That was the 2000 event. "M5" ended with temps in the low 30's, and everyone was getting personal bests due to the cold air. Lots of broken differentials because the track prep was really good too. I remember loading up the car with all my gear, and pulling up to the starting line one last time for the heck of it - probably one of the last ones down the strip. I pulled within .01 of my personal best, (14.04 @ 101 MPH at the time with the Feeble305) even loaded with toolboxes, cameras and chairs. Then, when I pulled up into the pits one last time, the back-half of the track disappeared in a cloud of white snow. We wrapped it up and went off to the little bar/restaurant in Ionia, just north of town and had a great time.

Well, perhaps you should mention it again. It looks like there's some support for it now!

I don't know what I could do to help, but just let us know what you need and I'm sure someone here can do it.

Re: Bring back the "M" event!

I'd do what I could to help. Maybye I'll start posting around and see if there's any interest elsewhere too?

6 people isnt support

Not even sure I could make this happen. How would I even reach all the people to let them know about it now? Boards are dead.
