road course was open to EVERYONE!!!! both saturday for the lapping day, and sunday for the high-speed AutoX. We were really hoping for a much better turnout at both events.

what is it that turned people away from this? the price was great for the opportunity to run on such a nice road course... was it the advertising that didn't get the word out enough? or was it price? or just that there was so much going on?

I wasn't sure what to expect until I got up there and saw it for myself on Sunday. I'll plan on the whole weekend next year.

Maybe MAP should shoot some video next year. A few amateurs have made videos but I think it'd make for better promotional material.

import. sport compact. terms used loosely to most. I'm sure no one at the gates would turn down another paying driver. But i guess a little more advertising then is needed to get more sport compact guys out there huh? I didn't realize the road course was to be SC only as well. makes sense, thanks for clearing that up though. Something to look into for next year though possibly?

we tried to get our usual video guy up there for the weekend, but he had other committments. Hopefully next year, he will have the time! (www.boostedfilms.com)

The price offered was great. You just need to find more imports interested in the road course.

If my Galant had been running I'd have run road course for sure.

I'm sure next year the course will be swamped
