... Why no old Mopars at this track? ....
Finish yours and there will be.
Are you just going off that video? Maybe it was a Ford themed track day.
Lots of different track days. Doesn't mean there haven't be any old Mopars out there. I've never seen a old Mercury Cougar at the track. But there was two in that video.

I think moparmitch has been there. (Maybe he'll chime in) He's got a 70 T/A clone. And the Sandbergs. (I'm thinking their 67 cuda, maybe their AAR race car, too.)

I got to take my Cuda on a parade lap there a few years ago when I entered it into a car show they had. There was no speed limit, but we were not allowed to pass the car in front of us...
That's when you slow down to 5mph for a bit, let them get a good lead on you.....

That's what I ended up doing on a few of the turns in the back section

YESSSS!!!! I've raced there with the Midwest Council of Sports Car Clubs (MCSCC), and also the Chicagoland Alfa Romeo Owners Club (CAROC)... the CAROC is a very open-friendly club. I've done hi-speed lapping sessions and hi-speed solo-autocross there. ALSO... I get to be the official "pace car" for the MCSCC's w2w road races on some occasions, including the coming wknd of Oct 6-7, 2012 at the Autobahn... also been pace car at Elkhart Lake Road America. I've been somewhat active with the MCSCC and CAROC just the last 3 years as I've taken my T/A out of hibernation (yes its a detalied clone but highly modified for SCCA E/SP Solo II). Also, there is another good road race track... Blackhawk Farms just north Rockford, IL.
