MD/VA/DC Fall 1/4 Track Day

Spoke with Kim at Capitol Raceway and we have the track reserved for Friday November, 4th from 11am-4pm.

We will run 1/4 times until our cars blow up

Will have some great head to head runs with a 2006 Z06, 2006 997 S, and a 2006 M5 (Alex make sure it is by that date).

Please respond to the thread under Events since space will be limited. Cost will be under $100 a person.

Please someone who is in to video come prepared since all would love to see how these cars stack up against each other in real world runs

Feel like Christmas Eve.

Hi Spero, how've you been? I'm psyched about this event, so please count me in. I bought a g-tech and tested the 0-60 and even the quarter mile with my cousin in the passenger seat.
0-60 was 4.23, quarter mile was 15.56 at 113mph. My 60 feet was 2.135 and I think I can improve it if i manage to get a better launch. I wonder if I'll be able to get better times Nov 4th. I'll be doing so more launching practices.

With the new Z06 being released, my car is only barely faster than a mildly modded C6 Z06 My only advantage is traction

Speed Demons: just got back from the Milan drag strip in Michigan last night. Best run was 12.7 at 112 using power braking. Gave me a 2.0 60' time. Need tips to get down to mid or low 12's. I know she can do it-Man I love this beast, you should have seen the looks on the hot rod crowds faces!!! Priceless :v

2005 Brilliant Silver E55
Spero, got your vmail...CONGRATS!!! on the newborn bro! Lunch next week or the following is fine, man you better take care of the wife or she will take your toy away.

M5, man not exactly sure when I'll get it, heck BMW didn't even give any to their owners yet. If the car gets here by the track day you know I'm in...so much for break in period but then I never broke in any cars properly. I chipped my RS6 with 187 miles on it E55 I think had 800 or so miles when chipped with ECU and I remember ripping off that stupid sticker on both the E and CL. You know, the one that says less than 1000 miles drive under 85MPH and less than 4500 RPM, yeah whatever

If the M is not here by then I want to take the 750 and see if it really can hit 13's
