This will be the our 4th annual Proving Grounds weekend at BIR! This event pulls in over 5,000 enthusiasts and racers who participate in all types of racing such as heads up drag racing, road racing (2.5 mile competition course), drifting, auto-x, motorcycle drag racing, car show, and even dyno and burnout competitions.

Any type of car can participate all event EXCEPT Drag. In the past we had limited the drag racing exclusively to sport compact cars but this year we would like to call out some modern muscle to come and join the fun. "Modern Muscle" will be classified by having came with fuel injection from the factory, engine swaps between different makes and models is allowed, assuming the chassis and engine were both factory fuel injected.

Just curious if anyone thinks they would be interested in an event like this and if so how you think we could create some simplified classing as we're more familiar with the Import side of this game.

Very cool! We recently moved to a new location in Cottage Grove and have a "standing in parking lot" event to kick off the season and raise money for breast cancer as well - I highly suggest checking it out and bringing out the crew!

Yea totally understand, we knew some enthusiasts never miss back to the fifties but hoped some "Modern Muscle" owners may like to do some racing this year instead :)

Also ALL years / makes / models are welcome to our Boost For Boobies Breast Cancer Dyno Day and Fundraiser so maybe we will have a chance to see your forum represented well at that event!
