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.

Andrew and I were talking about this last Saturday. I'm going to try to make it up there for the road coarse event, but not going to promise. It's a long drive now that my sister in law is no longer in Minneapolis.

I am going to try and make it up there this year, looks like a good time. I will be in my evo though not a muscle car.

You know that won't bother us at all ;)

I thought Iowa had tons of domestics, figured we would have seen a little more interest from them...

This event is truly one of a kind - its a smorgasbord of racing during the day and partying at night!

Looking forward to making it again this year. Back in a "sport compact" now haha, hoping I can beat my corvette time on the road course. Also want to see the track improvements BIR has done.
