Hey guys there is a new track just outside of Birmingham, AL. It's called Birmingham Raceway. Maybe we should check it out for a date?? If it's new we may be able to get in on the ground floor and get some good pricing??

What's up with all the Porsche weekends at that track? They have 99% of the weekends booked?

Will do! Keep the same weekend? Actually, I'll just see what our options are.

I'll be checking on the Barber track next week while I'm in Birmingham. The reason I chose those dates in September is they don't conflict with NASA events. Craig just get a list of available dates and how much they want to rent the track and I'll do the same!

I could have sworn I posted this but here goes.... Wouldn't it just be easier for everyone to go to Gingerman Raceway? I know it is further but you can meet up with other fellow SCMC members like Dean, Brian, Tom Gentry, Tim and Bonny, and others...

The date is SEptember 20-21, 2003. The same time frame you are wanting to go and not to mention Ken will be bringing his 2000 R there. This will also insure a successful event for the SCMC. Just a thought.....

If I could do only one event that month ( and I don't kow if I can do that yet0 I would definetely go back to Gingerman! That track is awesome! It isn't that much further than birmingham is for me at least. And like tony said, (kinda) it would be much better to have ONE succesful event than 2 less than successful. I would vote for Gingerman. (besides the fact that ken (and karen) would be there too- we have to clementines and the walk to the lake after! and see forrest... )

Starting from: Charlotte, NC
Arriving at: Birmingham, AL
Distance: 391.2 miles Approximate Travel Time: 7 hours 21 mins

Starting from: Charlotte, NC
Arriving at: South Haven, MI
Distance: 884.6 miles Approximate Travel Time: 13 hours 36 mins

If you leave at 6:00 am, you will be there around 7:00 pm that night, it's 6 hours difference each way. If we went to AL, we'd first have to get the track reserved, then hunt people to attend and hope to get 45 people to go when we already know we have about 25 SCMCers that are going to this event. What I like about Gingerman is......NO WALLS!..... just some sand pits. It's a very user friendly track and is not brake intensive like CMP.

I'm going to ask for the day off without pay so I can attend but cannot guarantee it. That would mean two trips to MI for me this year and that's a lot but I'll try. Also, I have a score to settle with a stupid little Contour that goes to this event every year.

What do you think??
