Post Paging all Michigan drag racers and close by!

Milan Dragway!

The Eastern Michigan Camaro club has the track rented this Monday July 29th. Gates open at 6:30pm and we run from 7pm thru 10pm.

Each car running will cost $30 or less (Depending on turnout) and spectators are free.

Last few times we had like 25 or less cars, and there is no wait to run so you can run as many runs as you want. It's a fun time plus great for tuning and testing.

I'm inviting you all you're all Welcome no matter what you drive.

Hope to see you all there!

I'm sure we can get them to prep it. I was spinning off the line last time out but I think it was more of a weight transfer to the rear problem then anything. I'll soon know this time out. New springs and shocks this time around and bigger fuel line with new pump.

Sweet, I will definately try to be there in my 2002 Z28, I usually go on Wednesdays or Fridays and it is always busy there, usually only get 5 runs the whole time they are open on Wednesdays. It also usually costs $20 to race so $30 ain't bad as long as you can get a lot of runs. The track does suck for traction though, I can never get my car to hook up there. Hope to see you guys there!

Question

I know you mentioned that spectators are free, so if I can't get the Z ready to test and tune by Monday, can I just drive up and watch for free or are they charging every CAR that comes in?
