Yes please! I'm in. Anyone else planning to go?

Cloud9blue · 04-28-2015, 08:46 PM

FYI, this is a good event for the Chicago folks. If you plan to go, sign up before May 1st to avoid the late fee.

The Northwood Shelby Club event at Autobahn is only marginally more expensive than that, and you get 6 full sessions

Plus, you get to run the full course on Saturday.
