I've never been to MAM. Do you know if there is a gravel road to get there once you're off I-29?

No, it wasn't me. I travel to Omaha (I live in Kansas City) but I haven't been there in several weeks.
I thought they paved that gravel road.
I'm headed to Omaha in a week or 2 and will hop off I-29 and confirm.
BTW, are you guys familiar with ZoNE-Z's of Nebraska. They are the club hosting this.
www.zcarsofnebraska.com
They also have another site- www.midwestzcar.com
Their President Matt/Evil Twin just picked up a Skyline GTR to keep his 300ZX TT company in his garage.

Additional info just posted:
"For those of you that have never ran at MAM before I would suggest trying to be there at 7:30 AM (or at least before 8:00 AM).

I've never fully explained what all that your getting for the $130.....

For the first timers here I have set up instructors to ride with you until Noon until they feel that you are qualified on the track by yourself. So this means that you will not only get an orientation on the track= going over the flags, track rules, Apex locations of the corners, etc. you will also now be a member of MAM. The membership alone is worth $250 just by itself and then you tack on having instructors riding with you and the morning orientation is typically another $180, plus as a member you can run on "Fast Fridays" for $75 a day from Labor Day weekend on.

Average Cost
$250 Membership yearly fees
$180 Track orientation
$75 Fast Fridays after becoming a member

$505 Total .......You pay $130!!!!

To see your smiling faces PRICELESS!!

The track goes hot at 9:00 AM for you first timers but classroom instruction will be at 8:00 AM."

reminder on booking your hotel room:

"Please book your Hotel Rooms immediately they are only being held until the end of this month!!! And finding a Hotel on Labor Day weekend could be very difficult especially next door to another Hotel that is having there opening weekend as a "WATER PARK!!"

(That could always be Plan B for something else to do Laughing )

1-888-391-3913 (Baymont Inn)you can ask for Stephanie Gonzales, but everyone there should be aware of us booking for MWZF 07' "

Go on www.midwestzfest.com for more info.

If you'd rather you can PM me your name, info, etc. and I can follow up to be sure you're showing as registered.
BTW, you can pay when you get there.
