Yeah, if you know it'll break, might as well try to find someone to share a car with if you're going to be doing anything.

I sure do wanna go, but I'll still here in OK, although I think their auto-x and/or road racing starts next month.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
So update, I'm highly considering doing the MAC Novice school on April 24-25th:
http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/...event_id=10838
Rosey expressed interest too. $50 for 1 day of classroom and 1 day of autoX, should be great fun! Might just get me over my cone-dodging jokes
Who all is thinking about doing the BMW event on May 15-16? We're talking about doing he spring dyno day that weekend, and I wanna exclude as few people as possible.
Also, what's going on drag-wise late May, early June? Seems like a good time to go.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
I'm already signed up for the MAC school. The treasurer sent me an email last night because I didn't fill out the form completely. Oops.
Dyno day is fine. Birperformance does HPDE at BIR like 4+ days per month all summer long. I'm not concerned about not finding track time or anything...

Online registration. It didn't specify anything about mail-ins so I did.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
Updated first post w/ some tenitive dates, and a link to Rock Fall's 2010 schedule.
Their first sport compact day is on April 11th. That's too near to the cruise and MAC Novice School dates for my comfort, so I think I'd like to eye a date in late May for doing drag, otherwise MAP's Proving Grounds event will be the first drag event for me. Would anyone want to go on May 22 or 23 for their testing days?

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
Sport compact days suck balls. Way too many cars and not enough runs. You can usually count on two hands how many cars are running faster than 13 seconds. Go to a test and tune or fun day.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
I really like BIR on Wednesday nights, early in the season most people can get on 15-20 runs pretty easily. Though I wouldn't mind checking out RF once this year

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
I'd kinda like to go to BIR for MAPs event in June, then again later in the summer, and hit rock falls sometime earlier in the year and/or at the end of the season. I know it'll be hard to actually make many of these, but if we can focus a group of people on one or two days, it will be tons of fun!
Would May 22/23 T&T work for people? If I do it, I want to be damn sure that if my car breaks I'm ready for MAP's event at the end of June.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
That's a possibility Mike.
Scheides, I'll prolly make the event, but no guarentees as of yet, since I'm waiting on things to settle down and the car to come together..
