I see no mention of that, or are you talking about Friday? I was thinking road course or something.

No love for people who enjoy turning the wheel.

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

Do you guys think the parking lot to the right in this pic would be large enough to Auto-X? We might be able to arrange that for those that like to turn

Just got off the phone with them and yes they have, we can definitely split time on this area for Auto-X and drifting, does that entice anyone else to come out?

Measurements would be helpful. I'll look at what Google Maps has to offer for aerial images and see how it looks. I wouldn't want to jeopardize safety if the area simply isn't big enough.
