What we are doing
Each year, AROC Detroit rents out various tracks to let people drive around the track, seeing how fast they and their cars are.  The event is open to anywone who wants to have fun and has a safe car.

We intend this to be a enjoyable day at the track, to stretch your car's legs before winter storage, and to improve your driving skills.  These are NON-COMPETETIVE events, so no times will be taken. 

We plan on giving the absolute maximum driving time, rain or shine, so be ready to go.  Cars will be grouped by performance potential and drivers' experince.
