I consider a T/A as much of a sport compact as a Supra, but the T/A is lighter(ok maybe not in this case)...

I stopped in at MAP a while back when in Mpls. They said the track came to them and asked them to put a sport compact event together and pretty much said that they wanted it to be a sport compact exclusive event. Now, I don't disagree about the TA not being any less compact than a Supra, but I think the track owners/mgmt feel that it is more of their "traditional" type of race car (american car with a SBC V8). From what they (MAP) told me, they tried to get them to relax the rules, but the track was pretty adamant about their rule on this for this event so it was out of MAP's hands.

Just passing along the info that I have heard straight from the horses mouth.

Does anyone know if the track is open Thursday night for us to get in?

[z31]

[KA-T_240]

Dave, best way to figure that out would probably be trying to contact MAP Directly, or posting on MNSC.

And why Dave was back in town so early this evening?

It wasn't the best setup, but things went well for the first year I think. Turn out was really low, which sucked, but anyone who didn't go is an idiot. $35 for unlimited drag/drift/auto-x/car show and camping. They had a band that was actually decent and fireworks. I had a great time, but was really dissappointed that the turnout wasn't better.

Dave and Matt had a bit of a bad day, but nothing horrible. Hopefully some people will post some pics and that, i didn't take any.
