That would be an awesome race to witness. Too bad Michigan is soooo far away! You Michigan FLUsters should make it a gathering and support one of our own.

The Ferrari GT4 spun out in front of me in a corner known as 'the fish-hook' - It was an interesting moment as I jumped to the left hand side of the track to avoid him.

Here the results, only one Ferrari beating the Fiat BC Coupe, 2.0l 16V FI - no turbo ! !

I will have to try to catch at least one of the races, Grattan isn't too far from me at all. It would be nice to see a Fiat running there, its a pretty challenging course with some decent vertical variation and off camber areas.
