Who here on the Forum is going to Powercruise?

Anybody got more vids? This event sounds sorta fun but lots of opportunity for stupid ish to happen. Looks like nobody had to wear helmets or anything? What other safety requirements were there?

Depending on the event you did not have to wear a helmet but even with a serious mishap or two (no car on car accidents at all during the event) everyone walked away with out serious injury and in good spirits. The event was absolutely a blast, Chris Carey's words were "best event I have ever participated in"!

If it wasn't on car craft weekend it would have easily been twice as big....next year I guarantee the turn out will be over doubled and as a spectator (who got a ride in BIR Gallardo BTW) I can say just watching really gave me the itch to build a purpose built "power skid" car for next years event!

So my personal plans next year are Proving Grounds then Power Cruise then Forum Wars - all should be full weekend events next year and all will be freaking sweet!

MAP <3's BIR - the facility, the owner, the people all make for great SAFE events that are as good if not better than what all the east coast and west coast guys have had for years. Now its our turn to have some fun amirite?

Maybe do Forum wars late in the year like late Sept or early Oct for a final run your car before it snows event?

I like this idea. I would have gone to all 3, but A) I couldn't really afford it. B) there wasn't enough time (plus A) in there to get the clutch I toasted at PG replaced for the other two.

I like this idea. Having Forum wars that close to Proving Grounds hurt the attendance of Forum Wars. It would be cool to push Forum Wars closer to the end of the car season. IMO.
