Motor City Marauders - Regional Event
Open Track Sessions at Michigan International Speedway
Saturday, July 3, 2004
Event Hosted by SAAC (Shelby American Automobile Club)
Michigan International Speedway
12626 U.S. 12
Brooklyn, MI 49230
MIS is located in the triangle created by U.S. 12, M-50, & Brooklyn roads.
This event is part of the National meet for the Shelby American Automobile Club. The part of this event that we are looking at participating in is the Open Track Sessions at MIS. The Open Track uses part of the high speed oval, and the infield road course to give us a 2.4 mile course to drive on. This is the real deal....no 15 mph passes here...you drive as fast as your skills, nerve and abilities will allow you! Your car must pass a stringent tech inspection, open track instructional class (30 min), and attend the driver’s meeting (30 min). Your vehicle and experience level will place you in a group that will run together in two open track sessions. I have spoken with Jeff Burgy of SAAC, and he indicated that they would allow all of our Marauders run the track as our own group if we have enough register! Can you picture that....a dozen Marauders tearing up the track at MIS!!!
This sounds like a blast, and is open to ANY Ford powered vehicle. Their website where you will find all the information and entry form is:

Please read all the information and requirements. Print off the registration form, and get it mailed off ASAP so we can get our own group. We are registering our group for the “Saturday AM” session under the MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL OPEN TRACK area on the registration form. The costs break down like this:
Pre-registration..........$25
Open track cost.........$100
1 yr. membership........$47
Grand total for finding your top end on MIS.....$172.
The one year membership is required to participate in the Open Track event, but allows us access to other SAAC shows and events. So far, there are three Motor City Marauders going from Michigan, and are looking for a few more to make this an unforgettable day! This promises to be the most challenging event for the Marauder to date. If you plan on attending and running your Marauder at MIS, please notify me, we are going to prepare Dash Plaques to commemorate this Marauder event! If you want to attend as a spectator, the cost is $25. Contact me if you want to hitch a ride with one of us going, we really would like someone to video tape the runs. This and every other Motor City Marauder Event is open to any and all Marauders.
