Have You Seen The Fastest 3 Miles of Road in Minnesota?

Norm Nelson

If you watched the Grand Prix of Minnesota on the streets of downtown Minneapolis, you’ve had a taste of what sports car road racing is all about.

The Grand Prix is gone, but road racing is alive and well in Minnesota. On two holiday weekends this summer, cars ranging from thundering Corvettes to agile, open wheel formula racers will tackle the three challenging miles of beautiful Brainerd International Raceway. Some of these cars are on display at the auto show.

One of America’s fastest road courses, BIR has a one-mile straight-away and ten demanding corners, with many vantage points for exciting viewing, plus on-site camping.

It’s affordable family entertainment. Plan to join us there on the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
