MAPerformance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27 Brainerd, MN

^^If they carry 93 that would be fantastic, as i have noticed that some BP's out of the cities hardly sell 93!

 

I believe the BP right next to BIR has 93

 

yes one of the three stations have at least 93

 

I think you are confusing the regular autocross with the high-speed autocross. They are two different events. There will be open lapping interspersed with the high-speed runs.

Saturday:
Drag Racing: $25
Drift: $25
AutoX: $25
Openg Lapping: $150

Sunday:
Drag Racing: $25
Drift: $25
AutoX: $25
Open Lapping+Super AutoX: $150

I think... :???:

Does the Wisconsin club have two timing systems? Since you would need one doing the "normal" autocross and one for the high-speed. Unless they are going to do all the high-speed runs in the morning then move the system over to the small course?

 

the open lapping will not be timed.... so the timing equipment will be used for the small autox saturday, and the road course sunday.

 

Not confused really... just wondering since it IS an autoX, but with more speed, is it still the autoX price or is it not because it's taking place on the track.

 

Wow a buck fifty for a super duper autox. I am just curious how many would do it, cuz it's no where near what's being advertises.

Well it's starting to sound like two different types of events not one of the same kind.

 

^ so maybe think of it as $150 for open lapping on Sunday, with breaks along the way to do some timed runs...? It's not $150 just for the timed super-autox.

So the Sunday "small" autox is not timed? Or will it be timed with stopwatches? Does that mean Saturday will be the autox competition day?

 

sorry, i will make sure to fix it tomorrow when I get to work... there WILL NOT be a parking lot autox on sunday only the timed high speed event on the track. after discussing it with those helping us with the event, we agreed that if people want to do a timed autox they would probably do the event on the road course, and not many people would participate in the parking lot autox. so we have decided to only offer the parking lot autox on saturday.

 

ADAM. what is the prices for everything.

 

the prices are in the first post.

 

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 [email protected] with any questions!

 

Can further clarify....150 for the super duper High speed Autox? And will there be a slalom and other various challenges along the way?

 

Yes. $150 per day for the road course. Saturday will be lapping, sunday will practive lapping and a timed event. This will be run the same as every event on the road course, no cones will be added to the track.

 

I want to get some feedback from you guys on ideas for Saturday night entertainment for Proving Grounds? BIR is offering a local cover band, but I thought perhaps there may be some better options out there. Please understand our budget for something like this is quite minimal, so please let's be inventive. What kind of ideas do you have?

 

Can you clear up my confusion on camping? Fri night/Sat night or Sat night/Sun night? I am planning to run on Sat only, trying to figure out if I need to get up at 4am to get there, or if I can show up on Fri eve.


Oh, one more thing...what are the safety requirements for the lapping?


Thanks!

 

Will you guys have any loaners helmet? or will we be require to bring our own helmet?

 

You will be able to come on for camping on friday night. Safety requirements are just the usual pants, long sleeve shirt, helmet, and then your car will have to pass a simple tech inspection.

 

You will need to bring your own helmet.

 

Thanks guys to everyone who has taken the time to pre-register for the Road Course. It looks like it's going to be a great showing. Anyone who hasn't please take the time to click the link in the first post and get yourself registered!

 

Thanks. Plan to see you there....

 

I will be camping friday night only. MAYBE saturday. But I plan on doing some drag racing and some autoX. Looking forward to it!

 

come on tony,I want to chase you around the track.

 

I'm thinking about drag racing my LGT wagon, total newb though and have never gone to a drag strip. I see its open from 9am-6pm, do we have to be there by 8am if we're just doing a few runs later in the day? For drag racing do we still need pants and long sleeve shirt or are shorts OK? Any tips or things I should remember to bring?

 

No you don't have to be there by 8am, tech will run all day. It is all just up to you and how many runs you'd like to get in. Yes you will still needs pants for the drag racing, and a helmet. Other then that I guess I don't have any suggestions. Your camping equipment... It will be a good time. I look forward to seeing everyone out there.

BTW I found out that they will open the grounds for camping at 5PM on Friday evening.

 

Is anyone from maple grove or duluth coming that has some room to haul stuff... I have a 2.5rs rear seat i need from maple grove and a sti axle-back from duluth delivered...

 

So if you run under the NHRA specified times for a cage are they going to kick you out or will it be ok ???

 

Hey bubba, its sam from Fergus...i may be able to swing thru maple grove and throw that seat in the trailer with my bike....pm me if you need me to.

 

they will most likely kick you out.

 

Do like DaveH's Supra last year and run half passes for ****s and giggles...

 

Dave's Supra has a new cage for this year, so it will be game on, haha...

 

Yeah I heard about that...should be sick!

 

is he running there? so far he hasn't even came out to the local track that i know of...

 

so..... who wan race????

 

^^ depends on what you got under the hood that day.

 

Gymkhana, 1320, Lapping or by foot? LOL

I don't think it's going to make that much of a difference.

 

I have some other questions that I guess hasn't been ask.

1. Will we be able to take passengers along or do they have to be registered drivers?

2. Will a certify driving instructor be able drive along?

 

There will be certified instructor's available for drive along.

I will post up once I have the answers on if passengers will be allowed.

 

Only 11 days until the event.... Post up if you plan on coming.

 

I am gonna be driving 8hrs-9hrs for the event. =P

 

Are we still going to have lapping in between the "High Speed AutoX" on Sunday???

 

U Crazy!

The current forecast is rain on Sunday, so the Subies might have a slight advantage. Don't forget your wet tires. LOL

 

the lapping will take place more in the morning, with the timed runs in the afternoon to my understanding...

Brainerd is beating us up over the Road Course stuff... if you have not pre-registered and plan on running the road course for either or both days please pre-register at the link:
