I would really like to go, but I'll be down in KC that weekend for a wedding, ugh.

Hmm, the open tracking sounds like fun.
I see no mention of that, or are you talking about Friday? I was thinking road course or something.

No love for people who enjoy turning the wheel. :(

^Don't hate.

Do you guys think the parking lot to the right in this pic would be large enough to Auto-X? We might be able to arrange that for those that like to turn ;)

An autocross course would be awesome! Have they ever done one before?

[v8klla]

Just got off the phone with them and yes they have, we can definitely split time on this area for Auto-X and drifting, does that entice anyone else to come out?

I'll come out and watch.

I was planning on coming regardless, but now I'll definitely compete in the festivities :)

Measurements would be helpful. I'll look at what Google Maps has to offer for aerial images and see how it looks. I wouldn't want to jeopardize safety if the area simply isn't big enough.

BIR thinks its about 200ft wide and apparently they have run some AutoX there before :)
