Ken puts on a great event, relaxed atmosphere and lots of fun.
Many from the 10/10ths gang will be there, including some of our instructors

Thanks Bill. It was you and your instructors that gave me the confidence to do the open passing in the advanced group. It's a lot of fun and has worked perfectly.

I also wanted to remind everyone of our latest safety push. 3 ***** Racing will give a $100 refund towards the purchase of a track day if you buy a head and neck restraint this year. Bring your device and receipt dated after February 2011 to the event and I will give you $100 back. The goal of this program is to convince more people to start using head and neck deviced even in the open track/HPDE scene.

Thanks
Ken

I still have a number of spots open for this event next month.

If you have any questions, let me know.

There will be a group of us camping at the track the night before.

I'll be there with my new car. I can't wait.



I may have to sleep in the car if I can't find a way to bring track wheels, tools, plus my tent. Although... the trunk in the Z06 might actually be bigger than the one in the GTO.

Any chance that we can camp inside this year or are we going to be stuck outside the gate like last year? We may have to have Alex promise to leave the fireworks at home (and Jensen to quit talking out of his a$$ when he challenges a certain track monster to a race).

first time for me and my pa at Mid-O; this should be hella fun! Hopefully I'll still have an enclosed trailer (not burned it down at Gingerman) and we'll do the camping thing as well.

I would love to camp inside, but it turns out Mid-Ohio has actual security guards. It's not just the owner's brother. Who knew?

I don't think Jensen will be talking too much smack with his new Civiv race car. (At least not when it comes to a straight line.)

Wish my car was ready and had some miles on it.

Not sure a 2011 with 200 miles on it has had enough time to properly break in the engine, and won't have time to put many miles on it before that date.

Argh!

Was hoping to make all the Mid-Ohio events this year that I could....

I was going until I broke my foot on Friday. "Pissed off" doesn't begin to cover it.

I've never been to Mid Ohio but this first time for me could not be with a better group! Ran with some of you 3 ball guys at Autobahn so combining 10/10ths ought to make for a good time Monday.

Baptism by fire.....what do you care about ....it's under warranty. HPDE is not a race or timed event

If it helps, my '03 Z06 only got 300 miles on it before I started "killing it"......Now it has 3100 miles on it and has probably gone through 25 sets of Hoosiers
