Ok, I just got off the phone with Jennifer at Sacramento Raceway and she said that they have a couple dates that we could do this. The first date is Oct 7th 9am-4pm and the next date is Oct 28th 9am-4pm.
She said that the cost would vary based on the amount of cars coming. She said that if we get a head cound and get back to her she could give me a price. So the BIG question is who is in? (by the way we would have the track to ourselves)
1- Hammer Down
2- SLK55R

Ahhhh, *****...gonna be out of town. Friggin sister in laws house in Denver. Fun fun.
Looks like I will have to come down for a solo run before then.
Will keep you posted. If everything works right, should have VRUS throttle body installed late next week or first part of the following, then hikin it down to Sac to see what she'll do.
Is the track pretty friendly, not to G-Thuggish right? Hate when it's packed full of ricers. I guess if Trey can bring the 200K beast, I can bring mine.

jakpro1, the oct 28th date would be for us only! The price depends on how many cars we will have. more cars = more $$$ due to staffing the snack shack and restroom service etc... I will most likely need a some sort of official count this week. We may not have enough cars. anyone want to post on m5 board? corvette board? porsche board?

Well good people it does not look like it will happen. We need more cars to be able to rent the track for the day. October 28th 9am-4pm. We need atleast 10 cars or else we are on our own. Either way is fine with me, I just thought it would be cool for all of us to get together, hang out and make some runs.

Ok I just picked my jaw off of the floor. Its 5k just for track rental and about 3k for insurance and other stuff. Jennifer said that we could go on a Wednesday for $15 but it would be us and about 150 others. Friday is a test and tune day, single lane passes for time. (no grudge racing) $50 and Saturday is $50 as well but it will be as crowded as Wednesday!!!!!
There is one more date available Oct 29th for this year where we could tag on with another club...something something volkswagon of Northern CA and the cost could be shared between us and them.
any suggestions!!!!!
