You need to hang around people with brains, poofy.

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

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 :(
