Going up to Rte 66 next Saturday with a couple of buddies. It's their opening day and should be a lot of cars there if the weather is nice.

Well, the new guy is suppose to bring lunch for everybody, but I guess I can give you a pass. We are going to be there early, by nine or so. PM me next week to make sure the weather isn't going to be an issue and maybe you can meet up with us along the way.
Here is a link to the track.

I'm hoping for good weather! I believe it is $15.00 to get in then $25.00 for a run card($40.00) then you can make as many runs as your car will take.Rte. 66 is a nice track. If you run slower than 11.50 all you need is an approved helmet.

You don't need a helmet unless you run 12.50 or quicker.
