How many spots are being sold, and how many are fiilled?
I think there may be concern that 400 spots are open / filled, and it will be over saturation. Mo usually does an event in November, limited to 50 cars. Just curious since our beloved Mo is MIA at te moment. These are fun events!!!

this event will be limited to less than 100 cars
so wheres all the benz guys ive seen at these events? the price is about less than half or more from what ive seen of the private track track days on here, add to that we will be having a raffle for which all racers will automatically be enrolled in and thats a pretty good deal.

It was a great event.... nice to see so many super quick/fast cars there....
Temperature was a little high for me though.... my handheld measured a high of 79 F at one point but kept fluctuating in the 70s. Hopefully in December it will be a little cooler; maybe in the low 50s

The slowest cars were running low 12;s and at least a quarter of the cars were running 11's and the rest ran 10's or better including a 2011 Jeep SRT that ran a 10.5ET@140trap. HotRod182 in his 335i ran 11.1 with a dry shot and 11.7 without. One Mustang ran a 6.7 ET@189 trap! Only a few 13's or worse due to aborted runs after bad launches. A GT-R ran 11's @123 and a Porsche also ran 11's @125.
I was the only car on 19" street tires with heavy Work wheels. I had no luck with traction as my my attempt to install my 16" wheels failed since they did not clear my brakes even after adding 3" spacers. The brake calipers were rubbing the inside radius of the wheel so I need to get 17" wheels.
I ran a 12.351@116.95 with a rolling start since I could not hook up at all. Corrected DA would yield me a 12.105@119.38 so I still have some hope.
I'm definitely making another run in December after doing a few things that should get me into the mid 11's.
1) Remove front grill and turn intake tubes towards opening to get Ram Air effect.
2) Get Drag Radials and wheels that clears my brakes.
3) Put 100 Octane gas
4) Install my vented lightweight hood and fenders.
5) Install a tighter tensioner pulley to prevent belt slippage.
6) Put ice in the rear resevoir.
7) Run in Dyno Mode
8) Learn how to do a burn-out
9) Learn how to launch without spinning out.
