This has been discussed elsewhere but I decided to start an "official" Midwest Z Fest 2010 thread. A few details still need to be hammered out but here is what's been nailed down so far.

*Friday, September 3. Track day at Mid America Motorplex (MAM) just south of Omaha. This approximately 2 mile road course will tell you a lot about how well you and your car can perform. This course is flat with a LOT of run off room just in case you need it. Wink Watch the video under Track Day on the link below. It gives you a great view of the track. Here's the best part..The fee is only $100!! That's a great deal!!!

*Friday night, September 3. Drag night right next door to the road course. Fee is only $10.

*Saturday, September 4. Car show at Carter Lake. This is located just north of downtown Omaha. This should be a GREAT location and provide a lot of photo opportunities.

*Sunday, September 5. Cruise the scenic Loess Hills Bi-Way. This is a great drive on some great roads.

*Monday, September 6. Drag your tired bodies home.

The final details on the hotel and registration need to be ironed out and will be announced soon. I will post updates here or you can go to

I've got it on my calendar and I hope you do too.

I plan on going to this. Been looking forward to it for months. Even my wife and kids are coming.

I have a helmet, but we probably can't share.

I refer you to Mid America Motorplex for answers re. helmets, fire extinguishers, etc. The safety requirements for the track and the drag strip are different. Some drag strips don't require a helmet unless your car runs under a certain ET.
I don't remember if they have helmets for rent or not.

Same here. I was going to have someone babysit my kids on Saturday night during the banquet so Tara could be with me, but someone wouldn't answer their phone.

So you'd rather watch the action than be in it? Pfft! You know they have TV's in Omaha and at least one person will be watching those races there.

Doesn't sound like a lot of people are going from the Twin Cities. Most of the Z guys have plans.

I'm getting ready to pay for the track day.

Just a heads up!! I just got word the hotel has extended the registration deadline to midnight, Tuesday, August 24 to receive the special Midwest Z Fest rate. Rooms may be available after that date but at a much higher rate-I'm guessing at least $20 a night more!!

Make that reservation now!!! More info at www.midwestzfest.com .

A big THANK YOU to those of you who made it! I'm pretty sure you had a blast but I'll wait to hear it from you.

Personally, I'm still grinning from the track day! It may take a while for that to fade.

Midwest Z Fest was a BIG success! The Nebraska club did a great job with this.
