It's that time again!!
The 7th Annual Spring Lapeer Dragway Day is on Saturday May 19th at Lapeer Dragway.
As before, it follows Gingerman track event on Thursday May 17th. See the separate notice for the TCCA Gingerman Track Day that has been posted for the Gingerman event:

For general information, here are the links for the two tracks involved

Saturdays at Lapeer Dragway are Test-N-Tune, and for $25 you can get a LOT of runs in. Please note that a helmet is required for all cars running. Any helmet will do, and
they also rent helmets at the track for $5. The track opens at Noon, and is open until 5-6 PM or so (depends on crowds, it seems!).
As many of you already know:
Auburn Hills, Michigan as of December 30, 2006, the Auburn Hills location of Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse is closed.
We suspect that another restaurant/bar will eventually move into that location, but nothing has happened there yet. Until it does, we will need to move to other accommodations.
In the interest of having a bar within walking distance of a hotel, we will move up the road to the Best Western Palace Inn with the Wooden Eagle restaurant/bar in the parking lot. Some of you are familiar with the Wooden Eagle, as we have had our Saturday evening post-track dinners there for the last couple of years. We can again use the Wooden Eagle for Saturday’s dinner, but Ryan Dudek & I also found another suitable venue a couple of miles up the road.
I have arranged for a discounted rate of $79.95 for the days of Friday May 18th through Sunday May 20th. Please call the hotel directly, and mention the SHO Club” rate. If there are any issues getting the rate, ask for Barbara, Phil, or Jessica. There is NOT a block of rooms reserved, so if you think you will attend, make a reservation, and you can always cancel later. The hotel info is:
Best Western Palace Inn
2755 Lapeer Rd.
Lake Orion, MI 48362
