MD/VA/DC Summer Track Day Interest

Mike and I are wondering if the gang would like another track day in the near future or rather wait until Sep/Oct when the temps gets cooler.

Just trying to get a feel of the interest level.

Since our last track day:

Mike has added - EVO IC Mod & purchased 16" rims with DR's
I have added - Kleemann IC Mod & LSD

Spero

It's all about having fun and learning your cars potential. Always will be someone faster no matter how fast you run. Last time I was at the track, I was with speed bikes clipping 150mph in the 1/4.

All is relative my friend

i'm not sure if i can make anymore of these track days. since third year of med school is starting, they don't give us any breaks, at least not on the weekdays, which is when i assume it's going to be. but give me a date and i'll see if i can make it.

I believe its 250 for a C280. I will be going on saturday afternoon. Let me know if you want to come. I convinced Oliver at Speed Tuning USA to come to a shop where we can dyno our cars after he does the tuning to see how much power we really gain. There will be a dyno on site if you want to dyno before and after (of course you have to pay for the dyno).
