Club MR2 is having one major meet for 2005 (compared to their normal coastal or regional meets). It will be in June 2005 in Topeka Kansas, the center of the US. They have asked Elises to also be there and share in the event.
MOST LIKELY June 10-12.
The benefit for us is that ClubMR2 has reserved Heartland Park Raceway and also has organized a dragrace and autocross that we can piggyback on.
friday night - Meet, checking, Drag Race
Saturday - car show, autoX, fun and games
Sunday - Road Course 2.1 mile
And mixed into that will be contests, prizes, bar-b-que and more.
I will post as soon as the contracts are signed with Heartland Park and we have the weekend nailed down. And don't say it is too far to drive. 1500 miles in an Elise? One day.
It will be interesting to see some Elises on the track with highly modified MR2s. Maybe even an MR2 with Northstar V8 in it? Some turbo Spyders.
Sounds like a great idea to me! It also sounds like a long way to drive (1841 miles for me). However, the roads in Colorado are great and I would love to experience those in the Elise. Maybe swing through Vegas on the way back?
Could be a fun road trip, especially if we organize regional caravans to make the drive more interesting.
Regional cravans are a great idea. Count me in on the recieving end of the said caravans. Also, once we get a weekend nailed down I'll get rolling on planning a BBQ/Pool party sort of an affair.
if anyone is interested in 'extending' their trip to the Midwest, i'm an instructor at the local roadcourse, and can most likely get some people on for some laps.
We usually have the track reserved for a DE event in June, so I'll check to see if it is that weekend, before or after and if so maybe those who want more time on the track can do both.
First thing is: I would love to attend this event in Topeka,Ks, but it is a LOOOOONGGGG drive. Teaming up with other drivers is a good idea.
Secondly: I have to laugh at this Bill Strong project. I'm wondering what will be remaining of the suspension and body parts in his attempt to achieve the projected goal weight?......and an automatic tranny to boot! LOL Ah yes....it's a beautiful world!
My hats off to ya Bill. Sounds like an interesting project. I am a previous MR2 owner....a '93. Best of luck and I hope that I can get to see it one day. Ron

Anyone going to Road Atlanta this year for the Petit LeMans? This will be the last race for the Ford GT race team and the last year of the C7R for Corvette prior to the C8R taking over. I'm heading up on Saturday for the main race.
October 19, 2019. I will be there with my 2012 Evora S, and I know there's a Lotus dealer in Greenville which will, presumable, bring something from Norwich. The roads just north of Greenville are absolutely fantastic. Anyone planning on going?
