Anyone going tomorrow night? I _think_ I've successfully obtained a hall pass.

I'm likely out unless/until it gets cooler.

I can only take some many 12.0xx runs in this warm air.

When one of our Wednesdays has a high temperature in the low 70's, I'll be there.

I'm going to aim for next Wednesday, the 11th. Hopefully it's cooler, and I'll have my reflash by then. Anyone up, cek, sup, avb, nrgy...??

Looks like the high temp will be in the low 70's tomorrow. I'm going to head over there after work.

I'll be hunting for that elusive 11.XXX run before I install my long tubes.

My previous best runs in worse conditions.

1.826 60', 12.028 @ 115.87 MPH (1/8 Mile 7.769 @ 92.40 MPH)
1.861 60', 12.059 @ 116.94 MPH (1/8 Mile 7.835 @ 92.50 MPH)
1.861 60', 12.070 @ 116.70 MPH (1/8 Mile 7.837 @ 92.37 MPH)
1.844 60', 12.078 @ 115.56 MPH (1/8 Mile 7.810 @ 91.76 MPH)

Are helmets required at these?

What’s the latest I can show up and still participate?

Anything else I need to know/do to participate?

Crap. It might be. It isn't on their schedule for today. That blows.

I'll call to confirm.

Well this blows. TNT is officially over @ Pacific Raceways for the rest of the year.

So much for my uncorrected 11-second pass before headers.

This makes the Private Dragstrip Rental in Woodburn, Oregon much more lucrative.

Looks like the date is going to be Friday October 1st. I'll post once confirmed.

C'mon guys make it happen.

Awesome.

I'm pretty sure cek will join us too. I'll also reach out to rdl666 w/ the 2010 P31 in Oregon and a few of the other locals.

I've got a buddy with an M5 in Oregon and another with a G8 in Fort Lewis that are also interested.

RLx02, can you make it on the 1st?

Spread the word if you know of others.

I'll create a new post once I get confirmation from Gene @ Woodburn.

Wow, I can't believe the ended the season already at PR! Another alternative, though I've never been, is Bremerton Raceway http://www.bremertonraceway.com/.

It looks like they have something going on this Friday, and then a few days in September.

Maybe Bremerton in September if the weather is nice.

C'mon, nrgy. Don't ignore the dragstrip rental. Get your MHP-powered beast to Woodburn and help support your local peeps. The more that participate the better it is for everyone.

Haha...hey I'm not ignoring. You can count me in. Sounds like it would be a fun cruise down to Woodburn and then hitting the strip. It would be fun to see a variety of cars there though, especially competition from the BMW or Audi crowd. Or even some exotics.

That's awesome, nrgy. It's going to be a blast.

RLx02, what about you? I know you also have some buddies with exotics. Like nrgy said, it would be sweet if they could join!

I'll call tomorrow to confirm everything.

So is it a track rental or drag strip?

An acquaintance of mine recently bought a silver f430 scud (to go along with his DBS that mother effer)...I'll ask him if he's down.

Time to take my freaking drag tires off before I even made a single pass on the strip lol.

Based on interest from last time and a few new inquiries, we'll have quite a showing. Gene (Woodburn Director) is also going to get some local cars to attend, so expect the total attendance to be close to 12-15 cars.

The tentative list so far:

Even Money, 2009 C63
superlubricity, 2010 C63
nrgy, 2008 C63
cek, 2010 C63 P31
rdl666, 2010 C63 P31
impulsoren, 2006 M5
MoMorg, 2009 G8 GT

I'll create a new post with all the details once he confirms them.
