If we planned this ahead enough, i could be down, but all i have is the a DSM, well and a sweet corolla. I would actually take my corolla over the DSM for handling

Its December and the event is in August, hopefully thats enough time for you.

That Corolla is a sweet ride, do it up.

I definitely want to do this sometime this year. I need a fast track though, my drag setup doesn't like tight corners and slow ess's of something like a low-speed autocross setup. Last time I tried that with my little 20G, I was fishtailing all over and even spun off track. RoadAmerica would rock.

Yeah, I'm all for setting something up, and getting hotel rooms booked again.

Chris, cordinate this shit. :D

I'll talk with my dad and get some hotel recomendations. I used to go to the CART Indy car races out there with him, but I don't remember which hotels were the best/worst. We also did an 8-hour endurance go-karting event a few years back out there which CVD did with us. Its a great track though, long fast straights leading into hard tight corners. Something like 14 corners I think. This track really taxes brakes so if we actually do this I'll be putting on better pads and bringing spare everything.

[Enes]

I'd do this too, afcourse towing the car down there is the only way..

[AJ]

Oh yeah, where the fuck is RA?

Snow States Auto Club and SCCA are working on 2 dates this summer at BIR. I don't have all the details yet but I know they will have HPDE's (High Performance Driving Education) up there as well as lapping. Lapping I think is for the preapred cars, but Donnybrooke might have cars to rent up there for that. It's gonna be exciting when they get all the track changes done. They're (BIR) talking about being able to hold more than one type of event at a time (i.e. drag racing and a road course simultaneously with a possible autocross as well) once the track is done.

Go to www.scca-lol.org for more details. They have forums on there as well to keep updated on events and such. I'll try to post more when I know more about it. BTW, Snow States Auto Club is the new subsidiary of the LOL region of SCCA. It picks up where SCCA dropped the ball. All the same people, just a branch off of the local region. That way we can still do the same thing that we did in SCCA before they dropped certain programs such as rally. Rallycrosses are still under SCCA jurisdiction.

As far as BIR goes, they were talking about the possibility of adding a date. NASA worked with Snow States Auto Club last year, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them together again. It was mentioned that BIR wasn’t taking dates until their track modifications were closer to finished.

RA would be some serious fun, and is one of the closest tracks to us. I would love to see a big group there. Chris is right on about it being hard on brakes though. If you have a quick car, it’s will put your brakes to the test.

Cost is ~$150 for a 2 day weekend depending on the track.

Matt, I’ll post this up on MNSC too.
