Condo? I made a mistake last year by not camping out at the track. Won't make that mistake again, I'm tenting it this year!!

Haha, I'm looking forward to this!

Were you there for the E85 supplied campfire? Had a great time camping with some mitsustyle folks and wandering around after midnight to see who was still up working on their cars.

From that post I think everyone that has met me, can tell that you have not.

On the camping thing, I need my shower the next morning so I'm not sure what is going on, plus I think an individual here might be celebrating his last night of freedom with us at the track, although he is whipped/chained already.

Hmmm, I've got two imports, so I'll probably be driving the one that runs. Is the road course set up as the short or long course? I'm thinking short if there's drag racing running simultaneously.

If they are using the strip at the same time, it will be the short course. The long course includes the drag strip. Still should be able to go 130s on the short course.

I believe I was gone before that happened, trying to drive 1.5miles with a busted rear axle haha. Only made it as far as motel haha.

**v8klla** · 04-10-2010

Correct, competition course only for the road racing.

**goodhart** · 04-11-2010

Well, just figured out I'm the best man in my buddies' wedding this same weekend.

I'll try like hell to make it up that Sunday for day two of racing. My bro should be up there with both his trucks also.

So for those making the long trip is there any way to camp over the night on Friday?

**maperformance** · 04-26-2010

yes. the track has told us you will be able to camp Friday night.

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-26-2010

Ok thanks!

**v8klla** · 05-14-2010

Road Course pre-registration link was added to the very top of the original post. If you plan on coming please take the time to pre-register, we WILL NOT collect money until you show up at the event. However, this will help us gauge attendance for this event being it is the first year of it. Thanks again! We look forward to seeing anyone out. Please e-mail blake@maperformance.com with any questions!

Acording to BIR's schedule the Jags Midwest Diesel Challenge is going on at the same time as the Proving Grounds. How will this work? I wouldnt mind wooping up on some of my buddies with Diesel trucks. Will it be allowed?

**v8klla** · 05-28-2010

My understanding is that the diesel group will be on the smaller side and only running on Saturday for a short period of time.

santa · 05-28-2010

We should do some pit bike racin!!!

**maperformance** · 05-31-2010

I hope everyone has there cars ready...... it's coming fast.

**Tachyon** · 06-01-2010

Question for all that go or have been to BIR:

I've got my battery relocated in the rear of my talon. It's secure in an externally vented box. Do you think they are going to require me to have an external battery shutoff switch to pass tech for the drag track?

I thought that is a requirement for relocated batteries.

I believe it's an NHRA requirement, but not sure how strict the tech is. I'd rather not have to cut a hole in my car, but I will if I have too, I guess...
