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

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.

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

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.

sure did haha, they had to use the truck to pull because they popped a tire in the 50 on one of there log pulls lolI 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.
