B.I.R. Open Track Days - 2006

[KAA]

Suburban Corvettes Of Minnesota will be hosting three open track days/driver schools this year at Brainerd International Raceway (http://brainerdracewayandresort.com/racer/trackspecs/trackmap.html) in Brainerd, MN. B.I.R. is a high speed 3.1 mile road course with a 4700' long straight! You will get more track time than you'll care to use. I attended one of these last September and it was a blast.

The dates are:

May 25th
August 24th
September 13th

For more info. or to make a reservation, call:

Rick Ohland 651-452-3575 or Mark VerMurlen 651-429-8257

BIR is a fun track with the high speeds! :thumbsup: I just wish that the track surface was a little nicer. It is starting to deteriorate pretty quick. With all the money invested into the drag strip a few years ago, you'd think they would spend some on the road course?

BTW, the vids of the Elcamino on the track are awesome! :bow:

Here is a Video of my Impala lapping at BIR. (34.2mb so it may take a bit to download) 1995 Impala SS at BIR (http://www.mnfbody.com/pde_04/media/movies/04PDE-Impala.WMV)

I don't see the road course around for a whole lot longer, so if you ever want to run one of the fastest and longest tracks in the midwest..... ;)

August 24th happens to be my birthday.....hmmmm? :unibrow: :D

Randy,

Great video! Was that an F-Body club event?

I've seen your car at Car Craft. Looks great!

Thanks Keith! :cool: It is hardly the caliber of most of the rides on this site, but it is different and fun to play with.

That video was from the MN F-body's Performance Driving Experience (PDE) in 2004. We went to Mid America Motorplex in Iowa last year, and are returning this year on May 6th.

PDE 2006 Information link (http://www.mnfbody.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28)

The event is open to any driver and any vehicle that passes a basic safety inspection. :yes: Instructors are included for the whole day and at your disposal. It is geared for the beginner and novice as there is no timing equipment (keeps the car insured! ;) ) and simple passing rules. 125+ miles of track time is very common!

We'd love to see some old iron and some G-machines this year!
