Default Grand Bend Raceway open to cars.

Looks like this week is the 1st time there will be open lapping for cars at the new Grand Bend Raceway.
I am looking to go Friday. 9am to 4pm. It's like $113 taxes in.
There's also a Thursday evening session from 5 to dark. I think it's $56 taxes in but I will be working.



Anyone else want to meet up and go?

My best laps on the "modified" course, no traffic.

Anyways. Just thought I'd spread the word.
I know it's not as exciting as "stretch n poke" or "stance".

maybe it's just the vid, but your shifting sounds kind of slow :P Good job on chasing down that caddy regardless!

Sounds like you're really enjoying tracking Mike, wish I had a spare car to track with haha.

I'm shifting it as fast as it will go!
Light weight clutch and flywheel on the way however.
(As well as an additional hp boost)
Maybe that will help.
PS I need to work on my rev matching.
I can do it, but when I'm hustling I just say screw it.
Not enough confidence in it yet.

it looks like the Sept. 1 event at Grand Bend is cancelled due to some paving/construction. Would definitely want to try out this track next year....didn't know they had one out there
