If you are in the chicagoland/midwest area and you think you got the skills or just want to see what your s197 is like on a real road course on Saturday Aug. 15th, then keep reading:
Why: Cause it's fun...and I need some competition. My class has no other entries yet. I've earned all my wins this season. I don't want to get a trophy just for showing up.
Where: Blackhawk Farms Raceway, South Beloit, IL.
How much:
$145 for non-members of any affiliated clubs participating.
What do you get for that?: At least 3 practice sessions consisting of 4 laps (in a row) from 8:00 to noon. After lunch starts the competition. Standing start, flying finish timed single laps. It's basically autocross, but on a real race track. Even if you are a novice, there are excellent instructors available at no extra cost.
Safety Equipment?: A helmet with a snell rating of 800 (I think), closed toe shoes and a long sleeve shirt. That's it...besides your factory seat belt of course. (I use a motorcycle helmet.)
What about mods and classifications?: Basically it's all "honor based", so I honestly don't care what you've got so long as it's not a supercharger or a turbo.
All v8 s197s EXCEPT GT500s and other "tuner" blower (roush and saleen)cars are in "Class X" My car is classified as "X Prepared" because I've got a intake, headers, exhaust, caster camber plates and an eibach pro-kit. Put it this way: if you've simply got an intake and exhaust alone, then you are no longer "X stock" category and are now bumped up into my class. If you got a blower (even if it was aftermarket) then you are "X Modified."
All in all: It's an absolute blast for what you are paying for. All out track day events cost north of $250. Think of it as a "taste" portion.
And believe me, this shit is more addictive than crack.
There will be alot of cool cars and beer afterwards is free.
