I received an e-mail from Ian on this and reading above, I can see that we aren't very clear on plans. So, here it is:
- We will LEAVE St Charles area around 4 - 4:30pm and arrive at the Drury Inn & Suites in Blue Springs around 7 - 7:30pm. Can leave before then if you want as I want to get ahead of traffic.
- Hotel website - ONE night Stay only https://www.druryhotels.com/location...y-independence
- We can wait until we get there to eat at a nearby restaurant (Bass Pro has a great place)
- We need to be at the track no later than 7:30, preferably, a little before. Link to the track - https://www.kcrscca.org/our-racing/s...ng-our-venues/
- Complete this flyer and get your money mailed in BEFORE 5/1 - http://www.midamericacobra.org/uploa...nfo_-_2017.pdf (there are details on this flyer for you to read as well)
- You should bring, besides yourselves and your car, a helmet, some water on ice, a chair, an extra can of fuel or two, tire pressure gauge, extra shirts to change into for the ride home, shoes that do NOT have long shoe laces, and driving gloves if you have them. Snacks for energy before they serve lunch.
- I will bring a canopy, but there are typically plenty set up.
Wives are most welcome. Linda I don't think will be coming, but there will be several wives there from MACC. They will provide lunch, or, at least did last year. There is a bathroom facility on site. You will be required to attend the driver's meeting and walk the track prior to getting on it with your car. Last year, there were 4 classes, and each class ran 4 times. Once you were done, you parked your car, then walked out to work the cones/corners. It is a ONE DAY event, but, you will run probably 12 times and will be tired by the end of the day. I think Mike and I left around 4pm and were home by 8pm.
At this time, I know the following people are going:
Me
Keith
Mark
Rick H
Jim D
Dan T
Others, let me know. Any other questions, post them below.
Ok, looks like final count is:
Me
Ian
Keith
Dan
Rick
