For people that didn't do this last time you can shave off time by taking everything out of your car that is extra weight... especially spare tires!!! It works ask FongFlex. Also same applied when autocrossing.

I'll definitely be there, not sure what kind of times I'll get but I did get a ECU upgrade recently. Going to put my car on DYNO MODE to see if that makes any difference too. I'm sure I'll be one of the slower cars there. It'll be fun though!

Go to the Sunoco web site and under GT100 fuel locations. I have not seen a huge difference when running 93/94 to 100. The biggest difference it that my pocket has less $$$$$

Spoke with Alex last week and his M5 is scheduled to come in on Friday so I think he will bring the wifes new 7 series. Chris from NY will not be able to make it since his car is in the shop getting Kleemann headers and IC mod. Tom also said that he has a schedule conflict. We should still have over 20 guys

I am looking forward to have some runs against the new Z06 and the SL65 abd CL600

Are those cars stock or modded?

I will be calling Kim tomorrow with final head count. Price per person will not be more then $100

Will we start running at 11am or are they letting us in at 11am? Should we line up earlier so we can pay, etc? BTW, I'm bringing my E55 tomorrow, not my Z06.

No Z06 I was looking forward to seeing that thing eat up the track!

We should start running at 11am, so I would try and arrive at 10:30am. That way we can all sign the waiver sheet and I can collect $$$. To make it easy, the fee will be $100 pp.

I'm not coming from VA but if you're willing to hop on the metro I can pick you up at shady grove station. How much tire pressure are you guys going to run? This will be my first time running so go easy on me!
I thought it would be cheaper than $100 considering the number of people we have.

Page 1 of this post says $76 PP if we get 15 people. The list has 23... I would think it would get even lower pp????

04E55 AMG, what's the total for the track rental?
Thnx..

I have another private track day on the 11th at MIR and I'm trying to get the car prepped for that day. I'll be running on ET streets and spraying, so the car has to be trailered (which is a PITA and I don't want to do it 2x in a week)

Sounds good. I'll probably get there a little after 10am and just be waiting at the gates. I've only raced at Capitol 2x, so I'm not as familiar with it as MIR, M/D or 75/80.

Thanks again for setting up the event, should be great weather (wish it were about 15 deg cooler!).

I'll be meeting you guys at the track instead of Rockville. My dad came into town and he'll be with me tomorrow. He's a 70 year old guy that wants to get some runs in the E also. See you guys there tomorrow. Should be a good time.

Thnx..

It all depends on how many folks show up. The breakdown is as follows per Kim:

Over 9 and Up to 15 people $1250 $84pp (lowest price point if get 15)

Every on over 15 is $100pp.

I just assumed to keep everything fair we would just average everthing in. So the more that show up the closer to $100 pp it will be. We can figure out exact numbers at the event.

If all 23 show up with it would average out to $90 pp.

Hope this makes sense
