[Getsideways]

im hoping this is this years gingerman if you know what i mean

[devlish]

i'm really hoping to attend. This event, and BHF (already registered) are the two i plan to attend this summer! Let me know if you need some more help running it, i'm sure that i can get out of work a day early to head over there for setup if needed

[DontStopMe]

I think MAP is running the event, not CWSCC.

[Getsideways]

It MAPs event to host you are correct, but we are running the road course and autox portion of the event though for them as they are more into the drag scene and i dont think they know what HPDE stands for

[DontStopMe]

Sweet. I'll try to make this.

[Dizmm]

yup, CWSCC will be running the lapping day, a small auto-x on saturday, and then the high speed auto-x on sunday.

[Deadly_Evolution]

So $150 for lapping $25 for auto x?

[Getsideways]

YES^ You gonna make it ?

[BLAQK]

sounds like a lot of fun festivities both days, maybe lapping day participant and spectator for the drags and drift sessions the second

[Extremedsm]

I will be there. This sounds like a fun trip!!!

[snoxracer183]

If all goes according to plan I will be going to this as well.

[TomKat]

We should talk about this tonight.

[Dizmm]

We should talk about this tonight.

I'm still waiting for Blake at MAP to get back to me with a few more details. He's working with Bill at Brainerd and should have the info I need by tomorrow.

[devlish]

i'm IN!

[SgtRauksauff]

this sounds like a certain AE86 needs to be driven on that place...


--sarge

[StephaniEvo]

As long as my work cooperates I will be there, but I won't be driving my car.

[Deadly_Evolution]

^not driving or not driving your car?

[StephaniEvo]

^Not driving, unless someone throws their keys at me to take a few fun runs or something.

[turbo chick]

I plan on going!

[mrslysly]

Are you guys driving over that morning?

[EVILUTION]

I doubt they are as that is a long ass trip!

[Draven8795]

That's easily a five and a half to six hour trip. But with the speeds some of you drive it might be faster haha. My buddy has a cabin up there so I think I might go to this as well and just stay at his place.

[SgtRauksauff]

Dang. I dunno if I'll have enough time to get my corolla ready. I'm gonna try, though! If i DO go, I'll run the 22x7x13 SRF Goodyear Eagles for the lapping day, and the Hankook Z214 C51 for the HSAX. Except that's going to be a PITA for tire transportation. Dangit.

--sarge

[Dizmm]

i'm leaving friday at about 2ish.

[devlish]

^ same here i guess.

[Getsideways]

i suggest we leave closer to noon , if we have any hopes of checking out the track and getting a good nights rest .
we all know how 2 turns into 230 ,, kurts a girl. ;)

[Draven8795]

If I go I might tag along then break off in the cities to pick up my buddy then just meet up again on Saturday.

[snoxracer183]

I'll leave with the caravan as well on Friday

[devlish]

i suggest we leave closer to noon , if we have any hopes of checking out the track and getting a good nights rest .

hey, the plan was to meet at 445am, I got there at 440am. 5 mins EARLY!! it's not my fault you fockers showed up at 430am!!! you must have been borrowing Jeskes watch or something! i was proud of myself that morning, until you bitches showed me up and were there REALLY early. ass.

:-)

[mrslysly]

Ok. Hoping to have the clutch straightened out by then. If not anyone mind if I copilot?

I also need some ATE super blue. Anyone have an unopened container?

[EVILUTION]

FYI - I always flush the old with the cheapest crap I can find. Then the night before the event I flush with the good stuff.

I'd worry about a few weeks of water collection if the car had 2x as much power, 315s stickies all around and and massive brakes, and I could trail brake with it. But right now, not so.

[Draven8795]

So how do sign up for this event? Do we just go to their website? I think I'm going to wait and sign up next week incase its raining up there.

Also where is the autox held? It looks like the autox is held at the same time as the lapping portion?

[Dizmm]

^ dont do the parking lot auto-x, do the lapping day on saturday and/or the high speed auto-x on sunday.

[Draven8795]

^ dont do the parking lot auto-x, do the lapping day on saturday and/or the high speed auto-x on sunday.

Yea im doing the lapping day for sure where is the registration?

[SgtRauksauff]

hmpf. Might have to change out transmissions before then. I hope my 'spare' is better than the one currently in there!!

--sarge

[Getsideways]

Alrighty I'll be leaving point about 12:30 its a 5hour 30 min drive to brainerd anyone is welcome to caravan along , i will be headed through marshfield so if dizzle is off work in time we might hook up with him there.
I might have 1-2 open seats (in my car or a friends) so let me know if you want a ride i will try and arrange it

[Draven8795]

Where you leaving from? I'll be going about that time but as mentioned will split off in the cities.

[devlish]

^ yes, i'd like to leave with you as well. can we do 1pm? got to work till noon then swap cars, etc. unless that is too late for you.

and thanks for calling me a girl. bitch! :-)

[Getsideways]

Ill be leaving from my house in point we could meet off 186 or 13 in marshfield if youd like , you live in rapids right?

[Getsideways]

^ yes, i'd like to leave with you as well. can we do 1pm? got to work till noon then swap cars, etc. unless that is too late for you.

and thanks for calling me a girl. bitch! :-)

Bring the car to work with you ;) /Hoar.

[Draven8795]

Ill be leaving from my house in point we could meet off 186 or 13 in marshfield if youd like , you live in rapids right?

Yea but I work in point so thats where I'm leaving from. I'm taking a half day so I should be done with work by 11.

[Getsideways]

my address is 1232 lindbergh ave your welcome to come chill at the house until we take off (at closer to 1) ha mapquest and google gives us 5:15-5:58 of drive time

[Draven8795]

Yea that would probably work.

[devlish]

the car is at work with me DOOOSH. but i'd like to go home and load it up. busy week here at work, and my employee cannot come in til late morning that day, so i have to get him up to speed before i leave

but i'll be ready by 1230, so i can make it to your place well before 1.

who's staying where? dizmm said there might be a block of rooms somewhere, but not sure if there is enough beds left. Miciaashhasha, i heard you might be getting a hotel room locally, i'm in too if that's your plan. let me know

[mrslysly]

Alrighty I'll be leaving point about 12:30 its a 5hour 30 min drive to brainerd anyone is welcome to caravan along , i will be headed through marshfield so if dizzle is off work in time we might hook up with him there.
I might have 1-2 open seats (in my car or a friends) so let me know if you want a ride i will try and arrange it

I have that afternoon off and would love to go. Either taking my own car (if the shit ever gets shipped to fix it) or riding along.

[devlish]

i got room for a rider if needed

[DontStopMe]

I'd love to come but I wont be able to make it guys. Sorry.

[mrslysly]

^sweet. I probably won't know until middle of next week.

[Getsideways]

Yeah it sounds like the guys at MAP arent very certain about getting us some beds to sleep on , so i will be booking a room i already have 4 people in it so all the beds are taken , but i do have an air mattress you would be welcome to use , just LMK .

[EVILUTION]

They should pony up a cabin on the track.

[Getsideways]

Yeah i think they would but communication between the track and them is horrible

[Dizmm]

yup, i'm working with Blake at MAP, hopefully he can pull some strings.

[snoxracer183]

Andy, any idea when you will find out about this? I really want to go but I don't think I can afford to spend money to stay in a hotel and participate in the events. Either way, I will go up to help atleast. Also, I will meet up with you guys on Friday wherever and whenever you will be crossing Hwy 29 west of Wausau.

P.S. Andy you should buy those Kumho street tires from me so I have hotel monies :)

well at the very least, we can camp out there for free. i may do this as you know how much i love camping. I think i even have a big 3 room tent someplace. maybe i'll have to dig that shit out.

My plan as of now is to leave midnight friday night. then i only have to camp out one night.

Email from Blake at MAP:
As far as the condos on site go, they are completely rented out. So I couldn't guarantee everyone a bed in what we have reserved. I personally booked myself a room at the Super 8 on expedia, and used this coupon code to save some $20 bucks 10spring10.

[Dizmm]

P.S. Andy you should buy those Kumho street tires from me so I have hotel monies :)

I thought nick wanted to buy them but he's talking about selling all of his stuff.

if he doesnt want them at all, i'll give ya $100 for them.

[Deadly_Evolution]

Keeping the car, but don't plan to compete in any events as of this point on. At least with how I feel about things so far this year. I'm just flat out not having any fun at the events, and a few other "issues" to boot that just make me not want to be part of it anymore.

[TomKat]

We'll miss you. Hope things go better for you.

Alright I didn't know we could do that. I guess I'll be bringing my tent then. I'll still drive up with Micciahawea, Kurt, Noah, ect though. I actually like camping ;)

[snoxracer183]

I thought nick wanted to buy them but he's talking about selling all of his stuff.

How about $125 and I deliver them?

[Dizmm]

How about $125 and I deliver them?

you breaking my balls here eric. $110 and a taco or 2.

I don't know you or anything about your situation but in 2008 I was having the same issue with just not having fun at events.

In 2009 I made a change and bought a very different car than the ones I had been racing previously and started skipping events if I woke up in the morning and just didn't feel like going. I've had the most fun racing since I made that change than I had for a while before that.

[snoxracer183]

you breaking my balls here eric. $110 and a taco or 2.

Alright you gotz yourself a deal

[TomKat]

I started skipping events if I woke up in the morning and just didn't feel like going. I've had the most fun racing since I made that change than I had for a while before that.

Yes. You have to keep it fun. If you're not having fun you might as well be at work making some money.

[mrslysly]

I won't be making Brainerd. Totally forgot I had a wedding to attend the 26th. You guys have fun. If you want to use the gopro lemme know. I also have the panavise suction cup mounts for normal cameras if anyone wants to use them.

[Deadly_Evolution]

Well for me it's not the car, I LOVE my new car, but it's a mix of a few other things. Mostly personal issues. Kinda like what you said, about waking up and if you don't feel like going, don't go. May give that a shot. Only time will tell. As of right now though, no real interest.

[Draven8795]

Well you will have to go to the next marshfield event so we can have a shortout haha.

[SgtRauksauff]

totally. I decided to skip events sometimes, and stop rushing around all in a crazy-haze. Like TK said, it's about fun. But if you exclude the rest of your life in pursuit of just one thing, everything sort of loses color.

--sarge

[Dizmm]

^ i sort of agree with what moss says. however, dont let yourself get lazy. Nothing comes for free, good times are created by working hard at/for something.

[DSM Girl]

Yes. You have to keep it fun. If you're not having fun you might as well be at work making some money.

That is exactly why I haven't been able to make it to any events so far. I always have to work! Except last Sunday, I chose to spend the day with my dad since I had off from work and he did too. With everyone having quit the store (yes Megan that means you =) I always end up working.

[snoxracer183]

GSW, what route do you plan on taking up there? Trying to figure out where to catch up with you guys once you get far enough north

TK, you were right. Duluth is too far north. I was thinking of Bemidji, not Brainerd

[Draven8795]

To me its easier to tkae 39 to 29 I hate getting stuck behind slow people on 10 and having to slow down then pass them.

[Getsideways]

Im taking 10 traffic usually isnt horrible at that time everyone is already at work and not yet coming home

[SgtRauksauff]

ugh. Still at work right now. Which means that I did NOT get the time to pull the transmission out. Which means that I might skip Brainerd, or at least saturday. I've been working since 6:30 a.m. and I think by tomorrow night, I'm going to be way too tired, and too short of time, to get the car put together. I really don't feel comfortable driving on the trans thats in it, it's whining like little girl. Plus my back is now killing me again. poop.

--sarge

[Draven8795]

Just an FYI....I called the track today to see what their gas prices are. The guy told me they don't sell 93 oct at the track but they do have race gas. It was the typical price of 6.50 or something so not as bad has BHF.

There is a gas station right out front of the track but I'm pretty sure its only 91. I know some of you guys run 93. So just so you know.

I might fill up a gas can in the cities where i can get 93 and then just mix 91 and race gas after thats gone.

[Draven8795]

my address is 1232 lindbergh ave your welcome to come chill at the house until we take off (at closer to 1) ha mapquest and google gives us 5:15-5:58 of drive time

Micahhrhaha are you still going to be at your place sometime after 11am tomorrow?

I need to run some errands but should be done by noon.

[snoxracer183]

So you guys are doing what? Taking Hwy 10 over to Eau Claire then jumping on the interstate?

[TomKat]

That's the shortest possible route.

It may be faster taking Hwy 29 through Wausau though.

Did they ever finish Hwy 29 up to I94? A few years back you had to drive through town on two lane roads to get to I94.

[Getsideways]

yes planning on taking 10 over and yes ill be here 11 0n making last checks on equipment and packing of the car then hopefully chilling an hour before we have to leave

[EVILUTION]

I hope the weather holds out for you guys!

In the unlikely event of major damage, if you need to trailer your junk home I'm willing to come get ya. You just have to make then penske arrangements!

[Draven8795]

That's the shortest possible route.

It may be faster taking Hwy 29 through Wausau though.

Did they ever finish Hwy 29 up to I94? A few years back you had to drive through town on two lane roads to get to I94.

Yea its finished. It's the same amount of time whether you take 10 or 29. We'd take 10 through osseo and jump on there right? Either way ill be at gsw's place before 1.

[Getsideways]

Thanks for the kind offer Evil its a somewhat scary looking track might end up eating your words ;)
Yeah i usually go through osseo its always seemed a few minutes quicker maybe because i prefer backroads as long as its not evening and the deer aren't all over the place.

[Getsideways]

I think this is a new stock ecu record and it will be at the proving grounds ,,,, at the strip that is .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0eevGuvSFs&feature=player_embedded

[SgtRauksauff]

Evil, you should loan me your EVO to drive for the weekend, so I don't have to stay up the rest of the night bleeding brakes, installing pads, and changing tires!

;)

--sarge

[Draven8795]

I thought this was an interesting video because it shows the speeds this viper is hitting. Its the same course we will be running. (Let me in the beginner class that big curving straight makes me nervous haha)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7FDMGnqUtI

[SgtRauksauff]

That's gonna be fun. I can see that my AE86 might do darned well in the tight spots, because they dont *look* so tight from that vid. But I'm going to feel slow, since I really don't have much power... Guy's maintaining 110+ around that sweeper. d'oh!!

I've never run on these tires before either. 22x7.0x13, normally used on Spec Racer Fords. I'm a little heavier than an SRF car, but hopefully they'll be a nifty tire. Cheap, too!!

[TomKat]

Thanks for posting that video Mike. Looks like a very interesting course and a bit tighter than I remember, but maybe it just seems tight because it was a Viper in the video.

Sarge. I have an extra one of those tires you can have.

[TomKat]

Does anyone have the address for the track so I can plug it into my Tom Tom.

[SgtRauksauff]

5523 Birchdale Road
Brainerd, MN 56401-6848

(218) 824-7220

google maps is your friend.

Silly. go to bed!!

I'm finally slowing down, and need to sleep. Tomorrow it's mount the tires, bolt 'em on, bed in the brakes, load the car on the trailer, pack the van, start driving. Today I changed the oil, put the exhaust manifold/downpipe back on, put the distributor back on, completely flushed the brake system with Supertech, then re-flushed with fresh superBlue. Then installed my Carbotech pads.

Then emptied the van, fixed the windows in the van, hooked up the trailer, checked the lights, loaded some of the van. All of this was after getting done with work.

Duh. Why do I do this to myself!?


--sarge

[TomKat]

Thanks Sarge.

[TomKat]

Don't forget. Long sleeve shirt and no shorts while on track.

[devlish]

^ dang. good thing i packed that already though. why can't all tracks be like M'A'M?? haha. no tech, no shirt, who cares!!!

[mrslysly]

Holy smack, that viper had almost 1G acceleration!

[Dizmm]

Holy smack, that viper had almost 1G acceleration!

i hit 1g on a launch.

[Getsideways]

I call BS on hitting 1g in a straight line unless its a launch , you need a lot more power to do that .

[Dizmm]

i think frank's 1000whp evo hit 2gs in 3rd gear. the stupid thing gave me whiplash.

[Extremedsm]

i think frank's 1000whp evo hit 2gs in 3rd gear. the stupid thing gave me whiplash.

Ahahahahaaahahaaa!!!!

[SgtRauksauff]

I instructed a guy in a Viper at BHF.. The thing felt like a HARD launch every gear change.

--sarge

[snoxracer183]

See you guys there! I'm headin out.

If GSW or Draven read this before you guys take off you should give me a call when you get to the Eau Claire area and I'll try to meet up with you guys.

-Eric (218) Six 8 Six - 9648

[DirtyBird]

So is everybody just saying the hell with the WIR autocross this weekend?

[Getsideways]

No that event is still running and im sure they would love your attendance and help if you can make it .
Were here, made it out on track its very bumpy and we all got ''stopped'' by security. Have a safe ride andrew

[DirtyBird]

huh? that last sentence didnt make alot of sense

[DontStopMe]

How did everything go? Hope all the cars are still in one piece.

[Getsideways]

Their all in one piece , and it all went well, more info tommorow

[TomKat]

It was an awesome weekend. Thanks Getsideways and Dizmm for making it happen.

[devlish]

Yes, thanks GSW & Dizmm & TK for running the weekend!! Best weekend of racing i've ever attended! The track facility was great! in my opinion, everything ran fairly smoothly. the road course was a fricken blast!!! that super-sweeper was downright scary even after taking it 20-30 times! you can just keep pushing yourself and the car, and it seems there is always room for improvement, even when you're already taking it at nearly 120! I can't wait til next year!!

I'm a little disapointed that we didn't get ANY video or pictures. I hope those guys watching the CWSCC-SuperShootout post their video, it's better than nothing i'm sure

Is there a post-brainered meeting going on somewhere? if so, i'd love to attend, but I cannot make TT if that where it is...

[Getsideways]

Thanks everyone for making it happen , turned out to be a VERY inexpensive track day ,
The track was very laid back but on top of most things ,
It was incredible to be a part of such a huge event taking a drive thru the campground reminded me of how many people actually attended and how proud i was that our CWSCC crew was able to have a hand in running it ,
Heres some interesting facts i found about the road course , if you were in the 1:50s you were fast if you were in the mid 1:40s you were VERY close to the all time (non indy car) track record .so props to the entire crew as i was amazed at the driving skill put on display there.
I wish we couldve had Paul here with us he woulda had a field day with all the events think your best wet dream about cars ever and multiply it ..
And the DIZZM GSW battle never happened we will fix this .

[mrslysly]

Glad to hear it was a blast. I always end up missing the good tracks. :(

[Draven8795]

Yea that was a great time. Very inexpensive weekend like you said. Getting there and back was a little tricky with all the weekend get away idiots that can't drive but other than that the track was awesome. The CWSCC laps were great. Two spins in one session haha, thank goodness nothing happened. And damn you Kurt for going back out and running faster than me haha.

Driving home on 10 and 73 at night is like playing a real life game of Frogger.

Also going back to work on a Monday after running 100+ mph all weekend long just doesn't seem that exciting.....

[snoxracer183]

That was by far the most fun weekend of racing I have ever had. Thanks to all that spent the time in organizing it for when we got there. I loved the high speed corners on that track. I enjoyed this track more than Blackhawk. Great driving by everyone from CWSCC that went. We were all haulin' @$$ out there. Minus the track owner, I don't think anyone was faster than all of us.

I still am in shock of the Time-Attack style laps times vs. the standing start times though.

[SgtRauksauff]

That was a VERY cool weekend, the track was awesome, even if a bit bumpy.

I really need to paint my car, so it doesn't think the yellow primer makes it an old Case tractor, so it stops wanting to go on agricultural excursions. Those gravel pits are kinda cool, though.

I may have got some good video, hopefully it's not too shaky, since my camera mounting apparatus tends to bounce a bit. Unless there's some software that can take care of it. I haven't even unpacked the van yet, much less check out the video. I backed into my driveway at 0330 this morning. crashed hard, then got awoken by the cell phone. Apparently, there was a power outage here at work, and the phone system was fooked in the process. oh joy. This was supposed to be a vacation day, dammit!

Anyways, thanks guys for getting us an awesome hookup on some sweet track time! Next time, I'm bringing some citronella tiki torches, stoopid mosquitoes!

--sarge

[devlish]

CWSCC ShootOut was still the hi-lite of my weekend!! everything was awesome, but that was just insane. not sure if the corner workers talked to anyone else out of our group, but one said that was the most fun watching us go around that they'd seen in a while, and the lady told "now that's how its supposed to be done!" haha. great time, and great crew out there as well.

[Dizmm]

i have lots of stuff to sort out. results should be posted later.

Fun weekend all in all. the camping stuff was out of this world, lots of fun!!!

I cant wait for next year!!

[devlish]

I cant wait for next year!!

x2!!!

I checked out MitsuStyle.com... lots of talk about the weekend. mostly the drag racing. but a few people were asking for AutoX results though :-)

[TomKat]

Fun weekend all in all. the camping stuff was out of this world, lots of fun!!!



Hell yeah. Building the campfire was the best and Dizmm's campfire wood findings skills and second to none. LOL.

Ended up sleeping in the car so I wasn't eaten alive by the mosquitos.

[TomKat]

CWSCC ShootOut was still the hi-lite of my weekend!! everything was awesome, but that was just insane.

The CWSCC shootout was epic. I'd have to rate it better than the MSCC shootout at GingerMan years ago.

4 laps. Sarge in the lead with his AE86. Then I think it was SnowX with the Mazda 3 speed. Then Draven with the STI. Then Deadly Evolution with the EVO IX. Then Devlish with the STI. Then me with the EVO 8.5 followed by Dizmm with his EVO 8.

Sarge and Deadly ended up spinning. - it got pretty exciting. Then Dizmm and myself were bumper to bumper and side by side going 100+ passing in turns 1 and 2. Too bad Dizmm's tires went away and I wish Getsideways could have been there to head up to the front of the pack.

I was very impressed with everyone from our crew's driving. Nice job.

Props goes out to the CWSCC crew running the autocross on Saturday morning. They were running their asses off, but putting on an awesome event.

When I took a break from the lapping day to see how the autocross was going I was blown away by a car going out on course every 15 seconds and weaving they were all doing between going on course, leaving the course, and getting back into grid. Extremely well organized.

The course looked fun as hell and it looked like the the drivers and the spectators had a blast.

There were some really cool cars there too. That GTR was awesome.

[turbo chick]

I had an awesome time at the track!!! Definitely looking forward to going next year! Thanks to everybody that got us involved in this event. I think that it will run even smoother next year!

Camping was fun....except for all the mosquitos... I think all of my welts should be gone in a few days... The campfire wood gathering antics would have made for a great blooper reel if someone would have had a camera :)

[Dizmm]

i'd love to have a meeting and get some feedback from all those that helped out. maybe tomorrow? I'd do it tonight but i haven’t got home yet. need to unpack and catch up on sleep. I love the feeling of exhaustion.

I had a blast riding around the track with GetSideWays with the lap timer in the car.

Thanks Devlish for the hot laps in your car, she did great! those tires kick ass.

Draven, what have you been eating lately? whatever it is, your getting fast!!! or maybe it is just that suspension....mmmm ha

Thanks Deadly Evo for not crashing in to me...or wait, that was me almost crashing into you. ha,... good driving though, you did very well on your street tires in the timed event. i'll have results up later.

KatieSchmatie- good AWD donuts, whens the clutch changing party?

Sarge, i like your attempt at doing a rally-X. maybe we can get them to do one next year.

TK- your evoV2 did very well even in its beta stage. wait til she's faster.

Eric, you make FWD look good! and when can we burn your tent?

BIG thanks to Steph, Frank, Beth, Megan, Brunta for helping out!!!

[Draven8795]

I'd like to think that I'm getting more comfortable with the car and finding lines on the track and knowing the cars limits.

But your right it's probably just that suspension haha.

the MitsuStyle guys LOVED not having to work the track when racing!!! and yes, it was super well organized. props to katieshmatie for working grid and having no accidents on the crossover!

[Dizmm]

if there was one thing we did best it was the parking lot auto-x. however, i think we can even do better. 2 things come to mind, a display, and then some drywall would have made it easier for keeping the cones in the box. Our corner workers, grid, starter, all did a fantastic job!!!

[Getsideways]

I'd be curious to see the timed runs off the big track more then the autox , especially the ones i missed

Some better communication with MAP registration would help too because there were a lot of people that came from paying and didn't seem to know that they needed to get teched and show us their paperwork before running, hence the "unknown names". Better communication with them would have made the whole weekend run more smoothly. And a more precise schedule listing when participants needed to be where would have helped the events run more on time. We had a lot of stragglers showing up late.

But I think that things ran pretty well considering that most of us had never been there before.

[devlish]

^ good point. i hate to say it, but WE should run registration next year for the events we're running. (and have MAP guys out picking up cones! ha) and some better "directions" around the facility too. communication was lacking. but still went very good overall. If all this is written down and planned out for next year, should go beautifully!!

[Dizmm]

I dont think MAP was doing the registration. that was the Brainerd crew. nonetheless, I did talk to Chris and Blake at MAP, next year there will be changes made. I'd like to have a meeting from those that helped out at the event. I want to make some notes on our ideas and ways we can improve things. I will then hand those off to MAP for next year.

Still working on the road course lap times. should be up soon.

[TomKat]

Beta. I still have a Beta machine at my Dad's house.

The EVO ran great this weekend. Thanks for all the work you put into her.

The ENA Results are wrong. The Miata and the M3 tied for raw times however, The M3 Hit a few cones in the process. Also, I thought the CRX was using slicks?

That being said, I had a blast guys! thank you so much for working the course so we could enjoy the day. I will definitly be back next year, and will try to get as many people from the Badlands club to come out as well. I was amazed that we got to run 11 runs even after starting an hour late!
Also, to the girl in the shorty shorts working the crossover, Thanks again for letting my Girlfriend borrow your helmet. She was complaining about being there the whole weekend, until I got her to ride with me. She didnt wanna leave the car after that.

I'll go back and check the hand written times and made sure they were put in the computer correctly. that tie between the miata and M3 is weird, i'll double check. Also everyone classed themselves, and that CRX put himself in ENA, which is a street tire only class. I guess its too late to check now.

we started on time. 10am was first car out. the drivers meeting however was moved to 9:30 because of all the late registrations.

Thanks for coming, next year will be better. We'll have our display, PA for announcements, and hopefully a better/longer course layout now that i know what we have to work with. I'll also make sure we have cones right away in the morning. I didnt get to setup the course till 9am because we didnt have any cones.

[bruenta]

Hey, I had a great time too and thanks to everyone who let me take laps in their cars! I don't think I abused stuff too much. Yeah the track is awesome and a great facilty all around. I don't think I know of a more high speed area than the banked turn and the corner after that--big cajones area!!
I think all the CWSCC people did a really great job of running the autoX and high speed track events! Especially handling the stragglers and getting them on course and what not.
Oh and don't forget skittles/unicorn/kryptonite either!!;)

[StephaniEvo]

Thanks Andy for breaking my big track cherry and making my scream in the process. Also, thanks TK for letting me take the Evo out for a bit. It was a fun weekend. The drive home sucked though, I got hit with slow traffic due to a couple of accidents (both women drivers).

[devlish]

! I don't think I abused stuff too much. ;) except for doing donuts in my car when i wasn't around... but hey... whatever! prick. :-)

Sounds like a typical cwscc/fvscc event organizer move.

Oh the donuts. Um yeah. It really was only like 1.5 donuts. In the rain.
I'll put that in my TPS report.

Don't forget the cover sheet. I hate to break this to you Dave, but Skittles (Fuji) got FTD for the event at the time attack.

Dizmm where are my flying lap times?

I lost them...., you cheated with your warm tires and back to back lapping. funny though you still ran faster from a dead stop on cold tires. Hmmm.....

It should be on the same paper as everyone else. It was a 1:48.5 or something like that.

I updated it sorta. 1:48.47

hmm..... I think you misread the handwritten times, Dizmm. I'm 99.9% sure that my flying lap time was a 1.58.7xx, because it was almost exactly 10 seconds slower than TK's 1:48.7xx.

and the standing start time didn't take, eh? too bad, as it felt like a really good lap. So good, that I decided to do some RallyX after the finish, lol!

No biggie, though. but if you were off a line or something during the transcribing, others' times could be off also.

ok i found another time for you sarge, they didnt put all yout flying lap times in one spot i guess. Probably Megan's fault.

I dont have any time recorded for your HSAX lap time.

[Draven8795]

That black Sti that was belching smoke ran a 1:55 I'm pretty sure. So that would have been faster.

[Getsideways]

I didnt finish my second lap how do i have a time for it ?

[TomKat]

You went out on a different session and got a lap time.

[IROC]

Nice Indy Car shot. I raced karts with Herm Johnson from Eau Claire and he went on to race Indy Cars for John Menard. He's an instructor now at Brainerd. I wonder if he's in that picture?

[SgtRauksauff]

I dont have any time recorded for your HSAX lap time.

Oh well, thanks for checking, though!!

[devlish]

Skittles (Fuji) got FTD for the event at the time attack. i noticed that and laughed my ass off!!! hahahaha. sorry dave.
but yes, i remember the black STi hatch getting a 155.xx as well... before he started blowing smoke, again. name was Shane, from TintMasters Motorsports... he should've gotten the FTD. but for as messed up as skittles was, i'm somewhat impressed that it was running those times!

an Dave, i'll send you the memo again.

[devlish]

http://www.cwscc.com/results/MAP_RoadCourse.html

so who had the fastest lap times on street tires? is it broken down that way?

[Dizmm]

I never got that Shane guy's registration info. Yes he did get a 1:55, but i have no info at all for him. Those !#$*&! people doing registration only gave half the people registration sheets.

[devlish]

^ that sucks. i doubt he really cared. however, it's possible he never even registered and just went out there since he was out there saturday as well.

[Getsideways]

I want to go back ,, actualy to any bigger track i have the most fun at them , and love the competition of being able to compare lap times nationally .
Also im looking into transponders i remember some talk of using them for snowmobiles and carts and was wondering if any of you guys remember who your suppliers were and how much a full setup for 5-10 cars costs.

[Extremedsm]

Wish my car would have been there so I could play!!!

amb transponders. Go to mylaps.com I bet my kart transponder would work in my car. I should try it at shawano if they can hook up the loop and scoring system. Almost every car track will have an amb transponder loop somewhere on the track.

[SgtRauksauff]

That 2k10 GT3RS is pretty sweet. I saw one at Hutch's work, it was black, with black rims, it was dark, and menacing, and totally a car I would buy had I the means to do so.

They are considered a widow maker .....

[SgtRauksauff]

because the wife is so angry that you spent more on a car than her, and kills the husband?

[devlish]

^ basically yes.

[EVILUTION]

More than likely because it looks like a smooshed VW bug.

[SgtRauksauff]

the one I saw, black on black on black, didn't look anything like a bug. seriously, it looked badass.
