Default Volunteer/Free Track Time in Midwest

I posted this in the RR/AX forum. Heads up to fellow ITR owners in the Midwest who might be interested:

Why didn't they have that when I was in school??
It really is a good deal, just like how some people instruct in exchange for free track time.

Last year at Putnam, my car broke down the very first thing on Saturday morning. Instead of going home and wasted the whole trip, I worked the grid.

Got a free day at Autobahn several weeks later.

Which HC would you FL guys be running? SEHC or ECHC?
Seems like a long tow regardless of where you go.

Thanks Tait.

You should come to more NASA events, it would be free for you anyway since you instruct.

Honestly, I didn't even know there were different breakdowns. The reason for asking was I would like to meet a few local HC people to see what its like and if there are a few people who compete in this division I was contemplating building the ITR as a dedicated track car.

I guess I got some more research to do.
