle), it may not be allowed at all tracks/events. Some events are vert and truck friendly while others may not be. When in doubt, inquire with the organizers. You may be required to join a club for some of these events (i.e. NASA, BMWCCA, Audi club, PCA, SCCA, etc)

This list includes high performance drivers education events (HPDE's), open lapping days (limited or no instructors/classroom) and time trials for road courses in the area. Auto-X is outside the scope of this schedule and thread.
