If you really want someplace with a longer drive, let me know. There are a couple of places up this way, one is on the lake. We could take over the deck.

i looked into doing MIS my self this year, but it looks like things have changed.

http://www.michiganinternationalspee...ws/538879.html

it used to be you could come in for 1 day only, now its 2 day only.

"Corvette enthusiasts may reserve their spot in the show for $60, which includes both Saturday and Sunday admission to the show as well as two grandstand tickets for Saturday IndyCar Series practice and qualifying and two grandstand tickets to Sunday’s Firestone Indy 400"

MIS is a great idea that I would engage again. A few years ago we took our Miata with the club on the MIS track. The officials allowed us to go upto 120 without passing. It was a blast. The track felt like it was banked far greater than it apears on TV.
