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

Getting her ready for BIR!

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

Ok so were are we setting up camp? I got a few more people going, and a few ladies whom live in the area want to pit near and will be setting up Friday morning. So, those of you going, ideas? I need to relay this info to them...

I feel like takin the week off just to get packed and ready, and the car done..hmmmm

My 3 favorite pics of all time:
1. Brandon laying on the sidewalk in boxers.
2. Andrew on Brandon's couch holding a dumbbell after pissing himself while asleep.
3. Brandon shirtless jerking off an intercooler pipe.

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

^Gross. but hilarious.

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

Just shirtless??? Do you see any pants

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

Swifty, I am setting up camp right about where we were last year

Brian pointed it out though truth be told we were more to the left. There is shade and plenty of area to camp and have a fire.

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

I think we should just camp at the same place we were last year. Only bad thing about where we were, is we were on the opposite side of the track as the bleachers were. So I felt like I was constantly going between our campsite and the bleachers for getting videos and what-not.

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

There are bleachers on both sides of the track....

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

Close to the pits though for drag racing! Not everyone is drag racing and honestly the only time I was hanging out at the site was at night and when I was working on my car, otherwise I was walking around BSing with everyone or racing.

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

I am so lost on what to do, I don't think that I want to camp. I will probably drive up both days, my brother is going the auto-x so I don't want to miss that but I do want to see some of style's best doing some passes.

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

Man up and come up! :)

Quick question, what is the best place to get good unleaded pump gas up there? I know we're somewhat spoiled with BP93 in the metro area and it's rare elsewhere. Or is there a station in front of the track that carries some (decent) 100 octane or something that I could pour a few gallons into my tank?

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

I was thinking the same thing! But more towards e85. Looks like st.cloud has some and Baxter. Baxter looks to be about 10-15 mins from the track.

Scheides can't ya just add some octane booster to that ish ;) lol

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

Yeah, it's not far at all. When I go up to the track I bring four 5-gal cans with me. The Evo X has a horrendous trunk and even it can hold that.

Yes.

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

OK, so camp is at that red dot? Is it all grass? they got power outlets?

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

St. Cloud has like 3 or 4 E85 stations, Brainerd has one that I know of, I think it's a Holiday Station on the right hand side if you are coming from the metro area.

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

Just verified E85 is available at:

Super America
14398 Dellwood Dr.
Baxter, MN 56425
218-828-1341

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

If you fill up in the Cities you'll arrive with plenty of gas to run autocross and drag, ~110 miles from Rogers.

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

Something not quite right about that second picture, can't quite put my finger on it. :)

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

I'm coming up I just don't know about staying and shit.

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

If you don't want to camp, what about getting a cheap hotel room in Brainerd? If you drive back and forth twice, that'll probably cost you a tank of gas ($30 or so). Plus 4hrs or so of extra driving. You might be able to just find a hotel for like $50 for Saturday night.

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

I'm going up Saturday.

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

Thats what I was thinking Bman, I will talk to my peeps and see whats up.

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

Pretty much all grass and no power outlets but actually has some shade which is nice. There are plenty of slabs back in the turn 10 corner where Map and Kiggly were (don't know about power there)

The area we were in had open slabs near by, and was really close to the strip/return lane. If anyone broke I would imagine someone who was running would lend their stall for an overnight repair (worst case). http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...nion/BIR-1.gif

Brandon swaped his rear axle in the grass :D

I have a feeling it's going to be a much bigger turn out this year. Maybe we should have a dedicated Style pit and a dedicated campsite.

I'll have a big EZ-up out there too

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

Just got done boost leak testing up to 30psi. So far so good!

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

Rounded up parts for a ghetto killswitch tether. Hopefully Tech wont make me install it on the bike. I don't want to drill no holez

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

Ya that area is were I remember..power being there. I have a friend and she lives right by the track..will be setting up friday morning. We shall see..

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

I didn't want to drill any holes either so I ordered one from this site http://www.pmrcomponents.com/ . replaces the clamp on your brake lever. should get it tomorrow hopefully.

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

Sunoco has 110 at the pump right across Hwy 371 from BIR. And there is a BP station right next to the track but only has 91.

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

I'm just going up on saturday for the day. I am going to try and get there for 9:30.
Weather looks like shit, 40% chance of storms sat. and 20% sunday. I'll wait to see what day i'm heading up i guess

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

You guys think I'll pass tech with only lap belts for harnesses instead of having the full 5 point harnessess installed?

You'll only need to if you run 10.99 or faster y0.

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

I need a helmet, anyone have one I could borrow? Size prolly be a L.

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

Yes, I think they will give you shit about it. Lets fix that oil leak and install a harness. I wanna see a 10.7 this year.


That's what NHRA rules say but both years MAP has posted this

Don't know if BIR said everyone had to have it or not. Hopefully I don't need it


I have an extra but it's an older Snell. You could always go to tech with a newer one and then run with mine ;)

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

That'd be shitty if they make you have one, I was kinda hoping to bring my bike up and I don't have a tethered switch or full leathers. I wanna see you rip that shibby up.

I'll probably work on it a bit tonight and Thursday, if you wanna come over and have a beer and help you're more than welcome! I just wanna trap a little over 140 before something breaks, then I'll be pumped.

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

Well if they follow NHRA rules we won't need one. Bring an extra lanyard and I'll bring the rest (just incase)


If my trailer doesn't fall through I still have a spot for your bike.

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

Are you saying you only have lap belts, and that's it? No stock shoulder strap or anything?


Do you have a cage and everything too? I forget :)

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

Yep, just have a kirkey and a lap belt. Been too busy to screw around with a harness bar to use the full 5 point harness. No cage or anything, hope they're as strict as they were last year ;)

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

^I want to see u trap 142 or better i think thats the record for stock bottom end

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

if u could bring it that would be swell!

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

Who's bringing a grill? I'd like to bring some meat and cook it instead of spend massive ammounts of money at stands or something.
