Re: Track Night Concept

At least one of our tracks out here in Michigan has been doing this on their own for years. If you're close enough to the track to make it there after work and then get back home, it's a great deal. GingerMan Raceway is about 3 hours from my house so it's a bit far for a few hours of open track duri...

Calabogie Open Track Days with 3BallsRacing (May 9-10, 2015)

Hey guys, I didn't see Calabogie on the COM schedule so I wanted to let you know that we (3BallsRacing) have booked the track for May 9-10th. If you don't know who we are, we're an open track group similar to COM operating out of the Detroit area. Several ex-COMers including myself are instructors. ...

Re: NE-SVT at Calabogie August 17, 2013

Thanks for the kind words. NE-SVT has been to Calabogie twice before. We paired up with 3 Balls Racing for those. Good group of guys....fast drivers with good equipment and track etiquette to match. We had been trying to get back there with those guys since, but that track is kind of a stretch for ...

Watkins Glen vintage GP + COM = a great long weekend

Hmmm.... I was just looking at the 2013 schedule for Watkins Glen.

US Vintage Grand Prix - Sept 6-8
COM - Sept 9-10

Sounds like a great way to make a long weekend in the Finger Lakes region to me. Anyone else?

Please "like" my photo and help me win a trip to Bondurant R

Just go to this link and hit "Like". Whoever has the most "likes" on Oct 25th wins a trip to the Bondurant 3-day Race School in Arizona courtesy of Performance Friction. I bought the car back in April and did two days and Grattan and two at MidOhio this year. This past weekend I ...

Calabogie - Oct 4&5 - 3BallsRacing

I run/instruct with this club out here in Michigan. They have hooked up with another group to secure one run group just for 3Balls members. (If you only have two (or none at all) you're still invited to join.) We're a small club but focused on safety and fun. I know that COMers would fit in well. Th...

I tried to go up this morning but got pulled over and my car got towed. Sweet. Trying again this afternoon.

I was real lucky, I have never lost a trailer before. The only thing I can think of that caused the pin to come out was that maybe the saftey chains caught the clip and pulled it out when I did a sharp corner. I am switching to a locking pin :!: Imagine if that hitch fell out at 65 mph on the highw...

That's fine but here's other suggestions: How about a massive PIZZA delivery? Sure there's got to be a Domino's in the area. Either that or we pitch in and do a BBQ. We have pizza delivered to a couple of different tracks out here in Michigan. The club even pays for the pizza as part of the registr...
