Fill out the form, then add the item in the redirect to your cart and check-out to complete the registration process.
At this point, ALL Mustangs are welcome. So far, registration has been open for 2 weeks and we've got 17 Camaros and 11 Challengers signed up, but NO MUSTANGS. So unless other Mustang owners sign up, we will open the Mustang spots to other American make and models (the Camaro and Challenger spots WILL sell out at this rate by the end of the month, so any additional Camaro and Challenger participants will be moved to Mustang spots).

Because this coming Monday is going to be fun for once, for a Monday.
Anyway, this is going to be my last email bugging you guys. I hope you are all getting excited about the event. So here are some little tidbits I’d like to offer prior to the event.
For those of you who registered late, you can download the registrant pack here: http://www.bmracing.com/bmracing/AMC...ipant_Pack.pdf
On the day of, you will need to present your completed and signed tech inspection form at registration to receive your car number, badge, lanyard, and wrist-band indicating you are a driver. You will not be allowed into the hot-pits without the wrist-band. If you need a loaner helmet, try and arrive as early as you can since you will need to test fit a few helmet to get the right size. Also garages are first come, first serve. We only have about 40 garages and there’s about 55 drivers signed up (although there are plenty of parking).
Speaking of schedule:
7:15am Registration opens
8:00am MANDATORY Driver’s meeting
9:00am track goes hot.
Camaros will be the first group to go on track, so if you are registered as a Camaro driver and need helmet, please get it done before the 8:00am driver’s meeting. Challenger and Mustang drivers will have a little break between the driver’s meeting and their first session so if you need a helmet you can try them on after the driver’s meeting to ease the back-log. We have about 40 loaner helmets so everyone should be accommodated, but if you do have your own, please bring and use that.
For those of you who’ve never done one of these track events, or have done maybe only a handful, while this is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on, it does require 110% of your concentration. My suggestion is, to leave work, personal life, and ego at the gate. Don’t let anything else distract you while you are on the facilities. Turn off cell-phones, turn on out-of-office auto responders, clear your mind of life’s troubles and you will have the best time(s) of your life at the track. Since we (B&M and Hurst) have our name on the event, we’ve chosen to run it with a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. So if you’re at the facilities, please abide by the rules. No alcoholic drinks will be allowed. Speed limits of 5 miles per hour inside the paddocks and 25 mph on the facility to the infield will be strictly enforced. We’re all here to have a good time, so let’s all cooperate and enjoy each other’s company while we’re here.
Water will be provided through-out the day and we’ll have yummy Hawaiian BBQ catered for lunch. There will be no gas on the facilities unless it’s the kind that passes through your gastro-intestinal tract, but there are pumps just outside the track on Cherry (there’s a Chevron one block north of the track and a Shell two blocks south of the track) so please plan your pitstops accordingly. Also, if you need some coffee to kick start your morning and a nice breakfast, there are quite a few fast food facilities on the way in to the track just north AND south of the track as well. Again, plan accordingly. If you intend to arrive as a group, there’s a Carls Jr. just north of the 10 freeway off of the off-ramp with a sizable parking lot.
Also, let all your friends, family, and co-workers know about the event. Spectatin’ is free. There are a couple of good places to take photos too, and we will have a professional track photographer there to take pictures of y’all on the track. His services come with a nominal fee but they’re of very high quality.
Lastly, if you cannot get your vehicle inspected and the form signed off, I will be at the track this weekend…And will do what I can to inspect what I can see without the aid of a lift. Best time to do so will be between 4:30pm to 5:30pm on Saturday but if you come earlier I will spare every effort to help inspect the car. There’s a BMW CCA event using the Roval on Saturday and Sunday that I will be involved in, it would be a good opportunity to check out the track before actually “checking out” the track.
Let the clock watching begin!

Terrific event. A few more Mustangs signed up toward the end and we ended up with 12 'Stangs to represent.
A ton of chatter on the Camaro forums and Challenger forums:

Working on it as we speak. 
Here's a video of a first timer on track from the Mustang group I found on YouTube. Enjoy.

Okay, I need to KNOW that I can fill at least 20 spots before I can get the go-ahead. Once I can confirm at least 20 Mustangs are interested I can potentially pitch it to the powers that be.
