Road Course pre-registration link was added to the very top of the original post. If you plan on coming please take the time to pre-register, we WILL NOT collect money until you show up at the event. However, this will help us gauge attendance for this event being it is the first year of it. Thanks again! We look forward to seeing anyone out.

05-10-2010, 04:21 PM
Any word on if we can get in the night before (friday) for camping??

Also, im a bit confused on the events, there will be a regular auto-x (parking lot), a high speed auto-x on the road course, and a time attack/road racing event?? Or just a parking lot auto-x and a high speed auto-x on the road course??

I would love to try a couple laps on the road course, but I wouldn't be doing enough that it would be worth $150 to try it. Anyways, im super pumped and ready for this.

Maperformance
05-10-2010, 05:03 PM
yes you will be able to access the facility on friday night for camping...

there will be a regular autox in an open lot, not on the road course. a high speed autox on the road course. the high speed autox is taking the place of the time attack style. there is no difference to the format other then you will run one lap at a time, and start stationary instead of flying.

prelude2perfect
05-10-2010, 07:09 PM
Just pre-registered for the road course.

So how does it work if we want to compete in more than one event on Sunday? With the over-lapping times it looks like we can only compete in one event, correct?

I would like to compete in the car show and drag racing or road course with my prelude and possibly road course with the wifey's Bimmer. Is that at all possible?

The thing that we like about this event is most people will be playing around on the road coarse, and we'll have the drag strip relatively all to ourselves.

You'd have alot of shuffling around to do! But it can be done.

Turboimports
05-11-2010, 10:46 PM
Is there any rules on modifications for running on the road course? Like body, safety, etc.? Running without actual metal bumpers front/rear ok? Don't care too much about trophies or classes, just want to see what the car can do itself.

Maperformance
05-12-2010, 12:22 PM
Must have the stock seat belts or a certified harness. Drivers are required to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt with a DOT/SNELL approved helmet. Bumpers being removed is fine and up to the owner/driver of the car. (obviously the car will have to pass the tech inspection to make sure it’s safe to be on track) There is no classing for the lapping day. If they want to run the high speed auto-x they will be put into a class.

I want to get some feedback from you guys on ideas for Saturday night entertainment for Proving Grounds? BIR is offering a local cover band, but I thought perhaps there may be some better options out there. Please understand our budget for something like this is quite minimal, so please let's be inventive. What kind of ideas do you have?

I gotta ask, why the car show on Sunday? Why not have the show on Saturday since there are no other competitions that day? That way people with cars that are built for not just show or go can have an easier time doing different events.

Great news guys, Brainerd just informed us that there will be a price adjustment for this weekends drag racing. The price change will be $25 for the weekend for the drag racing. They want everyone to get their money worth. So even if we see a couple of sprinkles on Saturday, everyone will still be able to get out and make up for it on Sunday!

Also, the AutoX, Drifting, and the Road Course will all be run rain or shine! So everyone get out there early and let's make this a great time!!!

to everyone looking to head out today. it is a little moist this morning, but the forecast shows it to stop raining by 10:00, the BIR guy said they need about an hour to prep the track, and we will start working on qualifying. we will qualify from 11-2, then eliminations for 2-5

all the road course and drifting stuff will go on as planned
