I have set up a private rental the first week of October. The deposit is paid and we are good to go for some fall racing at one of the fastest dragstrips in the PNW!

Track: www.woodburndragstrip.com

Cost: $1650 split across a maximum of 15 cars. If we have 15 cars committed (and they all show up) it's only $110/person!

Includes: Both lanes (Heads-up Racing!) fully prepped with VHT, Timing/Timeslips, EMT and as many runs as you can make with ample opportunity for cool-down, tweaking, etc. (All NHRA rules apply.)

Time: 10am-4pm

Date: Friday, October 1st

Guests: Guests are welcome if they attend with a participant.

Participants: Here is the list of interested participants so far (I’ll update inline as folks confirm and the list grows):

1. Even Money, 2009 C63
2. superlubricity, 2010 C63
3. nrgy, 2008 C63
4. cek, 2010 C63 P31
5. rdl666, 2010 C63 P31
6. impulsoren, 2006 M5
7. MoMorg, 2009 G8 GT

The track director @ Woodburn is also going to invite some locals to get our participation well above 10-cars. Feel free to extend the invite to locals as well, just make sure I'm aware of who is interested so we don’t exceed 15-cars. No problem posting on other message boards. The more visibility the quicker we’ll fill the spots up.

If you are interested, please post here or email me so I can add you to the list. Make sure I have your email address as I’ll be communicating over email with the group once we get close to the day.

Note: Oregon also has Tax-free shopping and there are some great Outlet Shops in Woodburn! Bring the Significant Other! My GF will be in the stands/pits taking HD video and a ton of photos.

can you ask them to look the other way with regards to a roll cage being required if we go faster than 11.49?
maybe they will make some exceptions since its a private rental.

i definitely want to go to this!
im sure sneakyneon and shangoashe would be down as well.

Sounds awesome, and should be a great day! It will be great to see everyone again.

I have a feeling we will reach the 15 car limit easily. Is there a particular reason why it has to be limited to 15 cars and say not 20 or 25? Even with that number I think we would get all the runs we need, right? Just curious, just hoping for a great turnout with a bunch of cool cars.

Thanks for setting this up Superlubricity. Oct 1st should work out great.

I envy your predicament haha!

superlubricity

You are just too fast jikjak.

Spoke to Gene @ Woodburn about this last time. 11.49 ETs and quicker and you'll need a roll bar. Throw some street tires on and go for a new MPH record.

I believe this is the max. capacity that they staff for.

My pleasure. It's going to be a blast!

jikjak

ahh damn that sucks. i really want to get more practice out there and id like to get into the tens this year.

are there any other tracks nearby that we can get a private rental at?

pacific raceways?

maybe this place?

Woodburn is the only place in the PNW that does rentals. I've personally called/emailed everybody. Gene has been great to work with.

Good luck getting into the tens.

The Density Altitude on 10/01/09 @ 10:53am was: -152 feet (Relative Density: 100.45 %)

jikjak

well maybe its still worth it to practice launches if theres nowhere else for me to go. i can always let off before the 1/4 mile mark.
maybe later when ive had enough launches i can try and bust out some fast times. :P
ill keep an eye on the thread and then post up if i can make it.

ill also try giving mission raceway in bc a call and ask them about private rentals. have u contacted them?

superlubricity

Would be cool if you can make it.

Check with SebringSilver. He was working on a Mission Rental.

jikjak

i think hes trying to arrange for the whole track to do some laps.
i just spoke with mission raceway and its 2k(canadian) for ten cars. thats also for one lane only. 2500 for 2 lanes.

That's what happens when you have too much power T.....

Bring both your drag setup and street tires, drag tires for practicing your launches and street tires for testing your MPH. At the end you might want to go for your 10 second run and if I may suggest have the track crew post the 60' times on the board. This way if you get a good launch stay in it and go for your pb, if not let off and try again.

OR....you could meet me at Sacramento and go for the gusto all day. I guess this is the upside of having a small track that might be willing to look the other way. Bring that Sneaky guy with ya and we'll have a blast!!!!

superlubricity

I agree. C'mon down jikjak.

cek

I have blocked the day off on my calendar. Baring any lame-*** meetings that get scheduled I will be there.

Even Money

Excellent! Get some drag radials!!

RStevens63

Looks like a killer list of cars, best of luck guys!!!

cek

Not sure about that. I figure that by Oct 1 I will be right about the point where my original set of tires will need replacing. I figure what better way to ensure I need a new than to do some drag racing.

I doubt regularly hitting the drag strip is in my future, so no desire to invest in more tires.

October is a bit early to change over to winter tires, so i do have predicament there.

nrgy

Just checking in to see if this is still on? And when do we need to submit our payment, and to who?

superlubricity

Oh, it's on!

I'm just getting back into town after some vacation time. I'll post all the details this week.

Keep spreading the the word. The more cars that show the better! If you post on other forums, please let others know.

nrgy

Alright, sounds great! I'll be sure to spread the word.

B.E.R.U.A.N.G

superlubricity

Awesome.

JM

SIGH!

Why so far.

superlubricity

Get some friends, drive down and make a weekend of it. It's going to be a blast!

superlubricity

I'm currently recruiting Dodge Charger/Challenger, Pontiac G8 and various LS1/2/6 owners.

Keep spreading the word!
