MN MAPerformance Proving Grounds 2013!

PG2013.1 Will surely be THE must see event of the season. With over 5,000 enthusiasts in attendance this unique event provides a smorgasbord of different racing such as Drag, Drifting, Auto X, and Time Attack. Although the event is tailored to drivers (both novice and experienced) we have also seen exponential growth in spectators and campers alike coming to enjoy not only the daytime racing but the post racing party / nightlife as well.

Brainerd International Raceways facilities are truly incredible and
all I can say is if you haven't been to Proving Grounds, you're missing out.

More details on classing, pricing, etc will be announced in the near future. For now please SHARE this event with any and all enthusiasts and help up make this years PG even bigger and better than the last.


This event was awesome last year and it keeps getting bigger & better!! Lets represent the good old Wankel!

Im still waiting for my semi-local auto club (CWSCC) to finalize their club track schedule for 2013, but Im planning on given the proving ground a try this upcoming year
(I only hope my ITB + Haltech conversion will be finished and tuned by then)

So explain to me:

For the time attack, are there classes? If so how is technical inspection/testing done? If not do you have any desire to enforce a set of classes?

His brother Shawn with the supercharger RSX had posted the video up on youtube and some people started just asking to buy stuff off the car not caring about him or the car from a picture he posted up there. I believe but not sure if he parted it out and not sure of his future ride.

I missed this weekend, but look forward to the September 6-8th event! Wasn't able to due to not getting my custom driveshaft made in time. Well at least this way I'll be able to fine tune the car for maximum performance for the next event - can't wait!
