MFBA Road America HPDE Invite, May 4th & 5th 2013



The MFBA Road America Spring Rental dates have been set!



We'll be renting the track out the weekend of May 4th and 5th, 2013.

Full details and registration is available via our website:
MFBA Track Days

All Make and Model Cars are Welcome to come out and Participate in this event!!

We have 4 run groups based on experience that get 4-5 20 min sessions
out on track each day. You will have a LOT of track time! Most people
are exhausted by the end of the day.

Instructors are available free of charge for people who would like
them, and anyone who has not been on Road America will automatically
have an instructor assigned to them.

We also offer a lunch time touring session for those that just want to
get a chance to go out on the track at slower speeds.

Pricing..........................................W eekend..............Single Day
Now till Feb 14th............................$395.............. .......$235
Feb 14th to Apr 13th......................$445.................... ..$255
Apr 13th to day of Event.................$495.....................$27 5
Touring Session........................................... ..............$60
Spectators........................................ ........................$5

Many of you noticed that we pushed last years event pretty hard to
make it a success. We do plan to push this event even harder. We
anticipate that some run groups will fill up early so we strongly
encourage per-registration.

Thanks and we hope to see you in the spring!

- MFBA

So there! Been waiting to see this post for awhile now.

To anyone who has been thinking about getting into track days, this is *THE* group to run with to test the water and see what it's all about. Fantastic group of people.

Haha I've been watching their site over the last few weeks too waiting for the date to show up. I will be there as well. I've mentioned this to a few buddies of mine and gathered some interest, so I might be rolling in with a few more peeps this year . It helps when I show people footage from my GoPro from last year .

We're getting close & the event is near capacity. If your thinking of heading out please inquire via email to midwestfbody@gmail.com about availability.
As of 4/7/13 it does not look like we will be able to take ANY walk up registrations.

I heard that Aaron went nose first into the wall in the Kink. That is a high speed corner so hopefully he is okay.

I'm surprised they run the kink there for trackdays. When I raced motorcycles up there, we didn't use the kink. We took that sharp left just a little before it so we had a straighter shot down the backstraight into Canada corner.
