thanks
change your oil, new oil filter, check your atx fluid, a few bottles of mt dew, rotate tires and check air pressure... (keeping it on the high side of manufacturers recommendations usually yields better highway gas mileage iirc) 20 hours aint bad  leave tuesday, stop somewhere tuesday night get here weds and check in... or get here thurs morning at 7am!

Still not sure if I'll be able to come, I'd really like to but have to wait another month or so to see how the finances look. if I do come though, I am definitely game for a school day at MAM, that woudl be sweet! And $65 for the who deal sounds like a great price to me.
One question though, what's the situation as far as helmets go at MAM? is it bring your own or do they have some for use? and if bring your own, what rating do they need to have?

100 people is optimistic for the track event I think as well. I won't be at the track if it's on Thursday . Prolly just be out Saturday for most of the day and that's it unless something spikes my interest higher for the other days. No drag racing =  and is the only thing I was really missing from the other SZ events I've attended.

Nope, never changed. Only autocrossed the Contour one time, didn't care for it. Torque and accelleration is my thing... always has been. You lippy two liter owner!

Matt, as an example for you, our local mustang club held and event at MAM last year and they were one of the only clubs that actually came out in the green or broke even on the whole deal. They had around 65 cars and that was one of the larger turnouts. 100 is WAAAAAAAY optimistic. You serisouly need to sit down with MAM and just say hey we want to come to an open track night, pay the $50 and go, will you have one tht thursday night?! If they won't commit, don't commit to buying a track day from them because you'll get stuck with the costs and you don't want that. Hell ya I want to run the road course, but I'll have fun no matter what.
