The Course:

The course is being prepared for us by the staff at Badlands, We've toured the property and given them the layout we want. They will take a bulldozer and smooth and level the course to make it appropriate for our cars.
The course is about 3/4 mile long over a mix of hard packed dirt and gravel with some serious elevation variation. I'm anticipating it to be 90-120 seconds per run, and aiming for at least 10 runs.


Here are some assorted views of the course from other vantage points to give a better idea of the layout:

Please keep an eye on this thread for updates - will likely be updating this a bit over the next month.
AND PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG!!! The more people we can get, the better this will be and the better our chances become of getting to do this again in the future.

Since most people will probably be coming in off of I-74 - here are directions from the highway:

Sorry for the slow reply.... I believe the registration is closed now, but we have a waiting list going should spots open up.
I've actually run (and won) events in my lowered lgt. However this is a new venue and I'm not 100% certain what the course conditions will be like. We're doing what we can to make it as car friendly as possible though. We have several stock wrx's and sti's signed up, for what it's worth.

I see, now we need helmets correct?

yep, helmet required. if you're familiar with SCCA rallycross - it will follow the same general rules.

anyone coming from Chicago area...driving or spectating ?

I'm coming from Chicago, spectating tho but still driving my lgt

yeh, same situation here but I am on the fence ... 5 h drive all together just to watch for an hour or two....shit ..don't know

its 2 hours each way for me, and isnt it from 9-3? And I heard ppl will let you jump in with them if you got a helmet

driving starts at 10.30 Eastern but how long can you watch other people driving ...not to long in my case
