Midwest Season Opener: Autobahn (April 20-22)


#1

We are just a month away from the MW Region Season Opener at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois! There will be an Enduro, Comp school, and great SE30 racing. So far we have 3 cars in, so contingencies will be in play! I will be holding lots of spots in the paddock for all SE30 and E30 racers/TT’ers/DE’ers. Contact me to reserve a spot. Suggestions for extracurricular activites are welcome.

Any GL guys want to come over and play? Looks like we’ll have 4 MW cars there to play with!


#3

We’ve exceeded our pre-season expectations–4 drivers will race next weekend! Good luck to our comp school students–Rob Rhoades and Robert Schmitt! I have two words for you–NO CONTACT.

I think you meant specE30: Midwest Series Opener.

I tried calling team stradale today to sign up but no answer hopefully they want my business enough not to have a deadline.

I’m not going to sleep until the car is done.


#5

You’re probably right. I can’t find any record of two SE30’s making a MW event in the past.

Don’t worry about comp school–I already heard from my little birdies that Stradale has contacted NASA abou you.


#6

Building a SpecE30 now. 2011 dosen’t looking like it is in the cards, but will be in the HPDE and TT events until I can get the Hanns and other safty gear squared away.

Will be out at the gingerman event. Hope to see you guys there.


#7

Great news! Come hang with us in the paddock next week.


#8

I’m pretty sure I recall Team Stradale having on site registration. See you Friday AM! If I ever get the car done.


#9

I entered 2 cars at Autobahn once.

John Van Houten was driving my car and I was shaking down a car I bought. Jack Money drove that car Saturday, I drove it Sunday.


#10

Well, then why don’t both of you come out this weekend to defend your “title”.


#11

Would love to but I’m on a limited schedule and budget and I’ll just being doing Mid Ohio a couple of times and Putnam. I do like the track though.


#12

See you at Putnam. Looks like we should have at least a dozen!


#13

Should be a cracker.

Here is the Autobahn album from the Spec E30 vimeo group for those that haven’t driven it before.
