Grattan Double Regional (7/23, 7/24)

[wtracing80]

Hi folks,
Registration is now open for the inaugural 2011 WMR / MC Challenge Double Regional to be held at Grattan Raceway on 7/23, 7/24. This is a co-hosted event with Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs (MC). Both of us had poorly attended, money losing events at Grattan last summer so we're combining forces to hold a single event this season. MC licenses and logbooks are good for this event. As usual, there will be an open test day on Friday (7/22).

Since I'm Race Chair and I'm married to the Registrar, make her life easy (and therefore mine as well) and enter early. You can always bring a check to the track (without a late fee) so you don't even have to pay for it now.

If you haven't raced at Grattan before, please come on out and give it a try. It’s a great track with everything you could want in a road course. It's got some very technical bits, a long straight, lots of elevation changes and a wide variety of corners. It's been completely repaved in the last two off seasons and is smoooooth. Lap records will fall.

WMR is known for treating its drivers very well and this event will be no exception. We'll have driver, crew, worker party on Saturday evening. We have a new caterer and their meals were VERY well received at the Cheap Points Double National last month.

Register online at www.wmr-scca.motorsportreg.com. Schedule, race groupings, entry form and the tech sheet can be found there. Please contact me if you have any questions about the event, need help getting registered, etc. I can be reached at frameh at msu dot edu and 517.575.9450 (before 9pm ET please).

Thanks for your time,
Dayle

Grattan is a GREAT track, though I haven't been there in years. I just had my $6000 uninsured trailer stolen, so looks like I won't be going anywhere though

Grattan is a GREAT track and the regoins hosting races there are A+!!! I really miss the May Double Regional there. The Holiday weekend gave the Monday for me to get back home and unload/relax. Did that event for many years. Even got a few others to join me for the weekend...

Good luck with the race! Wish I could make it, but this one doesn't fit into my schedule. I really would love to get back to Grattan to race again!

The way the GLDiv scheduling works, we'll be back to a Memorial Day Double Regional in 2012 since our two year run of Double nationals will be over and we can swap our dates back to their usual schedule (DR in May, Nat in August).

I'm in for this year, but I had to think long and hard to choose between this and the IT-Spectacular.

I will be there but not racing. As a MCSCC member I will be there working F&C. Stop by and say Hi! I'll be in a maroon SVT Contour and camping at the track.
