Due to my schedule in checking out of the hotel and then driving to the Navistar grounds to take advantage of the $20 paid to drive the circuit, I was greeted by a very friendly guard who stated that I was too late, but could watch cars exit. I asked of there was a vantage point to at least see the track and she said no. She then stated that several other Studebaker drivers had been refused entry due to the time factor and that some personally were (in her words) "livid." Since there was no end time stated in ANY of the information from SDC, i assumed (incorrectly) that arrival at 10 would get me on track. I was told the last cars were sent out at 9:30. I get that the track is privately owned and that the chapter did a service to allow members to drive their Studebakers on the track, but poor communication exacerbated the situation. This needed information needs to be corrected/added in the future as I am now out $20 and the time wasted driving to the proving grounds.
Otherwise, it was a fine performance by the Michiana Chapter for the event.
