..and last, but not least I'd like to welcome a new Event Master, our very own Tim Anderson (Tim The Plumber)

MNSOC will be serving lunch to raise funds for a very special little girl!​

Her name is Kira Roberts. She's 11 years old and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She had a tumor removed from her neck a few months back and is now just starting to go back to school. So she is on the fast track to recovery!

We need to pool together not only as a club, but as a community to help ease the stress of the piling medical bills. So please remember to give, and give generously.

They also have a fund set up through USBank if anyone wanted to make a donation that way. It can be made at any USBank location under the name of Kira Roberts.

As an added bonus, Kira and her family will be at this event!

Just look for the MNSOC sign around lunch time. Our fearless event master, Tim the Plumber, will be sure to point you all in the right direction.

Food will be:
Brats
Hot dogs
Chips
Soda/water
Potato Salad (NO choice of potato fyi )

I will NOT want to take IOU's. So please remember that.

Kira's family, The MNSOC Officers, MNSubaru Moderators, MNSubaru Admin, and the Event Coordinators all thank you for any and all support!

Ill be there and hopefully on my game this time!

 

Me too. And me too.

 

I'm in! New venue? Heck yeah! New event master? As long as Da Plumber doesn't go flashing around his trademark, it should be a good time (unless you're into crack). :laugh:

 

I'm in! Hopefully I can do as well at this event too!

 

Crack kills!

 

Any word on when the previous event results will be up?

 

im going to try hard and get this day off so we will see. sucks being the day before easter.

 

I'll find out

 

rally rally rally.


lets talk surface

Gravel corcoran style? silt Cannon falls style? Grass pease style?

somewhere inbetween?

 

if i get work off i will be there.

 

I would say mostly it's like the Pease site. It's grass with some small bits of gravel.

If you drive by the site, it's the parking lot to the west of the track. It's a grass field that's been packed down a little bit by all the years of having spectator cars parked on it.

Does that kind of sum it up Grandpa Dave?

 

fixt!

 

Yes it is....although the surface conditions are not entirely like that anymore....

I'm going down there again today to discuss some misc. items with the property manager.....man they are excited to have us!!!!

 

results will be delayed at last a few more days (unless someone else does them and sends them to the scca-lol webmaster). Life's been less than pleasant the last couple of weeks.

 

Bump, on the calendar.

Hope i can make it out for my first race

EDIT: lame my inlaws are coming to town and i already dropped $500 on twins tickets for them that day. i guess next time.

 

is there a schedule for this one, like what times things are getting started and everything?

 

updated 1st post

 

So I decided to take my mind off things and did the results.

I will not be making this one, I'll be in Iowa.

 

thanks Mark!

 

Update

We visited with the property manager and checked out the site again on Friday, it's going to be an exciting venue. The property is already drying out with only a few snow banks remaining.

Raceway Park is also very excited about the opportunity to work with the Land O' Lakes Region of the SCCA and collectively we hope to make this event a stepping stone for bigger and better opportunities for our region!!!

This is going to be so much fun!!!!!!:biggrin:

 

Next month already? have carl, myself and dave install the motor, we have done it at least 9 times on the rally car.

 

...but Sheen has experience with timing belts! lol....

BUMP FOR MOAR PEOPLE TO SIGN UP!!!!!!

 

Noob Q... What an FRS Radio?

 

its fancy for walky talky (spelling)

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service

 

just you typical moterola / cobra push to talk radios. They can normally be picked up at any best buy radio shake or electronics store for a bout 30 bucks or so. I am going to try and track down the MNSOC wants to have for rent for 5 bucks.

This is what I use
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorol...=1209165020761&skuId=8824604&st=FRS&cp=1&lp=7

I am so pumped for this rally the coarse is gonna be AWESOME!!!!

 

Wait so you need to bring walky talkys? I have some somewhere.

 

Yes you need to bring hand held FRS (AKA walky talkies) so when you are on course you can call in hit cones and help with communication from from timing and scoring.

I'm really looking forward for this everyone sign up!! we are fast approaching April 3rd. We have a great location probably one of the best courses we will see all year!

 

Yea I should be able to depends on the family plans for Easter...

 

I might be in. big question for me is tires. Do you think that this course would be manageable with summer tires (RT-615s)? I really dont want to ruin my Hakkas by running them on gravel on a hot day.

 

Is this open to beginners? I've never done any autocross or rallycross, but I'm very interested in this event!

 

Hmm, sweet! I'm very tempted. How many people usually participate? All types of cars? (Would I be the only Evo? )

 

we would love to see you Evo out there! Last time I saw one at a rallyX was at corchran and the guy took 1st in M4 i believe.

 

Awesome! Is there a date that I need to register by? Also, do you have a link that explains the classes? Oh and, good place to buy helmets?

Thanks for the info.

Bob's cycle, it's in st. paul

This is what I rock: http://www.bobscycle.com/browse.cfm/4,107282.html

 

Sweet! Thanks for the info!

 

Make sure that whatever helmet you get is SNELL 2005 or better so that you can use it for a few years. I made the mistake of not checking when purchasing a helmet and now I can't use it for anything.

 

The site is looking real good!!!
