Just need to finish up my car and clean it up. Got Danes 1g running so it's making it's first long trip. Also picking a helmet up from a friend...just in case. Haha.

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

I'd go for the morning on friday before I return home for boating in the evening.

Car is running like complete shit under WOT. Unless I can pull a rabbit out of a hat today, it more than likely won't be racing.

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

Let me know if you need any help or parts to swap

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

Brandon, get it going! I know Jim and others have been working furiously to get everything ready for this weekend. My car is ready but alas, I am SOL. It's the wife's birthday and thus I'm booked all weekend with family stuff. Please post up results as they come in! I'll hop on and live vicariously through you :)

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

doesn't sound like I'm going to this. No one to ride with, and I don't care to drive alone all that distance. So, I'm out.

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

Wuss. I drive farther then that twice a month by myself. Even if I'm not racing, I'll still be there watching.

Scheides, I have been working furiously as well. Just a week ago my pistons / rods were sitting on my work bench. My battery is outta juice for whatever reason, so I'm going to let it charge while I go check out some boats :)

What I do need is a laptop. Mine was stolen awhile back so I've been using my work laptop. But it was having issues so I had to leave it with the IT guy. So I'm laptop-less

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

Don't be a sally, Swifty! Its a short easy drive to BIR and sounds like there will be plenty of other locals up there. See what you and your car are actually capable of.

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

I am not a wuss. No one I know is only going for the friday day, and I wanna get back friday afternoon so I may go boating/camping on the st. croix.

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

Jim, Shane, and Mara are going up either tonight or tomorrow morning.

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

I get off work at 9:30. I'd be down to go up tonight, if I had a place to crash and then drive back tomorrow afternoon, but I need to know asap.

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

Like I told you Swifty. I'm heading up there tonight, and will be there late Friday morning. I don't have anywhere for you to crash, but just go to a cheap motel or something. No need to count on someone else for somewhere to sleep.

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

oh I know, but I also have other bills I'm working on paying, so "spending" cash for something like this just isn't there. I am trying to cut corners where I can, hence why I won't even race the talon. A) it's not quite ready, and B) Don't wanna pay to break it.

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

This is by far the weakest excuse I have ever heard. Everyone else is driving their own car up there!

Take mine. I will backup whatever I need off of it in case it gets blown to smitherines :) I have A/C power as well as a car-charger. The battery lasts long enough for minor changes or doing a car restart, maybe 10-15 mins. I'll be around tonight. 651.236.0985.

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

Swifty, well be fine staying in the cities. Boating > cars. haha

Good luck everyone thats going!

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

Swifty talks more about going big with his car at the track that Jim, he should go and get some runs under his while its still running!

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

yea, but I also have TOO much to fix first. Clean fuel filter, fix revs, double-check tune on dyno, fix t-case bolts/seal, set up/wire 2-step, etc. Then, relearn how to launch it, since I can't do what I was doing before or I'll melt the clutch!

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

get R done ;)
