Default Cheap track time for my new 'Vette friends!

Hi guys - Quick intro: I'm Greg, I'm a new member here and a rookie C5 owner.

I own the web's largest Nissan forum, and we're hosting the 12th Annual Nissan Convention at Mid-America Motorsports (just outside of Omaha) June 3-6.

Long story short, we're several registrations shy of filling up all our allotted slots. We have the track for two WHOLE days, and for those of you who've been there, you know MAM is a world-class track.

So, since it's my event (and my $$$ paying for the track), I'd like to extend an invitation to you guys to come out and get some cheap track time.

Here's details on the event: 2010 North American Nissan Convention

...and I'll be available to answer questions in this thread.

Hope some of you can make it, it's always a GREAT time!

The track will be hot from 8am to 5pm Friday AND Saturday, drivers' meeting at 7:15am.

Basically, they'll get as much track time as they can stand, at this point.

There's a lot more info on the site, and the registration page is active.

Thanks for your help, D!

Yep, we'll be running the road course all day Saturday as well.

Rallycross is held separate from the road course, so

$125 for BOTH days. Beat that!

Mustang guys are welcome as well. Gotta have SOMEONE to make fun of.

At present, I think we're at 15-20 cars registered, which means a TON of free track space.

Registration can be done online through the website. I'll be be updating the website soon to reflect / clarify the 2-day availability.

Crap, that is the same weekend as Track Attack at Autobahn, or I would be all over it.
I love that track but hate all of the rocks in the paddock, but $125 for 2 days is a great deal.

VERY cool, and much appreciated, D!

Remind them that the hotel info (discounted room rates) are also listed on the page at www.nissanconvention.com.

Looking forward to meeting some Vette guys and soaking up some knowledge on my new ride.

Looks like I'll be rocking a '10 Mustang GT rental at the track. Not my first choice, but you take what you can get, I suppose!

Thanks, William.

Now is as good a time as any to remind you guys that we still have some slots available. You're not gonna find track time this cheap ANYWHERE.

Come on out and have a great time!

Wish I knew about it earlier - I'll be in Omaha the following weekend and it's too late to change my schedule. Good luck and have a blast!

I wish my car was setup for track. I have a friend who lives out that way and I could crash at his house for the weekend.

Guys you're going to be hard pressed to find a better deal for two track days.

You'd fill every event you could schedule at those prices out here in Cali.

Good luck with your event! Wish it wasn't so far away.
