The 2006 Donnybrooke Road Racing Revival

“Preaching the Gospel of Road Racing, 10 Turns at a Time”

Brainerd International Raceway

May 27-29 2006 (Memorial Weekend)



Please join us for Minnesota’s premier road racing event. This year’s event promises to be larger and more fun than ever.



The newly formed Snow States Autosports Club (SSAC) is the host organization. SSAC is partnering with the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) to hold the event.



This event is part of the NASA Mid-West region race series.



This event is also the first time NASA Mid-West is including vintage race groups and they are very excited to include Vintage Sports Car Racing (www.vscr.org) and their members in this event. The vintage race groups will include everything from 50’s vintage formula juniors to 70’s vintage Trans Am cars.



The event schedule will include Vintage racing on Saturday and Sunday and Current era racing on Saturday and Sunday. The NASA HPDE and Time Trials program will be held all 3 days. Non-Points enduro races will also be held Monday morning.



NASA HPDE and Time Trials are open to all licensed drivers with street cars. The current era race groups will include all NASA race groups.



NASA time trail program is a unique opportunity for advanced lapping drivers to compete for fast laps at the track. Transponders in you car records your lap times, transponders can be rented from NASA.



HPDE level 4 drivers are allowed unlimited passing. It’s the closest you can come to racing with your street car.



Event parties will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Food and beverages will be provided for event participants, crew and also event volunteers.



An exciting addition to this year’s event will be the Donnybrooke 3-lap Shootout. All race drivers are invited to enter this 3 lap handicap race. Each driver’s handicap will be based on the driver’s best time of the day. The shootout begins with a handicapped, staggered start, one car at a time. This handicap system is designed to bring all cars across the finish line at the same time after 3 laps. The shootout will be held at the end of the day on Saturday and should be a very entertaining segue into the evening’s festivities. The $10 per car entry fee will be donated to the winning driver’s favorite charity.



Plans are also underway to include a drifting exhibition on Sunday evening.



Although a NASA competition license is required for all NASA sanctioned racing events, SSAC has negotiated a one event waiver of the license fee. All race drivers will need to submit a NASA competition license application. This will also include a copy of their current non-NASA competition license and a copy of the driver’s most recent medical checkup.



HPDE entrants do not need a competition license.



The event organizers are also looking for instructors for the lapping groups. Event discounts are offered to qualified instructors.



Entry costs will be $289 for the racing portion and $249 for HPDE/Time Trial participants and will include a 1-year membership to NASA. A $40 discount is offered for existing NASA members. An additional $100 discount is offered to qualified race drivers who are also willing to be HPDE instructors for the weekend.



Vintage race group drivers are encouraged to submit their race entry and a copy of their medical form to Ardis Olson. Ardis handled registration for the previous VSCR events at BIR and will be happy to assist vintage racers register for this event. She can be reached at 763-478-3540.
