They tested mine to make sure it worked last year. That was with the license plate off though, I'm not 100% sure he would have noticed my battery wasn't under the hood if he didn't noitce the switch. You will need one if you trap 135+ and if you're going that quick they might be a little more strict.

I think most of the mitsu's there were running faster than 11.5 and I didn't hear many people saying they were talked to for running too fast. Nobody ever said I word to me and I wasn't exactly completely legal on most things besides the cut off switch. haha

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Ok, cool thanks man. No, I doubt my car will trap faster than 115. I'll bring with the switch and some tools and if they complain, I'll install one on location.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I am going to have one hell of a tool stash up there so if anyone needs anything let me know.

We can have an unofficial Style pit area

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I like that Idea. My Special Tool I Call It The Key Of Death! Little allen wrench to adjust my Boost Controller ;) I still think we should have a Forum shoot out!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I think a style pit area would be KEEN! perhaps someone can post a pic of the grounds, and we can figure what area to steal?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Last year alot of us were right around this area. (red circle) It was a real nice area, close to the action but with some shade. I have a feeling this year will be alot more packed.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

That's an awesome idea. We'll need a banner. Can I get the Mitsustyle logo in EPS format?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

That's a good idea, MN 3/S has one that they seem to bring to all the big events like this, cookout, carcraft, etc

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

11 days.... post up if you're planning on coming out!!!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'm there!

Who all is showing up Friday?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I won't be there I'm afraid damn National Guard drill weekend BS at camp ripley, trust me I'm not happy about this.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'll be heading up Friday after work camping at my Grandparents, and will be at the track when the gates open Saturday morning.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'll be there, maybe with a car? If MAP wants to hook me up with some deals that's is ;)

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'm hoping to get up there with the GSX. I'm still building the motor so it's hit or miss at this point, and I've got the kids that weekend, but I'm hoping to get there one way or another.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'm coming up for the weekend, no car to race.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I plan on going for sure.

Brian, where are you staying on Friday night?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I will be heading up there for sure with my TSi. Probably arrive early morning Saturday.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

We plan on leaving the cities at 2pm Friday afternoon.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I will be leaving on Friday at 2pm as well.. Looks like Tony wants to meet with me on the way up to arrive at the same time.. Not sure if he talked about this or not?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

He did. You are camping next to us. We spoke of this at work. Brandon's going, and Brian is towing my car up there. Not surewhom else is going st that time. Mark lesure is coming Friday evening, and I though Trevor scheides and crew are as well..Not sure though.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Does it cost more to go on friday?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'll be driving the "MAP big rig" up friday! Should have 3 rather fast cars in the trialer to boot. Plus some dirt bikes I'm thinking. :)

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I'm really confused with pricing, so is it $30 per person to camp and spectate for friday-sunday? do we also have to pay $10 a day for entry? If going in a group, do we need to pay that camping price for the group?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Just go AWOL, it's close enough to the track ;)

Hopefully at the track, otherwise I have a buddy up in Brainerd

I believe I read it costs extra to Camp Friday. I want to make sure I get a prime spot and a jump om tech in the morning.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I am in, even got Friday off to boot!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Working on getting friday and sat off....

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

YEah mutha fuckers, i just called in.

Sad thing is though I'm sure i will get reamed for it down the road, oh well.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Camping is included with the $20 two day pass :)

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Guys, I am for sure going, and I think anna might come too. I'm not sure if we're gonna go up friday night or just early saturday and stay till sunday. We will DEFINITELY have to setup a MitsuStyle.com paddock. I'll have my tent, does anyone else have one they could bring? Does anyone have a grill they could bring? Coolers, food, etc let's do this!

I wanted to stay in the condos, but it sounds like they may be all full. Is the camp sight near where we could do work on cars?

*edit* I see they have a bunch of different types of camping:
http://brainerdraceway.com/drag-raci...amenities.html

Racer pit stall camping, is that what we gonna do? The thought of packing up and moving stuff all weekend sounds aweful.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Also, I'm thinking of doing drag one day and autoX another day. Anyone else wanna split up like that, or do you guys wanna do 100% drag?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

I will be coming up sat after work so I wont be there till 4:30pm not sure where I am going to stay yet either I do have a tent though.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

the $30 is only if you need a spot for a camper. Otherwise your $20 admission for the weekend (or $10/day) covers your weekends camping.

*edit* Chris beat me to it.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Brainerd is beating us up over the Road Course stuff... if you have not pre-registered and plan on running the road course for either or both days please pre-register at the link:

http://www.maperformance.com/forms/pg2010/form.html

We appreciate everyone's help and support, and when we make this a big, successful event we will be able to make it better every year!!!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Drag for me..about all I can do.

As for camping, working on cars in the grass isn't tat easy. I say we camp in the put area, just bring some air mattresses. When I campedthere last year for the MCSO it wasn't that bad at all.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

There is a ton of grassy areas around the paved pit areas to the side and behind the drag strip, perfect place to set up camp and work on your cars. Plus there are some buildings with cement floors that are usually always open during events, that's where we fixed our Chump car and a bunch of dragsters came in to get out of the rain.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Lets not speak of rain for this event. Hopefully it's nice out.

Thanks for clearing up the pricing map!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

So if the full 2.5mile road course is being used for open lapping, and the drag strip (long south end along the bleachers?), where will the high speed autoX be taking place?

http://brainerdraceway.com/images/st...course_505.gif

MAP, do you have an updated map (even with scribbles?) of what event is happening where? And where the tech inspections and driver's meeting will be held?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

The high speed autox will be on the road course both days (Saturday will not be timed) as they are one in the same. The standard autox (Saturday only with timing) and drifting will be in the large parking lot as it was last year.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Perhaps we could find a spot that we could kinda meet halfway, camp in the grass but be literally right next to pavement for wrenching? This sounds best to me. Either way, I say we setup a big'old mitsustyle camping/pit area together?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Exactly. Can't describe it any better than that.
