You can register when you show up, but online is $5 cheaper. Click that link above for more info. You need a helmet (Snell M or SA2001+ certified), and something for numbers on your car (painters tape I have heard works in a pinch). Check out that link above.

Anybody can come watch.

Josh and Jorge (takata) are competing on Saturday, and Josh and I on Sunday.

I actually just read that the slots are all filled (160 max), so unless you can find someone selling their slot it's only gonna be spectating.

Damnnnnnn Ken that shit is hot. It took me a while to decide if I like the tint and eyelids, and I have decided it looks good!

Questions -

1) Do you know what % the tint is?

2) Can you see at night lol?


I think I might need to put mine on now.

it's the ebay knockoffs, the ones i have are rockin 33% light transmission lol, i can see at night but my headlights cant outdo the street lights. i ordered new one and they're 66% these run about 20 bucks shipped

the rockblocker ones i believe are 87% and are like 45 bucks without shipping. since you have HID you're probably better off than me

Those eyelids are pretty tight man. But yeah - I could see where you might see some functional issues with the dark tint on the lights.

Too bad they don't (do they?) make those smoked headlight covers that you can just pop on and off. I had a set of those for my Jimmy. Easy on - Easy off (key word is had them on my Jimmy until one flew the nest sometime between point A and B)

So kind of (really) off subject, and one of those left-field comments - but I thought I would share anyhow.

So at work, it's just me and my co-worker Tom. Now Tom is a little older, probably in his 50's. He's getting to be that age where we were talking about wine, and he mentions how he loves rasberries and continues on to tell me about how rasberries have so much fiber in them to scrub your body clean from the inside out.

That got me thinking (and kind of grossed out) - I'm pretty sure there is nothing in my body that some buffalo wild wings and whiskey can't take care of.

yeah, all these health freaks are missing the real solution. I agree with you Brian, a little fire-soaked meat to help empty out the works and some alcohol to kill the bacteria is all you really need.

put about 5 blazing wings into your system and it'll be screaming for a wash out. just watch as everything in your body gushes out, now that's cleansing.

anyway, wings saturday morning and then roll out to the track together sounds good.

there's a b-dubs on
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc
5500 Wayzata Blvd # 1600, Minneapolis, MN 55416

and from there it's 29 mins to the valleyfair track

Saturday morning, bright and shiny. Racers have to be there at 7 or 7:30 for the first meetings, registration, tech, track walk, etc. I think the first time on track is 8:30 or 9.

It's nice to be home, but damn it was nice in PR. I really didn't want to come back, but that friggin hunk of crap Hyundai was getting on my nerves, it was in serious need of a horsepower infusion. Not to mention that if I never see another speed bump it will be too soon.

I still have to check to make certain that my helmet is OK. Dan has also said you could use his helmet if you wanted.

Given that it is soooooooo early, I am thinking that I will just meet you there, or on the road to getting there. If I am on the way for you then we can meet up. I think Dan is going to roll with me and hang out while we drive and he is going to race on Sunday.

Racing is all about functioning on little sleep. Now you know why most professional drivers sleep in a motorhome at the track.

Yea, so I dunno if I'm gonna make it for this race. Let me know how it goes I guess and we'll see if it's worth getting up at 6am for a drive to Shakopee.

Maybe I'll get up a little early and kick some butt with Mario.

Hey - I think I've brought this up before, but I think we should all go down to raceway park sometime. It's right across the street from Valleyfair. Some of the flag pole races, figure 8's and endurance races can be a blast. Not to mention they sell beer and dogs at a resonable price.

I wouldn't expect spectators to come at 7, I would actually recommend people plan on coming Sunday so that we can tell you what to expect and when to be there.

That said, if you want to come kick it on Sat, you are more than welcome!

you a bitch razzi

From what I was reading, the first car goes off at 10. The morning is all registration, tech inspection, drivers meeting, course walk (multiple times), and then general prep.

We're going to have to change your name to 'punk-out' since you are doing it so often.

Did you get grounded from hanging out with us? Did we keep you out past your curfew or something?
