I like this idea. I think the Evo's will dominate. that is if GST Motorsports doesnt show up with their Impreza L.

Lmao!!!!!!!!!
Something i wanted to do the last 2 years. I wanted to setup a triple challenge. Drag race, Auto-X, and Road course. using a formula (to create each event equal) multiplied by your times. This would be the ultimate driver/car challenge.

Don't forget the emissions, car show, engineering, driveability, dyno, fuel economy and gross display of horsepower categories.

I would be all over this if you could make it happen. Might know a few guys that would as well. The biggest obstacle would be event timing... there is still a lot of overlap (which can't really be avoided).

Yes, I'm hoping we can overcome that somehow. More details to come.....

Glad there are some people interested.

Last year a couple of us on the road course thought it be fun to run in all 3 events, but as it turns out the autox, drag, and road course events are going on at the same time for the timed events. Hopefully you can get this sorted out for next year, I know myself and 2 others that will be game for that challenge for sure.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012

It might still work. Day 1 last year was practice / timed autoX #1, Road Course, and open drag practice. Day 2 was timed autoX #2, and Drag shootout. Even making it to the final in the largest field in drag, I had ample time to get my junk over to the autoX to get tech'd and all the runs. If I had elected to do the road course on day 1, instead of just drag, all 3 would have been possible that weekend.
