Minneapolis MN Cars & Cafe, Saturday May 1st 8am-11am (Drag day afterwards)





Hey guys,
It's that time of the month again. Our season opener in April was a huge sucess. With over 350 cars, the lot was full by 8:45am!
In order to keep things organised, please try to arrive as early as possible (the event starts at 8am) so that you can get a parking spot. We have gotten to the point where we have to turn people away or ask them to park in spectator parking when they arrive after 9:30 because there is no room.
This month we have something very special in store. We will be going to our first annual drag day immediately after the event. (A grouup of us is leaving right at 10:30am sharp) More info on that here:

1st Annual MN Cars & Cafe 1/4 mile Drag Day (Sat May 1st @ Rockfalls Raceway in WI) - eurowerks.org

Please keep the burnouts and hard launches for the track. We need to be respectful of the property and our host as well as the garage owners that allow us to have our event at their place.

Please mark your calendars with the following 2010 dates:

June 5th
July 3rd
August 7th
September 4th
October 2nd
November 6th

I can't wait to give my new D700 a proper test at C&C and the strip afterwards!

Let's just hope the weather holds up.

Thanks to all of you that made it out (sorry to those of you that had issues with parking) The lot was full by 8:30am.

The drag day was amazing. I was able to run a 10.73 @ 129mph in the black Evoms EVT650 2010 997.2 TT. (In fact I ran about 10 back to back runs in the 10's) That thing is a beast. Anyways, here are the pics:

I have a lot more photos from the drag day that I'll be uploading and posting later. These are just a teaser for now.

I'll be uploading them to the gallery in the link posted below. If anyone wants hi-res copies of any of the images in the gallery, PM me or email me at bellus (dot) alex (at) gmail (dot) com.
