Our forth annual event had the best weather all weekend long for all to enjoy Buick Horsepower. We would like to thank all who participatedin your fall event. If it was not for the volunteers who help run things, the participants who make the event what it is and the spectators our event would not be successful. The Midwest Challenget is an established fall tradition.
Please be sure to tell your fellow racers and car show buffs about the great time you had in Northwest Indiana. We have heard from a number of participants and spectators who had as much fun as we did.We should extend our thanks to Mark Holda and Paul Bralie for their tireless efforts at not only running the racing but keeping track of all the data required.
