A LONG week at BIR

Wednesday, September 17 2008 @ 09:10 PM CDT

Views: 715

Wet was the catch phrase for the weekend. Friday started the 40th anniversary weekend with a 2 hour delay for fog. Something about running a new track sight unseen at 100 mph and dense fog just did not add up. Then after things got started there were numerous flat tows off of the new track. Between Rescue 1, Rescues 5 and 20 we were kept busy all day. Saturday and Sunday both started the day with rain. This didn�t let up until late in the day so by the time things were winding down the infield looked more like a mud pit than a paddock. The celebrations both nights more than made up for the rain�.

BIR Opens the New "Competition Course"

Monday, September 01 2008 @ 04:42 PM CDT

Labor Day weekend was the weekend to be part of the Professional Drivers School. BIR opened the new shorter course for the first time to Cars for lapping. Running at the same time as the Drag strip, This new course presented some minor challenges, but the word from the drivers and the instructors is that this is a really fun course to drive. Judging from the "corded" left front tires, the carousel that is now 8 is going to add to the cost of running on the track, but the comment "it was worth it" from the drivers about sums it up.

For reference the new 8 has been dubbed the Carousel, 9 is the Kink. It's the minor left that sets you up to get back to the "narrows" between 9 and 10. 10 is the 45 left by the pit entrance and 11 is the 45 right onto the main straight. 12 is the 90 left at the end of the main straight and 13 is the 90 right past the bridge.

What a fun weekend to be the first Rescue/Corner staff to work the new road course. Plan on attending the 40th anneversary event in a few weeks. You wil not regret it.

Ojibwe Report

Tuesday, August 26 2008 @ 06:00 PM CDT

With August coming to a close there are a number of things to report on. Let's start with Ojibwe...

The Practice stage went very well for most all but one car. That car managed to get a tree putting an early end to the weekend for that team. The only real damage was to the car as the next car caught them limping out and back to service. I understand that Cowboy Kenny put on a good show for the crowds, but I was preoccupied with a rally 101 presentation for 2 new medical folks Thursday night.

The last weekend road course event before the NHRA stuff went out fighting. The Vintage boys teamed up with the PCA to give the attendees a real show. Friday was for the most part uneventful with a small number of flat tows to keep rescue busy. Saturday the Vintage boys did their part to make the day interesting. PCA also did thier part to keep rescue on our toes...

Well since the last news article a number of things of interest have transpired. The track has had some changes, there has been a rollover and a car fire and countless flat tows for starters. With the first event for July in the books, the Track Addix event on the horizon, a driver school and the PCA race left his month the possibilities are endless. The second Nemadji Trail event is also scheduled for the end of the month.

First June Event News

Wednesday, June 04 2008 @ 08:45 PM CDT

Another BIR-Performance Driving School is in the books. The event was a large one with 80+ participants. The day started out with a flat tow and one into the wall on the main straight. The wall impact was light and because of a wet front straight. The Driver had been to the track before so he knew before it broke loose he was pushing the limits. The impact side lined the car for the event but there was only bruised pride for the occupants. The other event of note was the Ford GT that spun in one and parked it just shy of the berm drivers right. Minor damage to some fiberglass parts but that about sums up the carnage for that incident and the day. there were a couple of other flat tows but for the most part the rest of the group was well behaved.

Social Update and First Fling notes

As I sit here today (Monday) I'm upset that the article penned on Saturday didn't save to the site. It was a better article than the one I can write today. (You'll understand shortly).

As for the pre-season social, the attendee count was into the 30's and I know I had a great time and I heard from others that they did as well. It will be different not having to go to calls, and sitting here at home today I am hearing the pager trip (3rd time) and still having a hard time unlearning the "go to the fire station" drill.
