Ok i called willow today. i need to do a lot to get this set up. people will need helmuts. no passengers will be allowed. i need to have corner people, emergency people, instructors, flag people and we can set up grub with the caterer at willow springs track.

the bad news is NO WEEKENDS are available til july or august. friday feb 24th is available.

i called simon at evosport and he has reserved days at willow springs. he might be able to get us in on a weekend in feb. he will call me back after reading this thread. so X your fingers that he has a weekend in feb. if not plan for friday feb 24th.

How strict is the mechanical inspection going to be? cause otherwise i'll have to bring the CLK...i'd much rather find out what my SEC can do though.

these guys have the track in feb. they have 2 different days.

http://speedtrialusa.com/index1.html

the price looks to be $140 per car. you get 4 sessions at 20 min each it looks like.

simon never got back to me so i guess evosport is not interested is supporting our desire to have a race day.
