August race at MidAmerica?

I'm just hoping that I'm through 13 before the green waves. Last time at MAM, we were already at race speed just to keep up with you guys up front. That pace car was moving!

I have to agree... with a 340 mile tow staring me in the face when I pull out of there on Sunday, it would be nice to be able to start before 5 pm just once. We (the IT run group) should have a voice, given the fact we're almost a third of the entry list.
 
if it's going to be as hot next weekend as has been here in KC for oh, i dunno, the last 2 months? i'm out. 114 is not fun for doing anything, especially when our race will be ~330/4pm.
 
All of the long range forecasts are promising - upper 80's on saturday, mid 80's on sunday, 30% chance of rain both days.
 
Travis the weather is going to great,most of the humidity will be gone by Friday and if we can hold off on any rain it will be a great weekend.And I would love to combine the open car groups.Yes for me.Compared to the first two races the turn out for this event looks pretty good.
 
Nice B turnout. What kind of tow is this from Chicago area? If I get my car back together in time, this might be a better event to hit than M-O.

fantastic. it was 114 here yesterday, supposed to be about the same all week, and has been in the 105-120 range for about the past 6 weeks.

mid 80's sounds like winter. except i don't have any rain tires.

Chris - google maps says the track is ~8hrs from Chicago.

Chris, it's very simple for you: go west on I-80, take I-29 south from Omaha / Council Bluffs about 20 minutes. ALLLL interstate for you.

If you do it and want to split the drive a bit and take a break in Des Moines on the way (either direction), let me know....

Travis, the excuse for not working on the paddock will be "too much rain" - that's what we've heard that last couple of years. Of course, after 5" here at my house last night, I might be inclined to believe it. (Never mind the fact that my work managed to get a whole lot of parking lot paving done very recently....)

Shoot. No can do. Family conflict.

Have fun guys. I do want to get out to that one some weekend...
 
Man, We could use one more RINGER VW in ITB.....:D
Next year we could possibly have 3 more VW's in B, 2 novices and one seasoned veteran....

28 for the group, 14 ITA, 7 ITB. looks like one of the VWs dropped out? strong turnout even without a few of the regulars, and weather looks pretty good if it stays dry.

i also suggest that we move group 3 into group 5. that still gives the SM double-dippers a run group in between their race and the IT race, and gets everyone home earlier.
