I know everyone always talks down on them, but I actually liked Rock Falls a lot.
Kinda like how everyone talks up Cedar Falls, while my buddies down in Iowa hate the fuck out of it, and I had a poor experience myself. It's all objective, really.

I think the word you were going for was subjective.

Anyway, doing the novice school again is a great idea, it was soo helpful, and I'd like to do it in dry conditions.

I'm down for some drag racing events... I know it doesn't make sense cause our cars are imports and all, but If you go on fun days to rock falls, they tend to put more traction compound down it seems. I know import days they don't put any down... guess you AWD guys don't care as much as the 2 of us that want to race our FWD dyno queens. Game on!

I think I'd like to do a drag event or 2. My car isn't prepped for drag, nor do I find it all that interesting, but I have just never done it and would like to see how quickly my basically stock 1g could do it in.

I'll also almost certainly be at the novice school, with my chumpcar team and car to get everyone some seat time in it before any real events.

I'm also hopefully doing more autox events this year as well.

They are not!!!!


I definately plan to hit up the drag strip this year again though. I'll get kicked off again probably, but it'll be fun to watch others. Maybe I'll try to run my DD just for kicks. Last year at rock falls I got to go on both an Import day, and a Fun day. They were both quite fun to attend, but the lines were way shorter on the Fun day. But even with the long lines on the import day, I still got 6 runs in, and it wasn't so bad because it let your car cool down. The Fun day had some mean looking cars, but most of them were just loud and not all that fast.

heh, should have went on the fun day on back to the 50's weekend... I ran the bike I clocked like 19 runs. It was open season, all that practice and I only ran a 10.02... Damn 9's are elusive.

The tech for wed nights is pretty lax, I'm sure you could run the slicks without much of an issue.

I used a 95tsi's full face BMX helmet about a half dozen times last year. lol

Actually, BIR usually wont let people run on full slicks on Wed nights. Unless you tech the car on street tires then swap out to slicks.

It is actually a DOT approved helmet. But I do plan on getting a new one this year so I can get past tech for AUTOX and some full track time at BIR!!!

these cars turn pretty good with the right parts!!

Unfortunately, that isn't an option. The novice school exists as an introduction to autocross so you don't go to your first event completely blind. Beyond that we hold an intermediate autocross school for MAC members sometime during the year, otherwise you really should just go to an event.
