Since we had so much fun at SoW, I thought I'd post on this upcoming event at WSIR. I just talked to Joel at Extreme Speed, and he had this to say:

Event is on March 8th, 2014 (it's the track above SoW in the base of the hills)
Discounted to $75 for the day (coupon vouchers are okay for this event too)
includes lunch for the driver
includes use of a timing transponder (just like SoW)

Track overview:

Link to registration:

*I don't think coupon users will show up as registered users, so a few of us won't be on the tally that's listed online in real-time.

At 1 mile around, this is a very tight track and much smaller than even SoW. Joel says he thinks of this as more of a canyon run. It typically favors lighter, low HP cars (but all cars are welcome).

Who's in? My calendar is free right now and I'm planning to go!

Time travel to go with your cloaking device?

Bring it to Big Willow on Saturday?

It isn't a sponge by any chance?

I'm afraid to guess what that means!

You would have had to been there.
Oh, that's right you were,

Anyway I thought he did bring his secrete weapon.
Wasn't it that protective film he had all over his car?

My Jeep maintains such a protective film all the time! It protects, but adds drag!

Kind of a side note... I'm trying to find pictures of my Grandfather specifically (these are of a friend of his during the same time) but track racing is in my DNA... he did Formula Vee racing back in the day (Formula Vee was a popular lower-cost alternative to Formula Ford or Formula BMW, using 1600cc VW engines):

There was a huge field of Formula Vees at Road America last weekend, loads of fun to watch. A friend of ours 2nd to last race car was a LeGrand Super Vee, scary fast car. Moved out of that and into a 240Z before retiring from driving several years ago.
