WAT

Trust me when I say that is absolutely absurd.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

You need to hang around people with brains, poofy.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

ya i know

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Any new updates for this event?

Thanks

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Nothing new to report at this point, should definitely be a lot of people in attendance though!

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Less than one month away!

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Weak update! :P

It will be a great time!

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I'm still working to get my car ready. We'll be staying at the cabin about an hour or so away. I plan on being there Friday to get some pulls in. If I don't get booted, then I plan to run Saturday as well.

Do we have to sign up for a category if we're coming to race in advance?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

No sir sign ups will all be done the day of.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I plan to drive up early Saturday morning with a group of people to compete in the autocross. Any idea how many runs will be had?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I don't as that will all depend on the number of people that show up :(

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Does this Drift Crew or whatever they call themselves have any experience running/organizing an auto-x event?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

He made it sound like they have done it previously, but regardless they will be better than we would be lol. I'm sure that anyone that wanted to lend a hand in the organization and operation of that portion of the event could do so...

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Alright thanks for the info :) I'm sure it'll be a fun day!

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I'm getting excited for this! Any word on how strict they're going to be regarding cages?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

x2 on the cage thing. I would think most of the cars that would be in the awd street tire class are fast enough to need at least a 5pt cage if not a 10pt.

Assuming I get off my lazy ass and throw in my new head gasket and studs I really want to come out to this.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

X3 on how strict there going to be my Harnesses are out of date. But I've yet to run 11.49 will I need to buy new ones?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

This should be a fun event. Maybe we should start a roll call of Mitsu owners that are going? We've got four of us from MN 3/S going.

later,
Curt

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

It sounds like tech will be pretty strict even though this is not an NHRA sanctioned event as BIR's insurance company requires them to do so. However, from my conversations with them it sounds like they are most concerned about cars that would be in the 9 second range without licenses, cages, etc. Take that for what it's worth...

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

The same rules (as far as a cage is concerned) applies for not only 9sec cars, but any car going over 135mph (ie: 10pt cage, harnesses, license...).

I guess we'll see. I plan on running all day Friday. If I get kicked off, then I guess Saturday I don't race :(

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Yeah I hear that, I guess we will just have to find out :(

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I shall MAYBE see what talon does here..as I've never ran it before..could get interesting..

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

So, dumb question, but this is Sport Compacts only? Not Vette's or anything allowed to race?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Yes sir sport compacts only.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I heard Magnus will not be going? Is this true?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Anyone from MitsuStyle planning on camping at BIR Friday night? The MN 3/S guys are planning on it.

later,
Curt

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

It sounds like they are having issues with the car and might not be able to make it out :( Damn race cars...

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Does a motorcycle need a kill switch tether if it runs above 11.5 and traps below 120mph?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Anyone care to meet up Friday morning and cruise to brainerd? I dunno if I'm going on sat.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I got your text. I am actually heading to my g/f's cabin that's a little over an hour away, on Ottertail Lake, on Thursday evening. Spending the night and just heading to the track on Friday from there, and staying at her cabin that weekend. We plan on being there on Friday late morning, maybe around 10-11 or so.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Mmmm. Anyone else going? Sounds like most everyone I've spoken to is going sat. But I might be busy that day. Guess we will see.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I am not sure you will be able to run this weekend as it is for sport compacts only

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

There is an import bike class.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

If you want to cruise up there with the MN 3/S guys, your more than welcome to join us. We'll be leaving my house in Rogers at 10am on Friday. I'll be trailering, so we won't be driving super fast.

later,
Curt

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

This event is a maybe for me, but a couple of my buddies are going and were thinking about cruising up with some people. We have a lot of work to do this week, and I still have to get my car back on it's feet.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I will more than likely be there both days, for sure all day Saturday.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I will more than likely not be racing now :( Stupid cars.

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

Didn't you just get it back on the road ?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

What happened?

Re: 2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd,
 

I would be interested in participating but I don't have a "sport compact". If you rode in it you would say it is pretty compact though.

Would be most interested in road racing which isn't offered however.
