Hey Ahmad..

Since I won't have my car by the 20th, can I still come by and hang out?

Better yet, can I ride shotgun with you or anyone here?

Finally, do I still have to pay the fee? If yes, then I would be willing to split with you if I sit in your car. :-)

p.s. I can't believe it.. the car will be here in the US 3 days before track day, but I can't get my hands on it till the week after ! ......

Their seems to be a lot of uncertainty who will attend. I don't want to come up and see two cars running

We should be good on the number of cars but if you want to bring some friends you're more than welcome to.

Just added Add "tobasco"- SL65

Keep in mind that I won't be able to bring my car on the track day, because it will arrive in Baltimore on the 17th. I have to wait until the week after, for delivery.

I will come in my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE, and it will be parked outside.... far away... don't want to hurt its feelings...

30% chance of rain on friday fella's. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, theres a viper that said he would want to come as well as a grand national. If theres any precipitation the track will be closed.

Houston, we may have a problem. I have told a bunch of people about this and when I emailed Kim at Capitol to make sure we're good for friday she sent me an email back this monring saying that she has someone elses name down. I have documentation (e-mail) saying that we have the track on the 20th but I dont know whats gonna happen. I am waiting on her response.
The email exchange:

Uh oh.. maybe I jinxed it because of my delivery delays...

I just got this email from my local dealer today..
"Hello Shahed,
The boat is docking tomorrow. And I should receive it by the 26th. ... "

At least it will get to Arlington a day earlier than scheduled, even though it is arriving in the US a day later...

I called Kim and left a message, emailed her twice and STILL havent received a response. I talked to MIR and they said someone has a lane rented out (16 fords) but were more than happy to give us the other lane. Positives are that we get the track from 9-5 as opposed to 11-4 AND they seem much more professional. Downside is its further away. Info is at www.mirdrag.com
Let me know people. If I dont get a response from Kim at Capitol by 10am tomorrow I will reserve MIR and the event will be held there. Sorry for the inconvenience. I already took the day off so either way I'm gonna rent a track dammit!

ok, finally got a response. Kim said we can run lane and the other guys run the other lane. Do you all prefer MIR or Capitol?

Ok, I will get Capitol since everybody I spoke to says Capitol. We will run one lane and the other renter will run on the other.

well that kind of stinks, that'll cut down on the number of runs for sure. I'll be there, but the weather isn't looking good at all.

I'm gonna have to pass...

* My car isn't in my hands yet...
* It's going to rain
* Some work stuff needs my attention, so I will do it on Thu and Fri

But I hope y'all meet up again, and I can always build a new list, and show up with my car next time.
