FYI... If you refer a driver to these events you'll be entered into a drawing to win a free Leadfoot track day! There's no limit to the number of drawing entries you can earn, so be sure to tell your buddies to put your name down as the person who referred them.

heellll no that wasn't me in the video. i was trying to figure out what car that was.

i've never ran at SOW (or any other track in CA) so i put myself in the novice group so i can learn the lines without worrying about holding people up.

moneymaker said he thought CCW was more fun but most people run it CW.
all the tracks in michigan were run CW so i figure i can even out my tire wear by running SOW CCW. heh

Looks like excellent weather for both of these track days. The forecast is for an afternoon high of only 91 on Friday and 84 on Monday!

We've still got plenty of room on the grid, too.

Cool, thanks for spreading the word! By the way, it's totally okay to have a passenger.

Last day to sign up online is today until midnight for Friday's track day and Sunday at midnight for Monday's track event. You can also just show up and pay at the track. Both Friday and Monday have all kinds of open slots, so it will practically be an open track if you go. Hope to see some of you there.
