May 2015

  

Come race with us and drink some milk in Victory Lane, just like that other Memorial Day race except about a million dollars cheaper! Madison Sports Car Club offers a Legen-Dairy weekend, repeating the popular format from last year. And yes, we're having competition-grade pulled pork with all the trimmin's again Saturday night! Also continuing this year for Autocross: enter any car in a second run class for just $60! You can try out a friend's car or double your track time for half price.

Then, just two weeks later, NSSCC keeps the fun going with their

Blackhawk Formula Festival
June 6 & 7 Blackhawk Farms Raceway
  • Saturday will start with a half day HPDE. This format gives the ultimate in flexibility as it provides track time for HSAX entrants to practice, a chance for new drivers to experience what it is like to be on track, and a possibility for track time for comp drivers.
  • Saturday afternoon will feature clock-smoking High Speed Autocross Competition.
  • The Formula Feature Race will be a standing start 30 minute sprint that will take place at the end of Saturday's activities. This is a bonus race for any Small Formula or Big Formula group competitor registered for Sunday's races.
  • A cookout in the paddock will follow the conclusion of the day's on-track activities.
  • Full schedule of wheel to wheel racing action on Sunday.
  • Free donuts, lunch, camping, and gas card raffles for staff.
  • Track touring during lunch both days (weather permitting).
  • Registration for all events will open soon on myautoevents.com

In a special tribute, NSSCC will remember one of its longtime members that passed last year-Bob Wismer. He will be honored with the missing man pace lap in his groups.  Bob was a loyal, dedicated member of the club for many years and was a successful competitor in both Vintage/Historic and S2000. He was a kind, welcoming ambassador for the sport and is greatly missed in paddocks all over the country this year. We miss you Bob!

The weekends of all the events are firm, but calendar dates shown in italic are very tentative.
