MAPerformance Proving Grounds Weekend @ BIR June 22-24th

[carltalon]

I beat my goal of 11.99 with a 11.842 @ 116. I was also pretty competitive in the stock apearing class. The last 6 cars were all mitsu's with the exception of a Nissan GTR. I got eliminated 1 round before the money not sure if it was 4th or 5th place. awsome day.

Good job dude always good to out do your goals.

Who won SA?

I saw the evo crash, I was right there on the pit lane. There wasn't even a tire squeal or any hint of braking, full speed off the track and into the wall. He was also going very fast, I'd say in the area of 80-90mph, at least that is how fast I used to go there before braking into turn 13. Sideways into the grass, didn't look like it was going to hit the wall, but the impact has pushed two 3,000lbs concrete blocks away about 3 feet.

One of the staff's ran to the wreck of the silver evo as soon as it happened, and his brake fluid was still boiling...

You would think it would be better to go off track straight on into the tirewall and hit it with the front, car was going to be totalled anyway. Helmet + airbag = should be fine. However I had brakes fade (not even fail) on me at the track before. There was little time and panic probably overwhelmed him. I think it should be mandatory to have upgraded brake fluid for road racing, period.

Wow, what a crazy weekend! Good time as always and all-ready planning on next year :)

The GT-R took SA with an 11.3

I took SA/U with an 11.5.

SA field was good, but the SA/U was stupid light, wish some more of you had been able to make it out!

no black lgt. I was the skinny blond chick sitting on the bridge when the car was coming over on the dolly.

[Fran05]

Gotcha. There was a blonde in a white STi on the road course. She was getting some pretty good lap times in, I personally clocked her @ 1.57.44, which is pretty good for stage 1 STi and mostly suspension mods. I remember one legacy on gold BBS sti wheels, maybe that one was yours? Otherwise I remember one more lgt, but not 100% sure. My friend had a black 07 STi, I was riding with him.
