2009 MAPerformance Sport Compact Proving Grounds / July 10th-11th @ BIR Brainerd, MN

[Grr]

that was hands down the most fun ive had at a event put on by forum members and not a BIR major event, Ive got some pretty funny pics i need to upload, have 3 videos of my runs in the link in my sig

And yes, to you regular dumbfucks that are all talk, imagine that you didnt show like usual and missed an all around badass event

[bubba]

sounded like a blast, wish I could have gone to watch... does it sound like they'll do it again next year?

It was a fun event, but it would have been better with a better turnout. I think starting things on Friday probably hurt that a bit.

The track was real strict on the rules, both Matt and I got talked to a couple times, I ran a best of 8.20 but the track was having none of that. So I started letting off at the 1000' cone. I ended up getting matched against the #1 qualifier the first round, he ran a 8.42 and I let off to a 8.7 something and my day was done.

I got some pretty funny pics from Fri night, I'll get some of those posted up after a while.

Um, prolly has something to do with the cage being cert'd for 8.50. (Like Matt and Bill)

I was unaware of the high price of pre cut firewood these days. And how crazy logs get when you drag them that you need a guy to hold it down.

Some pics we got this weekend.

Kelly

The most obnoxious car in the world

IMO, the best race of the weekend.

Travis.....11.47

Rear engine Prelude

[Grr]

this made me LOL

[KA-T_240]

Travis, you melt those pistons like the white wrx wagon owner was saying you would?

[z31]

That was funny how the white subaru wagon guy was talking down to you guys. I think he was talking out of his ass. For some reason there was a lot of that going on at BIR this weekend. :icon_geek:

[Joel]

Looks like you guys had a blast, wish I could have made it.
