I would love to but since I got ripped off by mother nature June 4th I have a bad taste from one day events.
MVP has no control over weather...but typical 2 day events have the option of a 2nd day if one day is washed out. 2 day events will rack up another day's meals and hotel expense but a small cost when compared to a one day scrtached event with hotel, tow fuel, event cost (70+% of 2 day event).
fixed cost for 1 day event @ Autobahn approx. $600, fixed cost for similar 2 day event $800.
a lot of risk for the single day event...once bitten twice shy.

Gary, thus the 1-day event. As you noted, MVP Track Time can't control the weather! We will take our chances on the 1-day full course as opposed to a weekend with the small north or south courses.
Hope you'll join us!

Mark, I really need to take a ride in your car if you have the chance - I have a friend that has been looking at 4 door sport sedans and mentioned the V should be right at the top of the list.

But it's only Gateway where walls bite deep for $300!
I went through the same decision process your buddy is looking into for a 4-door sedan including the Audi S4, Audi RS4, Maserati Coupe (good size back seat) and M3, but kept coming back to the CTS-V. Lot of fun, fast and reliable.

He is looking at the new 335i, which seems to be a pretty good choice. I suggested the S4 or V as options.

Autobahn CC is a facility equal to Gateway but the full course is no comparison. It's more than double the size and a true road course (you actually run clockwise).
You won't regret it...unless it rains...Maybe August has a better chance than June.
