NASCAR & SCCA @ BIR Memorial Day Weekend....

I'll get something more written up eventually!  :)
Mark K. (Maaco Mineapolis), & Dave S.(Race Suit Rental) in Spec Racer Fords 

Aaron Stehly, APR VW GTI

Tom F.

NASCAR K&N series in the pre-grid.

Taken from the pits...I was on fire bottle duty.

Racing against my old car.....now owned by Brent C.



A fun weekend indeed.  I personally didn't do so well....plagued w/ back pain and drama in my personal life, caused me to spin and hit the wall going into Turn 12 during a practice session, and a spin & continue during race 1 at Turn 2....(100mph +, a real 'come to Jesus moment'), other than that just being slow. 
Lots of rain; I need to invest into real rain tires and not just summer street tires.  Thanks to John H. "Fossco Fabrication", Mark K. (Maaco Mpls.), and Mayhem Racing for their support.

The Performance Driving Experience (PDX) registration is OPEN!

Hosted by SCCA-LOL at the Dakota County Technical School track on Saturday, June 9th, this all day event is for everyone who would like to drive their street car on a track, and it’s a GREAT opportunity for crew members to experience the thrill of performance driving.


SCCA-LOL will provide certified instructors who will help participants master the various driving lines.

Space is limited...Register NOW!

An SCCA Track Day, also known as a “Performance Driving Experience”, offers you a chance to drive your car on a real race track under the watchful eye and guidance of a highly experienced driver riding with you in your car. It is an opportunity for you to explore the capabilities of your car at greater-than-highway speeds. You’ll get practice in car control and handling, as well.

Our PDX days are non-competitive and untimed so there is no pressure to perform beyond your comfort level.

Participants are separated by experience and expertise into three groups from Novice to Advanced with safety being the paramount goal. Of course, FUN is the real reason for participating and we do all we can to make your PDX one that will keep you smiling for a long time.

You don’t need a sports or performance car to participate; just a car (no trucks) with a hardtop (no convertibles,) and a valid driver’s license.

It's only $100 plus $15 (Weekend membership) for non-SCCA members!

Register now!
