Looks like RA is going after the big time. Here's some of the press release:
The RA board of directors and staff recently announced a three-year, five million dollar facility enhancement plan. Road America continuously makes improvements to meet racer and fan expectations. Significant in scope and investment, the new three-year plan will allow for additional track and facility opportunities, and dramatically affect paddock operations.
Expanded in 1990, the main paddock is being enlarged by 3.5 paved acres (I'm told it should be done by June). The increase will provide additional space for race teams, transporters, vendors, and two new skid pad areas. The hill behind the current medical center will be excavated and graded to the west to gain paddock space. A larger medical center will be constructed in a new paddock location that will allow better access for racers, spectators and emergency medical personnel.
Every season, racecars and motorcycles reach new levels of performance. A thorough review by Road America reveals areas where track utility can be altered to meet these levels and provide the best possible safety features. Several track alterations will be made to the track without changing the original track design. Turns 3, 5, 6, 8 and 12 will be resurfaced with a high-wearing asphalt compound to improve wear and maintain the track

So, since this event is less than two weeks away now, who is going. I heard that Jesse, Jack and Phillip are signed up to race.
Some of us MN 3/Sers are thinking about coming to watch. Wanted to see who is going to be there. Chime in.
later,
Curt

Throwout bearing is going to fail any minute and I have two other projects I need to finish in the garage to make room for that car. PLUS I need to haul Brandon's FMIC and 4 extra wheels. Probably be bringing a truck. Before: http://www.ink3s.org/forum/showthread.php?t=421After: http://www.ink3s.org/forum/showthread.p ... 4#post3674SJ wrote: Isn't he ALWAYS on vacation?

I was a bit shocked too.. Paul's/Aaron's supra was much nicer than any fuddy duddy M3 IMO... ah well his tastes I guess. I believe Aaron is bringing the Supra. _________________

Oskar and I talked about it. We are going to wait and see how the weather is. We'll probably make up our minds a few days before the event. So we are still a maybe.
