I'd like to rent Famoso Raceway drag strip on Saturday 12/13/2008. The track is one of the best and fastest tracks in South California, and sits only at 650 ft elevation. Temps are expected to be between 45 F and 55 F all day, and DA should be around -1100 ft between 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., then it's expected to climb slowly to a high of +600 ft by 2:00 p.m. (but by then we'll probably have stopped racing).

Now the bad news: the track fees are a little high. They basically want $5k. So the more cars, the lower the price per car becomes.

I'd like to know how many people would be interested in participating, and hopefully we can make it happen. I'll start a list of the people who I know are in for sure. Please add your name to the list and update it if you're interested in joining us....

EDIT: Price has just been finalized to $258 / car unless we exceed 30 cars. Please PayPal payment to jsunner@hotmail.com before December 8th, 2008. With your payment, please also include your full name and the car you're bringing, as this list will be used for admission at the gate.

EDIT: Here is the track information:

Auto Club Famoso Raceway
33559 Famoso Rd.
McFarland CA. 93250

I'd like to say I'll be there but without a ballpark figure of price, I just can't commit. We's po folk round here.

Blue_Monster

myself +3 are good to go as long as price does not exceed 200 per

MB_Forever

Hey Blue_Monster, how is it going? How is the beast running these days? I still remember when you ran 11.70s on street tires and an exhaust leak in a high DA at Fontana You shocked a lot of people that day. At Famoso, your car will run low to mid 11s easy

rarfinancial

Hey man, just say you're in and don't worry about the price.. All we want is to have the MBZ's show up and have a blast. Leave the rest to Mo and myself. The price will be well worh the day LETS SEE A SHOW OF HANDS OF WHO IS IN WITH THE RIGHT PRICE...

Jakpro1

Think I've asked this a few times before but I keep forgetting. If a few of us get lucky and even come close to MIR times that ran today, do we get the boot?

How **** are they?

MB_Forever

They'll give one warning. If you do it a second time, they will stop you from running.

MB_Forever

Okay guys, looks like final price will be $258 / car

Please send payment to jsunner@hotmail.com This is a verified premier PayPal business account. Please include your full name and the car you will be bringing, as this list will be used to allow entry at the gates.

Please sign up when you can. We need to have the money to track officials by December 8th.

I hope a lot of people can make it......

SHOW DOWN TIME...JUICEE 63 is first on my hit list ( I owe you one )
Jangy may put up a good fight ( we'll see what I get done )
MO I will make sure to tape up my tail lights so you won't get sick at seein them all day..
I'll post up a bigger list later but this should get things goin for now.

IS THERE KNOW ONE ELSE

juicee63

The Financial man is going to be suprised... I have been secretly working on a mod w/o disclosure.

Yep I am eating. I likely smash the 11.59 The wittle C63 put up! LOL I hear someone ran an 11.19 but a stripper sucked down the time slip?

SL55_Forever

<--------- Official photographer/videographer will be there!

rarfinancial

Vids and pix this will be a record breaking day

rarfinancial

What do you mean? Will they stop us if we go to fast are you kidding?

juicee63

You need a roll bar/cage if you hit sub 11.40.

Yeah so two runs sub 11.40 gets you booted.

bassn_07

Is there a chance of coming up that same and paying at the gate? As of now I have something scheduled but I'm hoping things work out and that day becomes available. I would love to make it down and finally put some faces to these names. This would be the first time running my car on a track and I couldn't think of a better way of doing it. I've been holding off due to not having my cooling mods installed but I should have it installed shortly. I hope this will be a option for people who can't fully commit. Either way I'm sure it'll be blast and I hope you guys tear it up.

BenzoBoi

Am I included in yer group?

BenzoBoi

We won't have the same great conditions as the guys had at MIR but it's prolly the best shot that the socal guys have at anywhere near those times...

MB_Forever

Update: guys, please register and pay as soon as you know you can make it because it turns out, we're going to cap the list somewhere between 10 to 15 cars from this site. Priority will be given based on first-come-first-serve basis.

So far, this the most recent list:

1) Juicee63 - CLS63 - VRP/Weight Saving Mods
