Re: MAP Proving Grounds Event @ BIR / Feedback and Discussion

I intended to at least spectate if not participate in the autocross, but between being sick and slacking on working on my car I chose to stay home.

One thing concerned me from the videos of the autocross I saw that would have turned me away from it, and that was the barriers surrounding the course. I heard the same concerns from at least two other people, one of which chose to drag race instead. I have suffered a collision with such barriers at an autocross before and it's not fun. Drifters may accept that certain "obstacles" are inherent to the sport, but no where in autocross are you expected to pay for your mistakes.

I like the idea of holding it over Saturday/Sunday. I could not get off work in time to run Friday and me and the ol' lady really wanted to camp out Saturday night as well. Brainerd staff said that was a no-go
