Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Outside of this event I planned to never go there again anyway. I ran .4 faster at Cedar Falls than I did at Rock Falls on the same setup (13.2 vs 12.8) and the same trap speed (108). So yeah fuck that place.

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Sounds like we need to start some threads on local boards to ban the next Sport Compact Day. See how Al likes that. :sasmokin:

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

AJ is right though, there are still a ton of people that will still drive down there and pay their $35 to get two runs on a shitty un-prepped track and then go back home complaining about how crappy the track was. Then a month later they will go back there and do it again.

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

How fucking lame. I was all excited to go and then I decide to check out this topic. Good thing I did, I would've driven all the way out there....lol

Does anyone have the addresses for the other two tracks mentioned?

The club will be open to members, as well as corporate and auto club events. We are planning to begin construction in the summer of 2007 so long as the interest in the project remains strong. All zoning and environmental issues are cleared and the project is now down to two potential locations. We are contacting you today to ask for your help to get the word out about this exciting new auto enthusiast and motorsport complex. We need to have 150 more member commitments to finalize our financing for the project. If you could please contact your membership and forward this announcement to them it would help all of us make this complex a reality. If you would like to learn more about LaMonza Motorport Country Club and what we will have to offer please visit our website at www.lamonzaclub.com. I would also be happy to attend your monthly member meeting to explain this project in greater detail.

I don't get it. If his first post was updated, that means this event is still on?

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

wow...I have been going to the RF raceway since i was about 13. I always enjoyed my time there, but than again i was a kid and any car fasinated me. I always did hear my sisters ex-boyfriend say that the track prep is crappy though. I was looking foward to seeing all the fast cars this weekend, I would of been taking my sister from Georgia, she was really excited too. but the petition will be signed and this track is off my list.

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Ok, so that means that according to the first post, this is still on? what's the charge for all of us racers?

-A. Swift

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Just making sure. In that case, when's the next track day anywhere, and is anyone going?

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

I don't think anyone from this board should ever go to RF again after the way they treated us.

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Agreed. Lets go pee on their track. Group event!

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Well I agree In peeing on the track. Set up the tree and time our R/T's on pulling it out.

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Haha I'm in for peeing on the track :)

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Just for another joke on top of this ordeal when I was trying to talk both Al and (I assume Jennifer) about running my Porschica with the parachute on it we got to talking about me running my race car there and things like that. Turns out her husband is afraid to run his car full out due to the safety issues it would be present. The funny thing is it only traps at mid 160s. The track isn't safe enough for one of the track officials to run thier car to 160 mph... says alot. Just thought this was funny to mention.

Re: July 8th: 1st Annual Modern Automotive Performance Proving Grounds

Yeah, this is why the IA tracks get a ton of MN Business. Personally, I'm all for planning a weekend down in IA. I'd love to hit up Tri-State again.
