Ive decideds not to race up there. It would cost me to much to prepare my car for the track. I do not feel like destroying my brakes either. I am going to watch though.

All you would need to start are brake pads and a helmet......

do I have to have a F-body to run? what if I use an evo? can I still do it?

Goat Roper
03-06-2007, 01:58 PM
Yes, anybody can run out there. Last time I saw the list it was full of other cars running, including an EVO or two.

SSmike1
03-06-2007, 08:43 PM
ALL makes and models are welcome!
:)

you are grouped by Experience,

and In your Experience Level,

when your Group goes out to run,
go to the Front of the line, ( get there early)
If you are fast and/or have a faster car, Viper, Vette, etc...
or
Show up Later starting at the Back of the pack,
if you are taking it easy, or have a Slower car.
:thumbsup

its a blast!

I wouldn't mind riding along at that event. Only problem is I'm in the Twin Cities.

Kind of funny how I only saw three f-body in that video at an MFBA event.

This might be the first time that the event doesn't sell out; at least that I remember. The extended weather forecast is $hitty, mid 40's and rain. Of course the weathermen can't predict one hour from now.

GTSLOW

Hehe I remember the year I went with the s10. It rained pretty nice on Saturday, they still let us out. Boy was that fun :D Remember doing a 360 and staying on the track coming out of T6 I believe.

Isn't that the truth. WTF is up with the damn weather.....

Do 315/35/17s float on the snow? or should I use my "skinny" 275's?

It's really tempting me to just take out my dd honda out just to have some fun. I'll see if i can get another friend to go and i'll probably go. I've been wanting to for a while.

oh actually i was just reading over the rules and it seems like i wouldn't pass inspection since my windshield has some small cracks......... how strict are they usually with that?

04-11-2007, 02:29 AM
will they have a rain/snow date? or just a 1 time thing?

Pretty strict. Sorry, but thanks for reading the rules in advance though.

If you cant drive the track, come on up anyways. Ride alongs are allowed & you can see how the event is run so you know what to expect WHEN YOU RETURN to participate in the October event!

I might be down for Sunday, I will beg someone for a ride along :)
