Michael, double last weekend at the Farm. A couple SM cars turned low 22's, record is a high 21. 55* and blue sky, didn't check the humidity.

 

Side note:

The legal AIT on my 1.6 last Sunday was 80*.

 

JR, Blackhawk Farms is 2 miles and would be IMHJ,  a drivers hustle track. Bring it over JR, a few years ago Shawn had a very competitive win racing RIP Harry, Coello and a third fast dude whose name I've lost track of.

Michael, Chief Blackhawk, not so sure. The rock river starts in Watertown, WI travels way down deep into IL and the Chief Blackhawk name is attached to many places along the way.

 

Johnny, Farms, from here, blackhawkfarms.com. Hey, while there check out the track record holder for Spec7/SRX7.

 

Now back to the chief, the Blackhawk Farms logo is a hawk. Presumably the large winged birds flying in the area are Black Hawks. Farms, maybe the acreage was a farm pre track days. Stanley cup dude, how about them there BUCKS? The rope is still very tight. Being your from the fair state of IL  you have any Farm history notes?

 

Frank, don't believe a thing Down Town Tommy Brown tells you about last weekend at the Farm.

EDIT: Bring the best brakes you have.

Bench---  Not sure if Voytek is coming out for the weekend in SM, but he is at least in T4. I will have our new T4 car and it appears we have at least 4 more MX5 T4's also. 

Looking forward to SM too -----Should be some good racing with a good turnout.

The old benchmark, 1:23 flat, was good for 14th on the grid.

Has the track been resurfaced or improved in the past five years, or are the Hoosiers a lot better there than the Toyos, or is it just that faster cars and drivers are showing up?
