that would be cool to have one in fargo

I agree, if would be a lot of fun to have one here, as much as I like drag racing, AutoX is much more fun to do and watch IMHO.

An auto cross in the area would be awesome, i have been traveling several hours to get in them now, it would be sweet to have one around here.Also the SCCA is talking about hosting one in fargo next year.
Yeah, I hoped to travel to one, but I"m afraid of breaking the car....I can trailor it home from Fargo, but any farther is pushing it.
Any idea where they were talking about hosting one at?

The dome was talked about at one point in time, but I think the cost to rent the parking lot was crazy. Are the fairgrounds in W Fargo paved (like the mid-way area where the rides are)? That might be big enough to pull off an event.
I tell you what, when I win the powerball jackpot I'll build a track here, ok?

Ok, I lied, if I win the powerball I'm going someplace warmer to build a track....

sounds good!
Yeah, what little I have heard about the dome all consists of outrageous prices.
Faigrounds was one idea I started looking in to...
I was looking at satellite images for the Fairgrounds (yes, I"m a loser like that) and all of the mid-way area is paved IIRC...and looks plenty big for an AutoX (with parking next to buildings and such)Also thinking about the Moorhead Airport. They've got 2 runways and only run (listed) 77 aircraft/week...looks like a good bit of additional paved area as well. They host the wings and wheels show out there, so this might be a possibility...

What about the Mall? Team up with Sears or something. It would be smaller course but designed right it could be fun.

I highly doubt any part of the mall would shut down a large enough section of parking lot for an AutoX....not to mention the amount of "crap" in many of those parking lots (needs to be free of curbs and light poles preferably)

We do not have a date yet. But we are having an event in the Fargo Dome lot. The badlands SCCA asked be if I would sponsor the lot so they could have the event. Of course! So we will be having atleast one in Fargo and one in Grand Forks for 2005. And sorry I didn't say anything earlier, I was going to post it over our long boring winter. To give everyone something to chear about. And see now you made me ruin it.

Way to go Shane! Hook us up with an AutoX, hey did Jason tell you I might need those stock exhaust components. Give me a PM if you can quote me a price on that!

Can't wait to see a date. Might have to make a trip back to the old hometown from the cities for this one.
