View Full Version : BIR June sometime
defiler

Ok so someone told me to post on here, instead of always hijacking threads elsewhere:lol: :eek:
So I want to get a group of people to go up to the tracks at BIR. Me and at least 1 freind will be going (He's got a 300ZX). But I hate going to these places alone, so I'm hoping someone can find time to take off a Wednesday night and come up there...
The when: From what it says on thier sites, gates open at 5pm. Well, if you've ever driven 169N at around 3pm, you'll know, it would be beneficial to leave closer to 2, and maybe chill in Brainerd for an hour, because around 5pm the traffic is insane in that area. No joke.
But if anyone wants to join us, just let me know when you would prefer to do it. I would prefer the last Wednesday in June, so I can scrape up the $75 it would take for this. But as said before, I just need to know when anyone would prefer to do it, because I would need to take the day off @ my work, and I need to give them 2 weeks notice b4 doing so (Stupid huge corporations... gotta hate em)

Ok so I double-checked the BIR site, and it appears they are not in fact open every Wednesday as I was informed of by a few people in the area. The nly dates available in that part of the summer are:
June 21, july 12, and July 26.
So if anyone would like to come, please inform me of which date would work best so I could try and plan to obtain the day off. Personally I was hoping it woul dbe open on the 28th, but that appears not to be so. Either way, the 21st could possibly be good too.
It's a pretty good deal too IMO. Only $20 to race, then factor in about $55 for gas there and back (Thats being extreme. Shouldnt be that much). For a grand total of $75. About what all of us payed for the dyno days, after factoring in gas.
Only problem is, I dont know if I have a helmet to wear in the car, as they say is required.....

I havent been on here in like a year, but I would be intrested in going to BIR for some runs.
I have never run at the track before, but I think its time to figure out where I stand with the new turbo / megasquirt setup.
Im living down in the cities now, and theres only 1/8 mile track. I need to get on the 1/4

That's be cool. My plans have changed because of financial reasons, so I'm going up for sure on July 12th. So hopefully some mor epeople may want to come before then.

Awesome. So you're game for the July 12th?
You should find some others to come too... I've got 1 buddy for sure, and 1 is coming to watch, but nobody else wants to come with me....:shrug:
defiler
06/09/2006, 01:42 PM
So with the headers, you'll only slightly get beat by me:D I got a new CAI, and a fuel pump will be going in this week, so it should be a blast
You should PM me so we can see what time that day would be best for u. For me and my buddy it doesnt matter at all...

grrr.... I can't go the 21st... I changed it in a later post and said I cant go then and am going the 12th of July..... (unles someone wants to borrow me $50 for a few weeks....:D )
SO I'm assuming the 12th won;t work for you?:confused:

12th is fine for me doesn't matter at all what day it is.

whew. thanx. :o It doesnt matter fro other buddy too, since he has no job. But if the 12th works, thats awesome. Im still tryin to recruit some more people, so hopefully we can get a little caravan goin up there.:thup:
I cant go during the week so the 12th wont work for me.
Thats why I'm haing a problem finding people, because most people work on thursdays and dont want to go for an adventure on a wednesday night...
If i'm not still in California i'll show, i wanna check out the track anyways b4 the Nationals in August:)

06/11/2006, 12:14 AM
Cool. If you are, just post up in here or shoot me a PM and I can update you as to whats progressing. It would be nice to get at least 5 people for this...

It's a Muscle car and i don't know much about it, but you wont be able to smoke his car trust me.:)

06/11/2006, 11:51 AM
It's a joke. I'm probably not gonna run faster than a 14.9 at best
oooh... still quicker than andrew tho:lol: :D (I'm gonn laugh now when he kicks my ass there too with like a 14 flat or something:lol: :eek: ....)

--------UPDATE---------
So since this did not go down and I was forced to go to Rock Falls instead, we're trying to get another group to go up on August 23rd. Same deal, open races from 5-9pm, $20. So far I got me and 2 others, but it seemed like some others here would have been interested.
So who's up for this? If you want to go, we should probably take off about 2 or 3, as it may take us 2 hours to get there. If we leave at 2, then it would leave us time to get some food and get inspected before the running starts.

Are you gonna try and get some more people to come with Andrew? I'm tryin to get people, but nobody wants to drive 2 hours to run... So far my bddy with the 300zx might come, and my cousin up north I'm gonna try and talk him into coming with his Eclipse this weekend. But that's all I know of that will come (Well maybe my brother with his LX....)

Id consider it, but I live in Rochester, so that 2 hour drive is more like 3 or 5, boo.

07/18/2006, 12:01 AM
I bet. It'd be an hour or 2 up to the cities, then another 2 to Brainerd.

5-8:15? WTF? Last year my buddy went and he said they let him race till 10... then earlier this year both you and someone else told me they run till 9... now it's 8:15? Do they just keep closing it earlier and earlier?
I dont wanna go up there and only have an hour to run next time....
andrewpgt
07/28/2006, 08:19 PM
if they keep cutting it down i'm not going. plus the only two people going are defiler and I. THIS WAS PUT OUT TWO MONTH IN ADVANCED AND STILL ONLY TWO PEOPLE ARE GOING. THAT IS SAD!

07/28/2006, 09:22 PM
We may have more. If my brother gets his license before then, hell bring his V6 LX up. I also have a kid whos pretty interested from PT in my area who said he'd probably go, and he said he's got like 5 or so freinds that would come with....
Also, it seems like there might be a dozen people from MN Sport Compacts goin up there too from the word I've been hearing...
So we may not be alone.

defiler
08/16/2006, 11:59 AM
OK. WE are a WEEK away from here, and I still don;t have ANYONE from here to go with me... what's up with that?:mad: It's only $20 to race for 3-5 hours. You can't beat that deal, not even with a stick. That's 1/2 the price of racing @ rock falls, and it's just as close (people told me rock falls was only 45 minutes away from here... uh-huh... riiiiiiiight..more like an hour and a half...)

defiler
08/24/2006, 12:53 AM
I didnt run. I have a 1/4" tear in my intercooler piping, so I figured it would have been a waste of $20 to race it like that. (Sucks, cuz no place sells 1 3/4" silicon couplers for me to convert to hardpipes, and NOPLACE sells IC piping either....)
SO I just sat and watched. For $5, you can;t beat the deal (And I was already up north trying to fix my other car today....)
