Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
Just seeing when everyone was headed up to the MAP Proving Grounds in 2 weeks? Would be fun to get a caravan from Style headed north.
Edit: This would be on Friday, the 21st.

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
I plan to be in Minneapolis around 3pm or so, would like to take a small break and then drive the rest of the way. I might be able to leave earlier if the group wants to leave at 3.

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
3 sounds like a decent time to leave... I'll probably work a half day, eat a really ridiculous lunch, then meet up with whoever wants to roll out.

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
I'm still trying to figure out how I can get off work to go. Sounds like I have Saturday off, but the other days may be tough.

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
I kind of want to go to this but haven't fully decided. Any set time you guys planning on heading up? I'd want to ask for the day off or a half day sooner than later so my boss doesn't hate me

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
Probably head out around 3-3:30 on Friday. We could meet up on the north west side easy enough.

It could be, for the cost of gas both ways. I can comfortably haul 3 passengers too. |

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
Not sure which day I should try to make it up there. I am supposed to work Friday Saturday and Sunday, but I'm thinking I may use my first sick day ever for either Saturday or Sunday. I'll have to look at the schedule up there before I decide.
Edit: looks like Saturday will have more racing, but Sunday is eliminations. Hrm. Decisions decisions.

EP is a good spot to meet. Let's meet at Rainbow Foods, on the north side of 5. Andrew, you think you can make 3:00?

Sounds like a plan.. See you all at 3:00...
For anyone else that plans on camping on the grounds, Team MKR will be camping near the road course. We plan on trying to stay away from the youngster riff-raff, but will be having a good time parting in our car trailers with lots of mosquito repellent. |
