Join Factory Five, and Regional FFROGs, at these Late Summer events
We’re ending the summer on a whirlwind tour of events as August draws to a close.  The weekend of the August 20-22 gives us a great opportunity to fan out and hook up with some of the Midwest FFROGs.

While one group is heading to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to put in some hot laps, another group is heading a bit further north to join the Michigan FFROGs at the gigantic Woodward Dream Cruise.

 
The Ohio-Indiana Region of the (ever expanding) FFR Challenge Series is hosting a marquis event at the heralded track, and nearly a dozen Spec Racers are expected to meet up for an epic battle on the 2 ¼ mile, 13 turn road course (http://www.midohio.com/sportscarcourse/track/trackmap.asp).  This is one not to be missed as the Factory Five race team of Dave Riha, Jim Schenck and Mark Dougherty, mix it up with the local heroes.
 

In Royal Oak, MI, we’ll meet up with the SE-Michigan FFROGs at the world’s largest single day car event.  Last year’s Woodward Dream Cruise (http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/2004/) drew more than 30,000 cool cars of every make, model and design, and more than 1.5 million spectators.  That sounds like it would be crowded, but this event spreads out over 15 miles of suburban Detroit.

 
 
The FFROG pound will be at USA Transmission, on the east side of Woodward, at Normandy Ave (approx. 13 ½ mile).

At the time this is written, there is still space available for a couple of cars, so contact Todd Baumann, regional FFROG leader, at tbaumann@ACD.net to reserve one for yourself.
