BIR Wednesday night July 31rst

[CornFed2.4]

BIR opens the track to anyone with a helmet, a valid drivers license and a street-legal car, truck or motorcycle. The gates open at 4 p.m. You can make as many runs as possible until the track closes at dusk

This is the next Wednesday night drag event at BIR and I really wanna make this date.

Anyone else wanna go up? Liter bikes?

I know Tom (blackawdtsi) wants to get to the track. He'll need to trailer out though so gives plenty of time for planning it out.

We could all meet off 169 in Princeton and caravan out.

I'm down to ride along and watch/pit for you guys.

But lets get some street time on your car before you go racing.

My b-day is the 31st. I hope to at least make it up there, if not participate. Would make for a good day.

My tuning date is on the 31st at noon. If it all goes good, I would be down to go check it out.

[turbotalon1g]

His work got pushed back to friday after this so I think he is game for going as long as the car is ready.

I'll be down to watch.

[CornFed2.4]

Im planning on going. I do work Wednesday though but gona try to get as inch done Tuesday since its a 2 day job.

[turbotalon1g]

i work in saint louis park until 4pm.

[CornFed2.4]

Looks like the rules state a 2000 snell rating. Anyone have a helmet to borrow or sell?

[turbotalon1g]

I have one that I need to sell.
I'll check the date, unless you have some kiggly parts or something that I need.

I might have to see if I can make it. I would like to get some base times and a base dyno on the bimmer.

[tehehodi]

Really?! Snell 2000?! Last time I was there they wanted snell 2005! That was a year ago. What gives? I have an open face one I can let go for stupid cheap, collects dust on top of the entertainment stand.

[CornFed2.4]

At least that's what th rules say on there page may I have to call and confirm.

Do it!

[goodhart]

Just so you know they don't ever give a fuck about helmet ratings on Wednesday nights.

[CornFed2.4]

I got one. But I have different issues now so we'll see if I can get it fixed in time

[Dark2g]

Last year when I did a Wednesday at BIR night I almost didn't get to race cause helmet rating, I believe it needs to be snell 2005 or greater and mine was 2000. I think each tech guy is is a little less or more thorough then the next or something. I wouldn't make a 2 hr drive without the right lid if it were me.

[CornFed2.4]

I got a snell 2005.

[turbotalon1g]

woot!
Get tom to rent a trailer and drive your van, I'll bring the candy!

[CornFed2.4]

Don't get to excited still have to fix mine. Lol. Should hopefully get it done tomorrow.
