Road America's Briggs & Stratton Motorplex. Rather than weaving through a sea of cones on a large parking lot - we are racing on a hilly, narrow, course. The course will be laid out to better suit our high-powered, RWD Camaros! What a site to see... a big burly Camaro weaving on the track. See the Motorplex Track Map.
