Location: Waterford Hills sports car racing track, Clarkston, Mi

I am going, and I see that Eric Winn is also registered. If you are close enough to come, give it a shot. I'm not even close (almost 700 miles), but though I'd pay it a visit for something different.
This will be my first visit, but it look like a lot of fun. You can still pre-register today by midnight ($40 for both days all events, but can also register the day of the event for an extra $10.) Free camping on the infield of the track. Mike Mowett says that many people do that and it is great fun and fellowship. Nothing really "ultra" distance here - 1 hour TT is the longest event. Plan to see some of interesting and different bikes.
