well, not that area..I was just in the blacktop area pits off turn 10, then when MCSO was over, we moved over to the campgrounds over by that big stinky pond area..

That's what I'm talking about man, MAP said we could section off a whole area for MitsuStyle.com (and friends) so if there's a big area that we can organize a little, let's try and do it! If it's just a freeforall, then fuk it, NBD. I just wanna be able to hang out and visit and wrench as needed.

Andrew, I got some stuff I'll throw in your caddie! IMHO people bring jacks, tools, car covers, tarps, coolers, whatever. I'll bring my pop-up tent and a table, a jack, and such.

Anna is uber on the fence now, really not sure if she's coming. Heard you can bring dogs, but idk if I really want to deal with them to be honest.

^WHen are you going up there?
I'm driving a damn pickup, no need to wedge shit in a sweet caddy

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

Sounds like he's going friday afternoon, I won't be leaving until after work friday, maybe 7-ish? If anyone wants to meet up weds or thursday and take some stuff, that'd be sweet.

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

^U camping up there?

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

Sounds like it :)

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

IF I go, I'll probably be trailering the car this year too. I'm sure we'll have plenty of tools. We were pretty good to go last year when I had to change my axle out.

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

Since it looks like everyone is bringing the usual tools, maybe we should put a list of specialty type shit, like timing belt tools or axle sockets or O2 sensor sockets.

I don't know, i just usually drive my car race and come back but i don't have a 10sec car.

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

Being as I live down in Savage, it's worth it to me, if not for the fact that gas is cheaper (splitting with the guy towing it) and it will give me better piece of mind at the track to push a little harder..

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

I had Rosco out there last year. We're leaving him home this time though so we can go party.

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

Haha, such a planner!! Seriouslly I'm sure there will be plenty of tools. I'll bring a compresion tester and the threaded T-Belt tool. Along with my Craftsman tool plastic tool chest thing, and probably my jack. Oh and a big box of rags!

As for usually driving a car and come back, good on ya. That's what I've done too, but the last time I snapped an axle and it's not very fun being a few hours away from home, with a busted axle and no real back-up plan. So a trailer just gives me much better piece of mind.

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

I'll have my cordless impacts, a ton of sockets, wrenches, jackstands, etc.


edit, could bring a few spare trannies and axles. (could be worth their weight in gold :D)

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

I'll bring some energy/motivational drinks if your working on your car?

keg? lol

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

Can you get a DWI on the strip? haha!!

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

Who says I'm driving? I'm spectating!

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

Shit, last year I swapped tranny case's the day/night before (bell housing was cracked), loaded all my shit in the trunk with the seats folded down, and drove up Friday morning. Did 5-10 full throttle passes 6500rpm launch's and stuffed my crap back in the car and drove home sunday morning. :)

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

^Thats usually how i do it, minus the extra parts.

I just want to be prepared B man and I'm not even running but I would hate to see someone not run because of a tool we all have 2+ hrs away.

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

I'll have my tools with, and I'm pretty sure Kyle from map will have his tool box in the trailer as well.

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