Default Is MAM back?

I received an email yesterday that the MAM track was going to do 2-3 fast Fridays as weather permits...... WOW I'm suprised the track is in any shape to drive on let alone the paddock
I guess time will tell

Yes......the track will be open. Bare bones. Hoping to get folks out for a last 2011 fling, party, donate to the track clean up fund.........

Besides .......BOO BASH is always a hoot.........the hayrack ride is LEGENDARY!!! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will have a couple of good weekends to end the year.

BTW.....the paddock actually looks better!! FLAT.....silt filled in all the holes!! LOL

Gman, I saw your car at DRM's today. Looks to be well taken care of and the car should be insanely fast. Congrats!

I sent them an e-mail quite a while back to see if they were still in operation, but never got a reply. I assumed from that that they were under a few feet of water.

I've got the car torn apart at the moment as I figured the season was over for most tracks. Well, it's not the first time I've been wrong this year.
