Brainerd this weekend

[slowbubblecar]

Anyone plan on going up there this weekend to watch Rau? Sounded like a few of the Winona people, Swifty and some of the MAP crew planned on going. There will be a few of us on the road course as well. If anyone that is coming up would like to go for a ride around the track in the blue viper, come find us. I don't think we will get the 5 cars needed for the discount so John and I will probably both use his car. Probabaly won't be able to have passangers in the morning due to the instructors riding along, but they do allow passangers to ride along. We will probably take a few breaks in the day to check out the strip also.

when do you guys plan on leaving?

Early enough to get there. It is about a 2hr drive from my brother's house. It starts at 7:30 am. They will have some introductions, go over a few things and take everyone for a quick tour of the track. After that, they will have about 1hr of classroom training discussing techniques and safety. When that is done, you will get to drive with an instructor. He will give you tips on the "line" and different areas about the track. The instructor will be available to help you all day. When you are comfortable on your own, you can drive as you please for the rest of the day. Breakfast, lunch, and all the pop/water you can drink are included so you won't need to bring food.

Also, before you go, remove your floor mats and anything out of your car that could possibly move around. Last time I went, I had a pile of crap sitting in the garage area of things that I needed to remove from my car. Won't happen this time :)

I will be but not for the races for drinking and 4 wheeling and jet skiing.

Nice to see you are volunteering my car for joy rides ;) I will probably tape up my lights so I don't have to worry about rock chips if I end up going off roading again.


Haven't really had a chance to test this car, hope all is well in the alignment and suspension area.

Should be fun.

I was going to go to the fair but I think my plans are falling through so if I don't work saturday i'll probably be in st.cloud so I might swing up there for the day to watch the racing

Winona people? Who is that? Starting to get interested. Brainerd is 5hrs away for me but if more people from here are going, I'd possibly go!

We're leaving tomorrow night so we can be there all day Saturday and Sunday. We are racing in the outlaw class and Rau is racing in the Pro Outlaw class, should be some decent 4 cylinder representation at the Muscle Car Shootout ;)
