MAPerformance's Proving Grounds 2014 @ Brainerd International Raceway!

Are the people who are leaving actually racing or are they there just partying most of the weekend and maybe making a disappointing pass or two? If they're partying, who cares? Let them leave. That's not the point of the event and sadly for most attendees that's what it has become.

This is actually the reason for me never wanting to really go, beside the fact my car is always down/broken lol. Seems like this event is a bit of a shit show, however it sounds like there are areas to camp (or hotel it) where you can avoid this.

I want to just go to an event and race with "adults" who can have just a beer or two around the fire at night and then go to bed and get up for all day racing action.

We have the mitsu cruise for the whole partying/car event I don't see how people would want to party and then get up to race anyway...maybe I am getting old but shit the next day after partying I am out of commission now a days lol.

Yes yes, who would want to do this? Seems like a horrible plan

Frankly I never think about this and its pretty amazing what I put myself through and furthermore how much I saw Brandon/Toothy drink Fri/Sat only to wake up and conquer the entire TTS field....unreal.

Live a little guys! Everything in moderation of course but this is still IMHO a great weekend event to have fun with friends and put the smack down on the entire BIR track. Yes, do take the next week (or two?) to recover.
