I haven't seen the openind day for Lapeer yet, but Ubly opening day is April 3

I will go to either of those, Milan is too far to drive to only get one pass in. Last time I was there I got 3 passes in but was there for almost 8 hours.

I definitely like Milan's track better, but everytime i go it seems like it's at least and hour between runs. I went 3 times last year, and same thing each time. I don't think i'll be going back. Lapeer's track is crappier, but at least they know how to bus them through, so you're not waiting all day.

Ive gotten 8 runs in at milan many times and thats with complete cool down periods for the car. You gotta go on friday nights or on the no et days, tnt is too full of cars. fridays not alot of people know that there is a 3 hr test n tune and then they run kos which give u an extra pass at the minimum and you get all of that for the same price as tnt

not really, basically besides the first friday of the month which is heads up night, they have King of Street KOS it starts at 4 and usually runs till about 9 or 10, when we go there on friday nights I work on timing the tree for reactions because they run a pro tree for elims but a standard tree for test and tune. We usually get 3-4 passes in during tnt but thats with us cooling the car down with our fans so that the times are consistant. you could get more. Then if your cars consistent you can get 1 or more runs in during elims.
