Would that have a ton of people breaking out then?
But i guess that might make some try to drive better. I like the idea matt, I'm just saying.

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.

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.

^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!

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.

Yeah the turnout for the Lapping Day was somewhat a disapointment, except for those that did show up. everyone got way more their fill of track time! open track all day, on a great track, with a great crew, made for one hell of a fun day out there!!!

hopefully next year some more people will try it out. I'm sure next year will be FREE RIDES for all around the track again, hopefully that's enough to get some more of you interested! it's well worth your time & money!! (especially when it's FREE RIDES) I'm sure anyone in the CWSCC crew would be more than happy to hand out rides if needed. You'll be hooked after the first lap!

**scheides** · 06-28-2010

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.

Speedfreak · 06-28-2010

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.

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

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

That's why I only ran 11.5's haha

C3L1CA · 06-28-2010

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!! · 06-28-2010

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

**Halon** · 06-28-2010

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.

My money is that trans works good when its actually bolted up.

I'm still available to drive when you are ready.

Great time out there, I plan on being there both days next year if possible.

I checked my bro's times out on the auto x and well he is looking forward to becoming a reg. at the auto x stuff.

and by Class:

The classings used were very short and easy. Maybe next year we'll do SCCA classing. What do you guys think? For those that were there, did you like the classing?

It would have helped if we knew they were going to be classed like that, I had no idea what the rules were, and you guys didn't totally seem to either

(no offense!) I ran my evoX in the MFI class(and got 7th), but based on those rules you linked above I would have been in SFI (and gotten 1st place)? Who knows, LOL. It was damn fun though, and keeping the classes big was important imho. No one wants to be top of a 3-car class, doesn't really mean anything. Now taht I actually see the rules (I didn't see these posted before the event) I really like the classing, it is really nice and simple. Maybe just have a copy of the class rules at the event and posted/linked ahead of time for next year so there's less confusion.

Also a little bit better organization at the gridding area would have helped (or maybe a small PA horn so we could hear you over the other announcer during the driver's meeting?) but people were just going to any lane when they came back in from their runs and then some people had gotten 3 runs and others only 1, that was the most un-fun part (though really not a big deal).
