I took a vacation day for the last one, and was answering my phone at 115 mph plus at the big end of the track.

I have little control over my work schedule, unfortunately. But I have every intention of making it to the rental.

Possibly an M5/M6 or 997tt...maybe even a pre-owned Bentley GT...definitely NOT another AMG thanx to all the B.S. & the run-around I'm getting from the dealer concerning the brakes

Still on vacation, guys. Sorry for the delay. It is still ON for March 10th.

I do not know which checks have come in yet. But we should still have a couple of slots open. If you want to attend, please let me know.

I will likely get calls and e-mails from other folks three days before the event trying to get in, so please reserve your slot now.

Anything finalized on this date and time?
How about a final dollar total also?

Got a budy with a 05 Mustang that might be interested.

Still waiting on a few checks, fellas. I am reserving spots for those who indicated that they wanted in, but will have to open it up next week.

Cost is $200 per car. If it was missed in the thread - it is set for Monday, March 10th

Most checks are in. I received a check from a fellow with the first name of Michael who lives on Staten Island. I am having trouble figuring out who he is. If it is anyone on this board, please send me a PM with your contact information. Thanks.

List so far:

Multiowner - Modded M5
Kelster - Dinan S3 E39 M5
Oldgixxer - Stock E63 on DR's
Machc5 - Maybe his CLK63 BS
Bonehead - Modded M5
AJCut7 - Modded M6 Vert
LI-M5 - Modded M5
05 Venom - Stock E63
Friend of 05Venom - Stock 335i
Me - Stock E55 on DR's

I am waiting to hear back from 2 C5 vettes who were at the last rental, and have new interest from a mustang owner and E551921. I will confirm with Kevin at Atco that we can bring 13 cars (as opposed to being charged for 15), and then finalize the list.

Friggin' work and responsibilities...

This looks like a great event. Any possibility of another track rental going on this spring/summer? I really need to get to one of these.

And of course, I'll be at Englishtown on most Friday nights so I'll get my fill...but an Atco rental is

Mad props to you Lorenzo for pulling off these events

Not sure about another rental anytime soon. April is most likely full, and the warmer weather from May to September makes it not really worth the $200 per car, imo. Maybe in November.

Not that hard to do, really. Just fill out a form and collect money. Wish I could say that some special talents were involved.

I am all done trying to establish stock records. I am waiting for my DR's to arrive. I know of at least one E63 that will be there on DR's, too. That will cancel out any tire advantage.
