If you need a local source for Super blue, I got mine here:
Northstar Motorsports
$15 for the 1 liter can. 1 liter should be enough.

Got an email today. Looks like spots are available.
Spots available.
WMHM is nearly full, there are no beginner spots left whatsoever. Sold out Done. However we have 4 spots available for intermediate and a whopping 8 available in advanced so if you know anyone who would like to run or you haven\'t paid yet there is still a few spots left.

Berner9,
I have several sets of old partially used fronts (mosty Hawk Blue and/or HT-10) for stock front calipers I can bring along.
I've converted my front brakes to Wilwood calipers and have no use for them. They vary in age, condition and I haven't kept them well-marked, but you and anyone else is welcome to them.
Come looking for the black 'Hello Kitty' car parked with a couple of Miatas for the brake pad grab bag. I have no spare rears, sorry.

Well, based on the Redline Time Attack, I'd want to swap something from Pat's car too!
I'll still bring the spare stock fronts for anyone who wants them. First come, first serve. Warning: they're mostly old and 50% or less, but hey if you're in need of spares or out of brakes....
Sorry, no STI parts Berner.

Okay. A little over 2 Weeks until WMHM!!! Since this is the first track day for some of you I thought I'd share my list of things to bring and also write up a little bit of what to expect. A little early I know, but I wanted to get to top of page 6!
What to bring
Bare minimum
do not leave the house without this stuff. You can get away with forgetting everything not on this list
Wallet
Keys
Helmet
Spares
You probably won't need this stuff as a beginner. Plus, I'm bringing these spares and will be able to let you borrow them if you need.
brake pads
brake rotors
brake fluid
oil
For the car
Tire pressure gauge
tools
brake bleeder kit
jack and stands
wd40/pb blaster
camera mount
lap timer
For the trip/camping
cell phone & car charger
camera & charger
video camera & charger
extra memory cards
laptop & charger
power inverter
snacks
drinks
camelback
sunglasses
hat
sunscreen
mosquito repelant
deoderant/body spray
folding chair
tent
umbrella
plastic bin (good in case of rain)
tarp (good in case of rain)
What to expect
Getting there
First - MICHIGAN IS IN EASTERN TIME ZONE. There's always a person or 2 that shows up an hour late. From my last trip to Michigan, I found avoiding the skyway is the way to go if you're coming from/through chicago. Take 94 all the way to michigan then 196. They've been doing construction on 196 for a while now and some on 94 south of chicago. Other than that, should be smooth sailing. 2 - 2.5 hours from Chicago.
At the exit for Gingerman (Phoenix Rd), there is a 24/7 Wal-Mart that should cover all of your last minute needs. There's a McDonald's in there (not 24/7). There's a shell, big boy, and wendy's near there as well. On the other side of the highway is a Autozone, BP, and Arby's (I think). 30 minutes south (on the way from chicago) in Benton Harbor, there's a cheap and clean red roof inn, steak and shake, meijer, applebees, movie theater, and best buy.
There is gas at the track but it's expensive. There's also a large air tank (free) to fill up your tires. There is food at the track as well and it's not bad. But its a very good idea to bring plenty of drinks. You'll be outside all day and it will most likely be really hot. You will want to stay hydrated.
I usually like to park just north(?) of the timing and scoring station. Don't know why. Just the spot I like. If you guys want to stick together, I plan on being there but am open to other spots. I'm leaving Friday after work (5pm) from the city. I can caravan if people want as well.
