2 Day RX7 Meet/Autocross Event in Michigan

Kentetsu · 03-24-2009, 09:21 AM

Alright guys, lets see if we can do this the right way.

We've got a two day autocross event on May 16/17 this spring, so lets combine this with a meet and have a good time. This event is perfect for those of you who have always wanted to check out autocross and get your feet wet. The sponsors of this event http://furrin.org/ always put on a good show, and the atmosphere is laid back and aimed at being a fun time.

We can work out overnight accomodations based on how many people will be coming from out of town. If only a few, then I've got a 1 acre back yard we can use for camping. If the response is better than that, then I'll investigate camping in the area of the race. This event is about 15 minutes from my house.

Below are the event details. If you can make it, post up and let me know. Please specify if you will be looking for a place to crash (er, I mean stay overnight).

The Furrin Group has verified two of our premier autocross events of
the 2009 season. On May 16 & 17, we will open our season at West
Michigan Auto Auction in Moline. These will be two separate events.
On the 17th, we will be coordinating the event with the Ford Contour/SVT
club event. Cost for Saturday is $15 FG member, $20 non-member. Cost
for Sunday is $15 FG or Ford Contour/SVT member, $20 non-member. If
you run both days, there will be a $5 discount for the second day. Each
day will offer the $10 Vintage class; any vehicle older than 1980.

This event should be open for pre-registration within a few days at www.myautoevents.com We usually fill up, so I would recommend registering as early as possible. The only thing you need besides a car that will pass tech inspection (decent tires, battery secured, ball joints and brakes in good shape) is a helmet. And they do have loaner helmets available, so if you don't have one don't let that stop you.

However, registration will not actually open for a few more days. Make sure you do register (you don't pay until you arrive) because this is a very popular event and will fill up quickly. I will post again when I see that registration has opened.

So far we have a total of 20 cars registered. Of those, 5 are RX7s which translates into 25% of the field.

This event is only open to 80 cars, and we are up to 54 as of today. Hurry!!
