I just called my manager and he told me willow springs will do it for us for $3250.00 for the whole day, any week day closed session for my team mates to practice even if we dont race down south. I was thinking it would be more $ but that works for me.
are you up to the challenge? you brought this to yourself

Just in case you don't know this, I also happen to hold several lap records at SpeedZone and Dromo1. Don't think that I don't know my way around a track. I just hate getting paint chips on my hood with my car but now that it's already got a few and needs a new carbon fiber hood, I might as well start tracking the car regularly. But I want the car MAXED OUT when I hit the track. Why can't you just wait a couple of weeks. Then I'll take you and CC on ANY Track. The main reason I've got to wait is the Quaifes and Brembo upgrades will make a huge difference.

Blah blah blah, more excuse, blah blah blah, more excuse, brag a little more, blah blah blah. If you really know your way around the track, prove it. Don't act like an internet tough guy / keyboard racer.

Are you kidding me? I was born ready. I just need to install my Quaifes on Wednesday, and then proceed with the SC swap with MechTech followed by Renntech Headers, Cats, Exhaust and pulley system (boost of MP122H is only 6.5 psi and I'll raise it to 7.3psi). My goal is to lap you every two times around the track. I really don't like Willow Springs since there are not enough long straight strenches where I can really smoke you. Better come up with a different track to get me interested.
You realize this guy means business? and obviously will take your slip, be it flat bedded back to his house or driven, why don't you apologize and politely ask to be relieved of this stupid race?A)You will definitely loose this race, now you're desprately trying to turn this into a drag race challenge, (Cherry picking a course w/extra long straight aways
)B)You blow this off, and back out basically continuing your current pattern, these guys will never let you live it down, you'll be tormented probably to the point of never posting here again
So why don't you excercise that USC diploma of yours, come back to reality?
no disrespect meant here..... Oh yeah so how do you plan on smoging the mp122? since it will be a one off 1st and probably the last mp122 to ever be installed on a Merc, means no carb certification.
Just making more headaches for yourself man....
Come to think of it, I had one hell of a time getting my S class smogged w/hpsII mp112, on her Jim, did help me quite a bit in finally getting it to pass, kudos to him and his team on that day, w/out their support I would've never been able sell that car.

I may have to go the Kleemann route after all. That might be my best option at this point. I'll probably just take a scenic drive there next week and rent a car for a week and drive back to pick it up.I just picked up my tax refund and annual bonus which should take care of all the goodies to complete the transformation and then some. I've got to be armed to the teeth to make up for any shady moves on the track like trying to cut me off as I attempt to pass.

Hate to say it but your credibility is shot. As what Thericker said, just apologize and move on. No disrespect here.

Why do you think that's the case? You REALLY don't think I've driven on tracks in my life? Do you REALISTICALLYthink my car can't keep up whether on straights or bends? Have'nt you talked on the phone with Linh who just test drove my car last night? It's insane how much power it has. And BTW...I've got the best suspension system made in the PSS9s AND the Stock C55 brakes are still better than CC's or Trekman's.
You DO have a good point here. Damn never occurred to me I may have to go the Kleemann route after all. That might be my best option at this point. I'll probably just take a scenic drive there next week and rent a car for a week and drive back to pick it up.
I just picked up my tax refund and annual bonus which should take care of all the goodies to complete the transformation and then some. I've got to be armed to the teeth to make up for any shady moves on the track like trying to cut me off as I attempt to pass.

You could drive a brand new C6 Z06, w/coil over shocks etc.. Stop Tech brakes blah blah...and still have your *** handed to you if you don't have the skills, but now you're saying you do?? So I guess will have to wait & see
It would be a damned shame to see you loose what you've fought so hard to get

BUT I'd still like to have a friendly race for a 6-pack of your choice to see how I'd fare. That offer goes out to CC as well. I can make it to the track without the SC/Headers,etc.. for now and just put the LSD and Brake upgrades and have some fun with ME driving. I'll bring a video camera to record and learn some driving techniques from you guys as well as the instructors. When is the next track event and where? No braggadacio here just want to have some fun and testing to see how these mods will hold up under extreme conditions.

How about CynCarvin32? He's no pro. Will you race him in your ghetto rig?

But of course, I always enjoy a little verbal jostle 
but don't tell me I'm the one who instigated everything.I still offered to race them both for bragging rights on this forum and some cold ones.
Besides, I forgot that it would have been an illegal contract 
that is unenforceable anyway.
