Road America Camping for 2009

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Based on the Camping poll as well as the fact that hotel rooms are limited in the area that weekend due to another event in Sheboygan, we will be offering camping at this years event. The cost for camping that we have been given by Road America is:

$35 for the weekend for a tent or tent camper
$50 for the weekend for a camping trailer (includes pop-out tent campers and includes using an enclosed car trailer to camp in), RV, Totor Home
$20 for the weekend for power hookup

The weekend is considered Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for our event. There is no cost per person to camp. Thus if you have a camping trailer and you have 4 people staying in it, it is still just $50 for the weekend.

There will be no preregistering for camping. If you wish to camp at the event there will be a sign up at registration at the track. The camping fees are charged by Road America and not by the Northwoods club.

More information and details on camping will be updated in the coming weeks.

Blackhawk Farms Raceway – Event Updates

Friday, March 7th, 2008

If you are attending the Blackhawk Farms event please read on for updated information.

To see the event itinerary please go to the Blackhawk event page and click on the 2008 Schedule of events link.

To enter the track at Blackhawk it is required that a gate be opened up so you can cross the track to get into the infield. Thus, please take note that with the track going green at 9:00am the gate will be closed at 8:50. To keep things moving during the day, we will limit the times when the gate will be opened as this will take time to do. It is planned that we will not open the gate until after group 4 exits the track. Thus per the itinerary we will open it approximately at 10:35. Then again at 12:15 and so on. So please plan accordingly.

Due to having 76 cars registered for the event (out of 80 total allowed) we are not going to take on site registrations.

If you are registered please check out your registration on-line in your My Account. Please check your registration status.

If it is Complete you are all set and just need to check in at registration and go to tech. If you have a status of Paid, that means you are paid but have not sent in your liability and medical forms. If you are in status Submitted that means you are not paid and we have not received the liability and medical forms. So if you are status submitted or paid, you need to print, fill out, and sign the liability and medical forms and bring them to registration with you. You cannot proceed to tech without submitting these forms.

All drivers need to also bring your completed tech form to the track as it will be required when you get to tech.

Passengers are also required to print, fill out, and sign the liability and medical forms before you will be allowed to be a passenger in the car.

So to move registration and tech as fast as possible, please have all the proper forms ready when you get to the track.

Also note we have updated the event page with driving instructions from Milwaukee. It can be used to get you to the track from the highway.

If you have any questions please let me know.

See you Friday.
