If you don't want to camp, what about getting a cheap hotel room in Brainerd? If you drive back and forth twice, that'll probably cost you a tank of gas ($30 or so). Plus 4hrs or so of extra driving. You might be able to just find a hotel for like $50 for Saturday night.

Pretty much all grass and no power outlets but actually has some shade which is nice. There are plenty of slabs back in the turn 10 corner where Map and Kiggly were (don't know about power there)

The area we were in had open slabs near by, and was really close to the strip/return lane. If anyone broke I would imagine someone who was running would lend their stall for an overnight repair (worst case).

Brandon swaped his rear axle in the grass

I have a feeling it's going to be a much bigger turn out this year. Maybe we should have a dedicated Style pit and a dedicated campsite.

I'll have a big EZ-up out there too

Just got done boost leak testing up to 30psi. So far so good!

Rounded up parts for a ghetto killswitch tether. Hopefully Tech wont make me install it on the bike. I don't want to drill no holez

Swifty1638 · 06-21-2010

I didn't want to drill any holes either so I ordered one from this site http://www.pmrcomponents.com/ . replaces the clamp on your brake lever. should get it tomorrow hopefully.

Sunoco has 110 at the pump right across Hwy 371 from BIR. And there is a BP station right next to the track but only has 91.

turbotalon1g · 06-22-2010

I'm just going up on saturday for the day. I am going to try and get there for 9:30.
Weather looks like shit, 40% chance of storms sat. and 20% sunday. I'll wait to see what day i'm heading up i guess

C3L1CA · 06-22-2010

You guys think I'll pass tech with only lap belts for harnesses instead of having the full 5 point harnessess installed?

You'll only need to if you run 10.99 or faster y0.

**CornFed2.4** · 06-22-2010

Yes, I think they will give you shit about it. Lets fix that oil leak and install a harness. I wanna see a 10.7 this year.

I have an extra but it's an older Snell. You could always go to tech with a newer one and then run with mine

C3L1CA · 06-22-2010

That'd be shitty if they make you have one, I was kinda hoping to bring my bike up and I don't have a tethered switch or full leathers. I wanna see you rip that shibby up.

I'll probably work on it a bit tonight and Thursday, if you wanna come over and have a beer and help you're more than welcome! I just wanna trap a little over 140 before something breaks, then I'll be pumped.

Well if they follow NHRA rules we won't need one. Bring an extra lanyard and I'll bring the rest (just incase)

If my trailer doesn't fall through I still have a spot for your bike.

Are you saying you only have lap belts, and that's it? No stock shoulder strap or anything?

Do you have a cage and everything too? I forget

Yep, just have a kirkey and a lap belt. Been too busy to screw around with a harness bar to use the full 5 point harness. No cage or anything, hope they're as strict as they were last year

turbotalon1g · 06-22-2010

^I want to see u trap 142 or better i think thats the record for stock bottom end

**CornFed2.4** · 06-22-2010

if u could bring it that would be swell!

tehehodi · 06-22-2010

Who's bringing a grill? I'd like to bring some meat and cook it instead of spend massive ammounts of money at stands or something.
