Unfortunately, I am out, car is going into the shop tomorrow for its A service (I do have tires on order atleast), but more importantly, I'm stuck at work dealing with fun federal clients and a short deadline.

Great turnout but the weather sucked and the track wasn't the usual sticky prep.

Well, hopefully everyone had fun racing!!
No breakdowns or carnage makes for some good racing. Lol
There will be another rental in November I hope.

Always fun racing/watching. Unfortunately there was some breaking for a few but nothing that cant be fixed.

I am starting to plan the next one but have a few questions for everyone:

1) Did you get the number of runs that you wanted in (racers)? Do you think you would have if the outlaw cars weren't there?
2) Should we do 2 rentals (mid Oct weekday and early Nov on weekend) or 1 last rental at the end of Oct on a weekday?

I want everyone to be happy with the rentals, otherwise there is no point in doing them. The outlaw cars are badass to watch but take forever to line up and run. I'm thinking without them we could have no/minimal lines

I had a great time 20 runs I didn't see a problem it was fun to watch the outlaws I had zero problem with them other then that one jerk @ff yelling at the track manager guy I think he shouldve gotten his a$$ kicked right then and there! Other then that it was good definatly a plus with 2 lanes! My biggest problem is there are no c63s no 63 at all I see post on here all day from ny nj Maryland nc and were ever else let's get them out! When there's 10 gtrs and not one c63 sounds weird!! I'm down October nov whenever as long as it's a weekday

Thanks again for Organizing this and thanks to everyone for being helpful and more importantly just nice!

That c63 sounded awesome... I never get to hear my car from the outside

Although.. I find myself jamming on the throttle when I go through tunnels....

Late to the party here due to some travel north.....

I had a freakin' BLAST. No question I am hooked now...lol.

I know those with experience were a bit disappointed in the day's numbers, but I have no reference so I couldn't have been happier with my runs. My goals were modest (mostly revolving around having fun and not killing myself or my car), and I saw consistent improvement in my ET's,so it was easy to be thrilled.

No question these cars are tricky to launch, but I am hoping to break her into the 11's next time out. Of course I will probably spend two years and $20k and never break my PB from this first trip...lol.

I would love to get my skill/car to an 11.7@120 run on street tires.
My PB is a 12.03 ET, a 117.6 trap and a 1.91 60'. Wonder how much more power I need for 2.4 mph?

My buddy shot a video of my race against the 911TT and the GTR which I will post links to once he actually uploads it...lol. I know I got lucky, but what a rush beating those two cars.

Great seeing everyone again, can't wait for the next time out.

Oh and a big thank you to Ahmad!
