Totally, but there's not really anyone breaking out unless you blatantly sandbag then it would be MAP's call if they get thrown out. Could just call it MAP's Quick 16 or whatever and adopt the All Out rules.

My idea was to turn the weekend into a car forum entry only then you would get all kinds of cars, but from MAPs last statement i say leave it as it is.

I guess I will follow Matt. Ds idea and say maybe some kind of class with a payout if possible? I don't since the price to drag was dirt cheap for 2 days and I hope you/BIR can help get the same deal for years to come as attendance will only increase.

+1

This event was a blast just like the 1st one and will get better every year. Plus the staff was really cool about everything including late night shennanigans.

As far as I could tell anyone with an import that wanted to make a pass on the drag strip was able to do so almost immediately, and as many times as their heart desired. Why would a Mitsubishi enthusiast forum want to allow domestics to an event that is specifically designed for you to get the most out of BIR's phenomenal facility?

The diesels were there because it was also an NHRDA Sanctioned event sponsored by Jag's Pro Truck Shop. They ended up in the same weekend because of a scheduling error according to the owner of Jag's.

I'll try to get the AutoX times posted as well if Blake doesn't get around to it. I'm from the CWSCC crew that was running the AutoX. Some nice times and nice cars out there! great driving everyone!

Overall, that was the BEST weekend of racing i've ever attended. I spent most of my free time on the big track, but managed to sneak in a few AutoX runs as well. I wanted to get a timeslip just for kicks since i was there, but the lines were too long for me!

Thanks to Blake for his time on setting up this event, and thanks to the BIR crew as well for being so helpful, laid back, and on top of things as well. On our end... everything ran as smooth as could be expected for the AutoX, Lapping day, and high-speed AutoX on sunday as well. For any of you that attended those events, we hope you had a good time! we sure had a lot of fun out there as well.

Thanks again to Blake and MAP for making it possible, and allowing us to be a part of it!

^Thank you! Getting to just race and not work was freaking EPIC awesome. I can't thank you guys enough for just being there to let people racing just focus on driving. So much fun, you converted a drag-only fp black owner to a stock-turbo loving autoX hound. Good work!

We ran an 22 and a 21, beat that!

[scheides]

Ok, I changed my mind on the v8's thing, good call MAP. I had a freaking blast, and honestly wouldn't change anything major with how this event is run. It was FUN!

Any chance they can be a little less strict on the 11.5sec cage rule? It was sad to see tuley get the boot after running low 10's on a perfectly safe street car.

Ha, I hope you are being sarcastic. That car isn't perfectly safe. At least on the track it goes straight, on the street it goes sideways if you try to get on it in 3rd. You are also supposed to have a parachute at 150+mph. We will probably put a cage in it, do all the safety stuff, get some suspension, slicks, etc if he wants to go the drag car route with it. Making horsepower is the easy part.

It sucks for Ron though who went 11.0 his first pass on the stock turbo and got kicked out.

That is based on NHRA rules which is what the track's insurance uses.

[C3L1CA]

They seemed like it was hit or miss with them being strict. I didn't get a single talking to and Ron got the boot right away like Shane said.

Apparently they don't look twice a shitty looking 2g.

[Super Bleeder!!]

Ron should drive everyones evos for them. The man has skilllllzz

That's why I only ran 11.5's haha

[Speedfreak]

Kinda glad neither cars were ready, I wouldn't have been to happy to try and jam on the car to get it ready and then get kicked right away.

I guarantee that I'll suck for a while...I'm a natural at nothing. Once the car is sorted I'll start driving it. haha.

You can't help but think he'd be better off with a smaller setup and get some passes in. A part of me respects what he's doing, given his budget. I'm all-or-nothing when it comes to some things, so I can empathize.

It was the first time I'd watched drag racing. I had no idea that car had that much power until Scheides told me. Holy crap!

Why isn't there just a 'slow down' warning, and he could turn the boost down or something?

[Halon]

Great time! Though I wish I could have done better. I struggled all weekend with my 1 -2 shift, which killed my times. I did have a best trap of 133 though, so it's still runing alright!

On my last pass (befoe I lost in eliminations) while I was staged, one of the Puerto Rican guys pointed out that 2 of my transmission bolts were loose!! Tightened them up, we'll see if she shifts better now. If not, tranny will probably get sent out to be refreshed.

But I had a blast. Got to meet Dave H with the Supra so that was nice. To anyone who as doubting that they wanted to camp in the beginning, I bet they are all glad they did Camping was pretty damn fun!

Great event, can't wait until next year.

yeah not having to work makes for an awesome event. unfortunately i had to work, for the entire weekend. But that’s ok, i had a BLAST!

I'll have results posted up soon for the auto-x.

Next year will be better. Our club had another auto-x event to run that day back in Wisconsin, otherwise we would have brought our display.

Where was all the big track guys? The open lapping day on the road course had a very small turnout. It did make for LOTS of track time.

Cant wait for next year!!!

Did anyone get pics at the auto-x? I had the black on black evo (with the wing).

A big handful of local Evo owners (myself included) and other track nuts were at Iowa Speedway for the ChumpCar race, and MAC had an autocross in Eau Claire with CVSCC.
