*****Famoso Raceway - Private Track Rental - 11/21/2009 Feedback and Pics!!*****
Ladies and gentlemen,
It is this time of year again.... I have reserved Famoso Raceway 1/4 mile drag strip on November 21st for our exclusive use. We will have both lanes available to us as well as full use of the entire facility including the barbeque grills
Last time the event was limited to 35 cars (not including the 3 different waiting lists); this time, we will open the event up to maybe 50 or even 60 cars depending on demand. Spots will be given on a first-sign-up-first-serve-basis, so please don't add your name unless you know for sure that you will be attending, as I would like to try and get an accurate count this time.
The payment per car is undetermined at this point and will likely depend on how many cars will want to attend. To be safe, however, I would estimate between $200 to $250 per car for now. Yes, I know.... Famoso (unfortunately) is one of the expensive tracks. Exact payment will be determined before November 2nd and payment should be submitted no later than November 8th as I have to meet with the owner on November 9th to give him payment and finalize a few things.
Now for the good news.....
Instead of trying to race very early in the morning (to get optimum conditions), we will start later in the day and stop 1-hour (or longer) AFTER sunset depending on conditions. At Famoso, right after sunset, temps drop very fast and so does DA At worst case scenario we'll get a high of 72 F during the day and 58 F shortly after sunset. At best case scenario, we'll get a high of 52 F and a low of 44 F.
Track Address:
==========
Auto Club Famoso Raceway
33559 Famoso Rd.
McFarland CA. 93250
Here is a quick video from our last event.....

Damn....this might be a bad weekend but I'll see if the wifey will let me play. My in-laws will be in town this weekend and I'm pretty sure it might be rude if I leave when they come...pretty sure, not positive about the rude part .

I just found out that there might be an event that I can't miss out on on that day. Let's pray that I can get out of it. When is there an opportunity to get with the fastest benz's in the west AND for me to get some decent times so I don't end up the slowest E55 in the country...

I've gotten 3 requests so far to push the event 1 week later making it on Saturday, November 21st. I will check with the track owner tomorrow if that date is available and good to go. Would that still be okay with everyone on the list?
I can't wait to meet everyone again, I had a blast last time
