I'm part of the Salt Creek Sports Car Club. 9 clubs make up the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs. Being in an MC affiliated club lets you attend any MC event.

http://www.mcscc.org/

its not terribly priced to do one of these events, but as far as track time per hour per dollar, do a lapping day/open track/driving school. you'll get WAY more track time.

I did a total of ten laps at this event. At a driving school/open track event (eg., svtoa at autobahn country club in joliet next weekend) you can expect at least 5 twenty-minute on-track sessions with an instructor. :pepper: so use that svtoa membership. svt cobra club also does road course events. http://www.scmc.org/

If you have a weekday available, see the thread in the open track section regarding the autobahn country club event by performance driving experience http://www.performancedrivingexperience.com/. they'll set you up with an instructor and weekday events mean tons of track time.

two easy things will make a person a better driver - coaching and experience. good instrcuctors and track time go a long way.

to answer your question regarding which car clubs i'm with,
SAAC - shelby-american automobile club (cobra roadsters, shelby mustangs, gt40, et cetera. totally road racing oriented group)
SCMC - svt mustang cobra club. less known than svtoa, but growing
SVTOA - membership came with the car, but they turned out to be way cool. jeff lacina's group of instructors are top notch.
Salt Creek Sports Car Club - my local Midwestern Council affiliate club.
Bonneville Nationals Inc/Southern California Timing Ass'n - I hope to hit the salt flats someday.

Great, thanks for the info!! I've been wanting to do a track day for sometime now, just never knew where to look. I'll definately look up some of those clubs and I live in Illinios so the autobahn track would be right up my alley. Thanks again!!

GingerMan Raceway is just across the indiana/michigan border, and both svtoa and svt cobra club will run there this year. if you missed getting a slot for track time at autobahn, try for one of the gingerman events.

come to the autobahn to see how an svtoa on-track event is run. if it looks fun, sign up for svtoa at gingerman :D
