is AARRF running this year?

[Groo]

Their forums seem to be broken- I can't register as a new user and post anything. I tried to e-mail the addresses listed on the site under contact info, but they all got returned. I'm brand new on the autosports scene so I don't really know what's going on with them- looks like there was some sort of shake down last year so I don't know if they are even going to be up again this year?

AARRF has been dead for over a year now...

oh ok, good to know. I was talking to someone on another forum who said they were staff at AARRF and sounded like something was going on for the upcoming season. But I haven't heard from him in a while though, so it must all have just gone and fizzled.

The aarrf website & forum are still operational (although not very active), but I haven't anything about events for 2006. http://www.aarrf.com/

Most everyone from AARRF is now on this site: http://www.findtheline.com/

Damian (who runs the site) puts on some great events and posts info about other events all over the Midwest.

disagreement with some of the site managers. :evil:
And we almost lost St Cloud as a result of that.

So they were banned from the Met. council. :flame:

And without a place to 'play' went into limbo.

Will they rise again?

I think so, they just need to dot their 'i's and cross their 'T's.

There is most certainly a place for lapping and or solo I or track days.

Perhaps LOL/SCCA should fill this need, as they should?
Then you would have a organization with the 'clout' to get sites.

Couldn't agree with you more but, seems like SCCA want's more than the locals can give for a track. Would be nice to see the club trials or HPDE events run under the SCCA flag it would give them a good position here locally.

NASA will be at Brainerd on Memorial Day W/E. It's a combined event with Vintage Races, a LOL Non-SCCA event and NASA. You'll still get the seat time plus have a lot of fun stuff to look at as well when you're not in your car. Free camping at the track too.
