Trek to the Track and Track Touring
We plan to organize a "Trek to the Track" from both the Milwaukee and Madison areas. Treks are planned for both Saturday and Sunday. Besides driving to the track together, there will be an opportunity to do track touring during the lunch hour on both Saturday and Sunday.
A contribution to the event's designated charities will be accepted for track touring. The charities for this year's event are Second Harvest and The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Track touring is open to any car including convertibles and SUVs. Track touring will take place behind a pace car with a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour. More information on these plans will be available as we get closer to the event.
Booster Club
You can play an important part in making The Milwaukee Cup an outstanding event by joining The Milwaukee Cup 2008 Booster Club. For as little as $25.00, you can become a member. You will receive a certificate of membership, mention in the Immer and Steinlifters (PCA newsletter) and in the race program. Your membership dues will go toward offsetting the expense of the Saturday night party at the event. Come join in the fun. If you want to join, send your check for $25, made payable to Badger Bimmers, to:

Sponsorship Opportunities
We are looking for sponsors for the event. If you or your company is interested in helping to sponsor the event, please send Mustafa Emir an email or give him a call at 414-315-1933.
Club Racing
There will be both BMW CCA and Porsche Club of America club racing during the event. There will be short, sprint races and enduro races for both clubs. All of the races will be on Sunday with practice and qualifying on Saturday. Racers will also participate on Friday in their own test and tune groups. There won't be racing with BMWs and Porsches on the track at the same time but I'm sure the racing will be exciting.
