I'll let you know. Let me just verify that everyone is coming. We have 20 in the bracket race and even numbers makes it easier to bracket. If he don't mind not running in the bracket race, then that's fine. He still can run all he want's with us. If that's cool, then just post the name and I'll add to the list.

Yeah I will be there at 8AM to help Evan out, but between 8-9AM is perfect. If you need directions from Scottsdale let me know, its about 40min away from Scottsdale, not a bad ride though.

So how much would you like us to bring for food? I'm guessing that is NOT included in the $25 to race lol.

That's ok, It's our way of saying thanks for making the drive to race with us.

Please just check this thread and the number next to your name is the number of spectators coming with you. Just let me know to add to it if you are bringing someone.

Yeah the Food is on us. I will be getting a bunch of brugers, dogs and what not along with some soda, water and other drinks. Evan is bringin a grill and stuff so after the races we will eat some food. Grillin style. If you got any request let me know before Friday when i go do some food shopping. If anyone has some chairs they are willing to bring that would be cool too. We will set up an area were we can all hang out at.

So I think Ken from RENNtech will be attending this event. Ken is a great guy and a friend of mine it will be cool to have him come out to race and hang out. Maybe some Dyno-Comp guys. Word is news of this event has made its way around locally. So good work to all of you about spreading the word. So we will wait and see what monsters show up.

Give me names for sure by thursday. I'll have a list for the gate on Friday. Who's racing who's spectating.

Jturkel's friend can't make it and possibly 2 others. So I may have 3 spots available. First come basis. Won't know on the other 2 until later this week.

PM me first and last names either here or on the other site.
Thanks,
Evan

I'm still in... track was in good shape a few weeks back. Hopefully weather cooperates and we see plenty of 11's. Maybe Mikey can get into the 11.3x range?

Remember to pm me your name. Thanks. Yes weather is going to be probably the best we will have all year. Low 70's for a high, mostly 50's-60's for the morning. We just need the race cars to lay down that rubber for us and make it sticky.

High of 70 low of 50, should be good. DA will definately get below 1700' first thing in the morning or later that night. I'll have my portable weather station with me to get up to the minute DA results. Get them drag radials ready, it's going to be the perfect day to set some records. We won't get that negative DA that the east coast gets but will be killer for us.

just got a bunch of food for us all. Burgers, dogs, bratwursts, macaroni salad. we will have some bottled water track side you you all. I hear there is some other good stuff being brought too, We got trophies to give out. (got to earn them). this is going to be fun for sure. Just because your not the fastest does not mean you wont get a trophy I thik day time high in at speedworld will be 70 that will make for sub 2000ft D/A its all going to be about hooking up. I think I'm going to film a bunch of the runs and put together a little video.

Its $25 to race, The food and drinks that Evan and I bring are Free. We will be giving out some trophies after the races along with a BBQ

Race fuel is like $8 gallon so roll in on fumes. If you are coming from the East Side there is a Race fuel pump at the corner of Union Hills & Cave Creek road. for 7.99 a gallon (100oct).

I'm slow so i need the added 10hp from race fuel. Cant wait to see your car rip it up. I have never seen another AMG run at the track so I cant wait to see what you guys put down. I hope there are other cars out there that are non AMG-powered so we dont have to race each other all the time. If we do that I will never win a race Goal for the weekend is a 12.80 or better.

my roommate is gonna be racing his slightly modded (catback, intake) LS1. i think he is gonna be putting some radials on it. should be a good race. its definitely quick and he has the driver mod (lol), but you would probably beat it.

you should at least be able to run an 11.9x and if you can figure out how to launch, 11.7x. i've seen bone stock e55's run 12.0-12.1 all day over there.
