I was looking for some info on BIR (brainard international raceway) in MN. I heard they have track days where u can run the road course for a small fee. Has anyone tried this and what are the rules?

I have only been there once to the NHRA drags, but have heard about track days also, maybe this will help; http://brainerdraceway.com/for-drivers/ I found these on the bottom of the page.

I think it normally runs on Wednesdays. I'm looking forward to finally getting there sometime this summer if I can ever decide on what color to paint my 'Bird.
