Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27

Would that have a ton of people breaking out then?
But i guess that might make some try to drive better. I like the idea matt, I'm just saying.
Totally, but there's not really anyone breaking out unless you blatantly sandbag then it would be MAP's call if they get thrown out. Could just call it MAP's Quick 16 or whatever and adopt the All Out rules.

My idea was to turn the weekend into a car forum entry only then you would get all kinds of cars, but from MAPs last statement i say leave it as it is.

I guess I will follow Matt. Ds idea and say maybe some kind of class with a payout if possible? I don't since the price to drag was dirt cheap for 2 days and I hope you/BIR can help get the same deal for years to come as attendance will only increase.

I had a great time up there again this year, will continue to make it out to these every year.

This event was a blast just like the 1st one and will get better every year. Plus the staff was really cool about everything including late night shennanigans.

If they were to allow domestics to compete in this event it would be a whole different animal and would likely be overrun by their "regulars" which includes bracket racers and purpose built drag cars. As far as I could tell anyone with an import that wanted to make a pass on the drag strip was able to do so almost immediately, and as many times as their heart desired. Why would a Mitsubishi enthusiast forum want to allow domestics to an event that is specifically designed for you to get the most out of BIR's phenomenal facility?

The diesels were there because it was also an NHRDA Sanctioned event sponsored by Jag's Pro Truck Shop. They ended up in the same weekend because of a scheduling error according to the owner of Jag's.

MAP, can we get the AutoX results posted? I saw round1 numbers and that was it, they were on the trailer that was there during it, but as soon as drift setup started, no one knew anything....

I'll try to get the AutoX times posted as well if Blake doesn't get around to it. I'm from the CWSCC crew that was running the AutoX. Some nice times and nice cars out there! great driving everyone!

Overall, that was the BEST weekend of racing i've ever attended. I spent most of my free time on the big track, but managed to sneak in a few AutoX runs as well. I wanted to get a timeslip just for kicks since i was there, but the lines were too long for me!

Thanks to Blake for his time on setting up this event, and thanks to the BIR crew as well for being so helpful, laid back, and on top of things as well. On our end... everything ran as smooth as could be expected for the AutoX, Lapping day, and high-speed AutoX on sunday as well. For any of you that attended those events, we hope you had a good time! we sure had a lot of fun out there as well.

Thanks again to Blake and MAP for making it possible, and allowing us to be a part of it!

^Thank you! Getting to just race and not work was freaking EPIC awesome. I can't thank you guys enough for just being there to let people racing just focus on driving. So much fun, you converted a drag-only fp black owner to a stock-turbo loving autoX hound. Good work!

No you don't, I do.

For a car that almost keeps up with the BeaterX on the highway, there's no way I should have been running 14s. But as I've said, I can never drive at the track.

We ran an 22 and a 21, beat that!

Ok, I changed my mind on the v8's thing, good call MAP. I had a freaking blast, and honestly wouldn't change anything major with how this event is run. It was FUN!

Any chance they can be a little less strict on the 11.5sec cage rule? It was sad to see tuley get the boot after running low 10's on a perfectly safe street car.

Ha, I hope you are being sarcastic. That car isn't perfectly safe. At least on the track it goes straight, on the street it goes sideways if you try to get on it in 3rd. You are also supposed to have a parachute at 150+mph. We will probably put a cage in it, do all the safety stuff, get some suspension, slicks, etc if he wants to go the drag car route with it. Making horsepower is the easy part.

It sucks for Ron though who went 11.0 his first pass on the stock turbo and got kicked out.

That is based on NHRA rules which is what the track's insurance uses.
