    Im still hoping to organize an August/Sept. WIBIMMERS meet and drive that goes to Road America and either tours the facilities a bit or just get to hang out within the premises at the end of the drive. If you have any dates/info/tips/ideas please chime in!

    Well there is a BMW corral on the bottom of the main straight hill on the outside of turn 14. I've seen some pretty good stuff there over the years. If people are looking to get a little bit of a tour of the track I'd love to show people around. I put together a large Road America guide on the Indy Car subreddit that I can try to find and post here for those who have not been.

    After work I'll post up the schedule for the main events that people might be interested in.

          I've got 3 trackside campsites inside the carousel for the Hawk vintage weekend. I know of at least a handful of bmw friends that will be camping or hanging out there.

                                    It's one of the support races for IMSA this year. Should be pretty interesting.

                                        Still have time to decide but it sounds like a lot of you guys are going to hawk vintage. I think I may too. Unless plans change.

                                          Do you camp with your kids? or does that not go well?

                                          Does the $75 track touring mean you get to go drive the track in your own car? if so, how slowly do they allow you to drive?
