ZR-1 Track Day at Blackhawk 2011

[LGAFF]

Spoke to blackhawk farms raceway, they are located on the WI/IL boarder and are an SCCA/NASA track. IF we get 40-50 cars we could rent the track for the day for $165-170 per person...includes, insurance, corner workers, ambulance, etc. Track to ourselves.

Turns out the owner has 2 ZR-1s(90, 94) and a new ZR-1....and races a GT-1 vette in SCCA.

Blackhawk Farms is a 1.95 mile, 7 turn private circuit racetrack located in South Beloit, Illinois on 216 acres. The track is on the border between Wisconsin and Illinois, within 90 miles o f 2 major metropolitan areas; Chicago and Milwaukee and minutes from interstate 90.


Byron dragway is only 30/40 minutes away. Could do a Friday at the road course and then sat at Byron.....area has a great countryside, and lodging/entertainment are reasonable.

Just a thought...

Well I thought this group was more than a bunch of waxers

I guess it would depend when it was for a lot of people, myself included. I'd be interested but it's also a fairly long drive for me to get there.

Doing a track day at Mosport in just over a week

I thought the registry is paying for all this?

LOL
Lee,here's what i think about roundy round tracks, pay $200-$300 and try to break/beat the crap out of your car.
With Drag Racing you pay $30 and try to break you car in 10 second increments. :-)

I've decided its best that no one from here participate, sorry but clearly no one here is really worthy of an event of this scale. My apologies.....

I will repost this on the Mustang board.

[LGAFF]

Probably need to move the tech section to the bottom of the forum board....Cleaning/Waxing should be moved to first.

[LGAFF]

Sorry Pete, got your PM but no exceptions......the slots are quickly being filled up, mostly with 4 banger Rustangs from the mid 80s, but they all have the faux 5.0 badge and thats what counts.

[Pete]

LMAO
I'm with you Lee.
I was going to do my part and watch the purses.

I will still do my part and watch the Mustang guys purses.
