MIR Mercedes shootout in Nov/Dec?

I was thinking about putting together a Mercedes shootout in nice cold air at one of the best tracks around and getting a bunch of people from across the country together at the same track and same day. Would be really fun!!! Also gives some of the guys time to recover from their crank eating pullies loll Lots of people building fast benzes and everything should be good to go by then!

Edit: first available weekend is Saturday November 10th which I have reserved for us. It is the week after world cup finals so add long as it doesn't rain/snow that week the prep will be great!!

Alright, fine!

But if I'm doing this, no more of this tune-only bullchit, that I've been toying around with. I'll just go snag the overall SL record and be done with it. Patooey!

You don't have to have a fast car to run. We all started somewhere and if we get good air you will probably beat your previous best time.

build threads can be interesting, however, in my experience they hardly ever turn out the way they were intended. i'm more of a quiet let them see in the end kind of person anyway...

Why is that funny? You and I been talking for about 6 month or longer about me coming up. Well, hell yeah I am going to bring my wife! She is bad *** and I would hope everyone could have their wife or GF share in their same passion and sport.. Better than trying to sneak money from your spouse or partner so you can feed the addiction..
