Ross is good guy and North Suburban SCC has been doing this school for many years now. This is the first time the school is being held at Autobahn.

The price is right and you can get a lot of information about MCSCC Timetrials and Wheel to Wheel racing programs. Timetrials have been called autocross and lately "time attack", but is always 1 car against the clock for one lap with no cones on a road race circuit.

Timetrials are conducted at both north and south courses at Autobahn , Blackhawk Farms and Milwaukee Mile this year. GingerMan has been part of the circuit in the past as well as Grattan.

W2W guys get to run at Road America in addition to the above mentioned tracks.

NSSCC is one of 10 clubs that form Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs.

I think I know the answer to this already, but would this particular "training" event allow convertibles????????

Since the track time is called "touring" and MCSCC is pretty restrictive about touring speeds, my guess is that a convertible would not be a problem. They will probably have mini-vans on the track too. It's worth contacting someone to find out.
