Is it safe to assume that the track has fuel for sale or should I bring a large gas can from the outside?

Fuel is available at the track by credit card at their pumps - but it a weebit expensive.  I would bring your own fuel if you could.  Camping will be crowded that day.  STT is having a racer's only track day on Thursday before the CCS events for the weekend.  Camping is $30.00 and they have a secure and clean faciltiy for those that have never been there.

They are switching fuel supplier so they are low on fuel right now. Only have 104 and 110 at the track. I don't know  if they will have the other supplier in by next weekend. Prices were 6.00 for 110 and 7.50 for 104. Lithium Motorsports is the Midwest VP sluppier and will be there for the CCS weekend.

Autobahn sucks! I didn't like the track, the staff, or the facility! We were treated like red headed step children at best. No showers, no power, wont let us in there little club house, un realistic noise limits! I will not go back EVER! Even if it means the differance between winning a championship or not. Snobby bastards ... all of them! Boycot them I say!

How is the camping? I undestand it is one big paved parking lot - which is fine for setting up for racing but is there enough grass for everyone to camp?  Also, if you don't camp, does it cost less?

There is plenty of grass for camping. Camping is an additional charge so yes it is cheaper if you don't camp. Until you factor in your hotel room. There are showers there now.

There is no power,little grass for tents,and yes the club house is for them. You need to get something for the 33,000 dollar investment.

assume nothing with Autobahn...

The only things you can count on are that it will be hot, dusty, lacking conveniences, and a completely different experience from every other CCS midwest event...
