Martin, MI IHRA race

Greg Hill · 06-01-2011, 04:42 PM

Andrew and I are headed up to Martin for the points race this weekend and wondered who all is going.

Jim Kaekel · 06-01-2011, 04:46 PM

I'll be there, my "home track", just under an hour from home.

For those that have never been to Martin, it is an awesome facility. Great track with concrete walls, extra length from water box to starting line (great for driving out of the water), very long shut down area, large pit area with paved roads, top notch grandstands, scales, bathrooms, etc. I feel very fortunate to live so close. One tip: get your trailer closed up before dark or it will be FULL of bugs, including lots of mosquitoes. I made a single run at night there a couple of weeks ago during a test and tune and I hit so many bugs that it looked like I had been driving all night long!

This will be US 131's version of "Calvalcade of Stars" as they will be
hosting their annual Jet show after the Pro Am Saturday night. I hope
it all works out and everyone has a good time. I hope you S/SS racers make some new fans and show some awesome racing. My best friend decided
to get hitched Sat. so I'll be missing this for the first time since the inaugural event. Some best friend! Very laid back and fun race though!
