Pardon my noobishness...

If you into road racing you may want to check out SATCAR.

They are running out at Gingerman in a few weeks Oct 18-19.

SATCAR is basically a run-what-you-brung road race league. The cars start based on qualifying times, slowest cars start first, chased by the faster cars. First one across the finish wins. (Sorta like bracket racing at the dragstrip.)

Any car can run- doesn't have a full-tilt race car, just a safe street car.

If you have some experience- you can run in the race.

If you want to get some road course experience, you can run in the practice/lapping group, and have an instructor ride along.

Either way, you get tons of track time. I ran three races with them so far this year- tons of fun. I'll be out at Gingerman.

There are still spots open for Gingerman, so they've waived the late fee.

Gotta love a Pantera getting tracked!!!

I got too much suspension work to do before I can safely track my shit.

sounds like a fun event

I miss ripping Gingerman in my STi.

wow this looks like fun. i'll have to keep it in mind next spring

i'd love to get some more track time this year... and my car should be back on the road soon... hmmm...

None of this is up on the website...

No late fee.

If you bring a friend, they will give the second entry 1/2 off.

They will also take entries at the track.

You can check w/ them at 630-232-6063 if you have any questions.

Seriously consider coming out. You will be happy you did.

I'm wrenchin' like a mad man to get the car ready. I'll be there w/ the big Buick.

Hope to see you there.

SATCAR is out at Gingerman again this year for run what ya brung style road racing or just track time.

Just $200 to race or you can get instruction if you need more experience.

See link for more info:http://www.satcarracing.com/events09.html

If it is like a bracket kind of thing, And anybody can race. Hmmm! It sounds as though you might have a pretty good chance of getting smacked by another driver. Specailly when you have people trying to be first. WMHM seemed more controlled.

I can see where some might have concerns about car to car contact, but it really is safe.

I've raced w/ SATCAR since 2005, no car to car contact ever.

You do have to meet minimum experience rules in order to race.

For those who want more experience they offer instruction.
