yep, morgan park (and was going to post that pic). the full circuit is awesome!
anyway, morgan park is around $1000 for a half day, $2k for a full day. now if we get 20 ppl, that's only $100 ea for a full day and i'm sure we'll get pretty well as many laps in as we'd want! and yes, june/july is the time i'm thinking |

Darlington Park at Stapylton has bugger-all in the way of track run off, so if you fark up you go into a tree (and there's lots of them). But then again it doesn't have barriers either... They do Motokhana and skidpan there too I think?
I won't take my car on a track until I do the following anyhow: Eibach lowered springs; Race wheels & slicks; Slotted rotars & phat brake pads; 4.416 diff; Transmission oil cooler; That's not me piking either, it's just that the auto doesn't like to be pushed hard for long periods of time, it has locked in gear twice before when hot!!! The lowering and brake upgrade is just an obvious safety feature. The springs are on the way, so they should get here any month now... Gav. |

well hey i'll be coming up - so unless they red flag it -- i'll be on the track
as to abc blah blah blah i'm a dirty.... (fill in the dots) as to the lack of enthusiasm for a wet track ----- ditto to the above if we have the track for the day i thinks we can afford to time trial - even if we wait till someone else gets half way around the track... anywho thats what officials are for

It WILL need a cooler on it and new oil, but that's not a big $$$ excersize in any case.
I'm not gonna take shortcuts on my precious, stock auto's weren't made for 20 minute track sessions. I'f I'm really lucky I'll have the lower final drive gearing/diff in before the track today to take even more stress off the transmission. If I'm feeling like a big spender I might even go for a 3000rpm stall convertor...? |

i found the handout on darlington park, and they offer half day sprint, track is yours, fully marshalled at all times and there could be instructors on hand is u want help in driving faster also all cars will be scrutineeded before racing to make sure its safe(looks at nate)it also says group number limited so i will give then a ring tomorrow to find out the price and how many ppls.
i know its still open as msi racing(go karts) are still running and ive heard nuting else to say its closed i have a pic of the track and yes there is a lot of trees which my be the downside to this track.
