Gates are open 24/7 for the most part. You can park anywhere on the grounds as long as it's not in front of a Reserved Power pole spot. There are a couple other racer's coming up on Thursday afternoon that I know of. Just buy your racer/crew entry the following day.

I heard a few S/SS racer's were there this past weekend looking things over. Namly Gus Pflipich, Allan Messer, and Glen DeMenge with his NEW Camaro. Some said the starting line was a tad greasy...but several bracket racer's I spoke with said it was KILLER....guess you will have that.

The track will be scrapped, prepped, and traction compound applied for us to put on a show. All we have to do is SHOW UP!

If you have more questions, please just post them here....I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

THANKS!

Looking to have a good time on the 25/26 . I hope the rain will stay east. If it rains I will buy MJ tunes for Glen and Play Them All Night Long. Corky

First off, the track was if good condition...no issues hooking here. Over the weekend I made 12 passes in the Camaro and was able to learn a bunch. The track/staff at Interstate Dragways was fantastic to work with. Yes, there was a computer issue on Saturday...but, Sunday went off well once that was corrected.

Saturday Results

Jon Christensen def Brett Speer
Brian Zenzen Semi

Sunday Results

Brett Speer def Alex Weise
Russ Speer Semi

Those that were there I believe had a good time. However, it was a very poor turn out which was major league disappointing to me for as much work as I put into trying to organize this event.

turnout was probably poor due to the fact that brainerd had its race going on at the same time,
the general idea at brainerd was if it was a different weekend without conflict that most of the
bir regulars would have been there. most just wanted one more shot at bir before the national
event in a few weeks.

I agree, but this was pretty much the only weekend left this season that didn't have a conflict with a Division 5 event or MidWest Classracers/USA.

Not to mention, we started to post about this event back in April. Some people just made a choice to race elsewhere...which I understand. I myself am not a fan of the way BIR does their S/SS program, so I wanted to try something different.

I'd be happy to try again next year...maybe even 2 Combo Events at Interstate.
