I'm hoping we can go in full force to MAP's event this year, that would be pretty fun.

[TkrPerformance]

I would be up for something this year

Problems. Work weekends and 2nd shift will be hard to get off of work. Don't know what they would say about my car or if it would be let onto any track.

I would be up for a few drag events and mabe autox if it was just a test day. There is no way my car would be able to compeit with all that is done to it.

I would have to find rear axels and have the shipped here for spares just incase. And I would have to bring the car on a trailer to events since I just can't go to the parts store and buy evo 3 parts

I'm down for brainerd as well. I had a blast last year racing, even though my car was slow as bawls. I have 8-10 friends that are pumped to be out there to spectate, and hopefully a couple cars out there as well (snoman181 has 2 cars yet to be finished, and scorcho96 hopefully can bring his). Can't make commitments for them though.

Concerns: Getting my car back together lol. If you guys have looked at my project thread, I have quite the list to accomplish in spring, and still need that one thing to make it all happen...money. I won't know a work schedule, until I get a job. So I'm making no big promises at this point.

Drag: Im down for at least the proving grounds event, had a great time last year, and let's just say, my group of friends likes to party, so when the sun goes down, and the cars are all off the track, we will be doing a bit of drinking haha. I may try and get out to a rock falls event or 2, race some honduhs.

Auto-x: We'll see. I'm doing a lot of maintenence come spring, and would like to maybe get to one event.

Fun idea. Scheides, I know we've talked about this before but the most fun auto-x events to attend are the test n tunes at DCTC as you have mentioned above. Unlimited runs and you only have to work the course for ~1.5 hours so that leaves you ~5 hours to do runs. They're a little pricier to attend but well worth it since they have 2 courses going at once (generally one more technical and the other faster) both just under a minute in length if I recall correctly.

[cmspaz]

The other thing about the T&T events is that you need to be a MAC member to sign up in the first place, which is $30 per year.

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

Drag, autox, road course, drift. I'll do 'em all!

[Kracka]

Will you actually be going to the strip (with and running your car) this year Swifty or will history once again repeat itself?

Hey! I was ready after staying up all night for the last RF event, but it got rained. So, there. I hope this year will FINALLY be different, but again, my situation keeps changing..who knows.

[Halon]

Hey we tried to setup some drag meets last year. We actually had good turnouts, but Hughes was the only Mod that I think showed up, which was at the MAP event

[Kracka]

Yup, that was a fun day too, I just wish my clutch hadn't broken a few days previous since I wanted to at least participate in their auto-x.

[Halon]

I suppose better at home then at the track tho eh? I had enough fun replacing an axle there, couldn't imagine a clutch job

[Kracka]

Very true! I definitely had fun watching all you guys run though.

[MustGoFaster]

A note to Scheides since you mentioned the Test n Tune AX days. They are awesome days to go on, run until you just don't want to any more. But you need to be a MAC member to run a TnT, it's an additional $30.

I would highly recommend taking the novice school to anyone interested. You will get 16-20 runs, with an instructor for every run. There is also an instructor run period where you can ride with instructors, or have them drive your car if you want. This time period almost always ends up with an EVO or STI with 4 people in it.

[Kracka]

The novice school is the best way to get into autocross; period.

List Modifications: All of them.

[asshanson]

I'm in for several events this year, won't be going to Iowa every other weekend for the first time in years, so I should be able to attend a lot more.

IF I still have the Talon come spring, I'm for sure going to drag race it, but I'm not sure which car to autox. The Talon can turn much better but has significant lag, whereas the Caddy has instant wheelspin power, AND way better brakes.

[carltalon]

I'll be down for alot more drag raceing this summer My car. cars in running condition and my daughter will be old enuf to come and watch without being to mutch trouble. I also Just finished builsing a car trailer so there will be no worries about breaking. I will also bring my street tires so If any meber break My car could be driven home and there car could go on the trailer.

concerns: Money Never know when I'll have extra.

Not being able to run my slicks on Wed's night BIR street races

[311evo]

I got a ton of practice in list year at an 1/8'th mile track, and this year I would definitly love to put down some 1/4 mile times.

Only if my 4th gear wants to work..

[Swifty1638]

^ do it up! I may even be able to do some 1/8 passes with you boys out at grove..

You can bet on it.
