11.34 @ 127 .... but that was last fall. Some things may have changed over the winter

Damn - too short of a notice!
Haha - Porsche can't possibly make the Sacto challenge today though :\. I haven't spoken with the owner since yesterday BUT, he will definitely be here on the GTG and will "give you a try". Rumor has it that the CarLAB track has more than enough 1/4 mile straight line space to determine ANY outcome.
I will pass the next round of fighting words off to him soon.

p.s. Ben - you know where my money lies.

For those of you who don't know Ben from other car forums, he's an expert drag guy & has owned (and still does) many VERY fast street cars. I recall his RT10 Viper was putting out close to 850 rwhp.....think Ben detuned it a bit since it was a handful to drive on the street.
That P car better hang on to his azz. Ben's cars are serious indeed (I'm sure his is SL is likely close to being a 10 sec car).

1989 Toyota Tercel EZ - dyno'd @ 70whp/77wtq
Never been to a GTG this big before.... do ppl usually show up on time or not?
Fremont crew will leave around 11.15AM... We may go to Fry's first on Brokaw to meet San Jose crew... This means we'll likely arrive there around 11.45-12. Is this too late?
Ben, "11SEC SL", huh? So if you break 10's, you need to change your license plate then...
Oh yeah.... let's set the 1/4-mile race between SL65 & P-car.... it'll be awesome....
what are the rules? Street/drag tires? Shots/no shots? Am a big fan of both cars.... so I'm torn between the two....

670 Nuttman St. Ste. #101/102 - you probably missed it by a hair
. It's a "corner" location you're looking for this time and the huge lot you're looking for is just a bit further down Nuttman.flip
Everyone okay with BBQ? I know someone mentioned to me the need for Salmon haha - let me know, I can forward the menu information rather quickly :p.

Special request Kobe steak for Danny! Hey it took awhile getting people to sign up organizing this list, and then some,j/k plus how many have seen a turnout this huge for Benz's in Norcal!!

The real Kobe Beef is no longer available in the US due to some trade embargo to protect the American cattle industry during the mad cow disease episode we had a few years ago.
Today, we do have American Kobe Beef which is baisically Japanese cows that have been bred here. The difference is not noticeable unless you're doing something like a carpaccio.
Thanks again Danny for organizing such a successful meet.

Only your dealership down there is that awesome. Our dealer up here is totally chang with the carwashes. And when they do do it, they always miss spots.

I used to be neighbored with the guy who owned the dealership. He never paid any special attention to us.
"chang" is that some sort of implication that all Chinese people are cheap?
