Thread updated with Phil Wicks and SCCA events...

 

GREAT LIST! Nice Job!

 

Signed up today for the Audi Club Midwest HPDE. Went last year, too. It was great!

 

Hi All:

Registration is filling fast for MVP Track Time's first two 2009 track events. That can only mean Spring is getting closer!! Putnam Park (near Indy) April 18-19 is nearing full and the June 1st day on Autobahn Country Club's (Joliet, IL) full track is approaching 1/2 full.

Visit us at www.MVPTrackTime.com for details and registration or e-mail Feffman@MVPTrackTime.com. CYA there!

Thanks for the update Mark!

The STL PCA day registration is now open as well. If anyone needs help signing up or getting started, let me know.

 

Any idea when Mini Takes the States 2009 will be held? I have not been able to find any details on it this year. Was hoping to plan in advance.....Any news would be helpful

 

They seem to be on an every 2 year schedule. If that's the case, there will not be a MTTS this year.

Lois
