Atco Rental March 10 or 13

Hey, guys. Just heard back from the track. The week of the 10th is the only open week in March and April. I quickly checked my schedule, and either the 10th or the 13th work for me.

The cost has gone up, it will now be $200 per car.

Who is in? And I need serious "ins". Thanks.

I am a sit and wait. The overworked guys at euroelites burned out on the Sac rental.

I do not want to be committed and find out I need to pay 50% more than I committed to.


..... EDIT

Wait, how can Mo agree to this, it is 3000mi away. No way I can drive cross country to do 1/4mi

...........Edit 2.

OK. It's late. I am tire 2 with 3 glasses of wine in me sitting at home with the E63 safely in the garage. Mo said nothing of the sort.

I hope your brakes don't squeek during the burnouts.

Just a bit early, I think.

Besides Gixxer, you and me, I have heard from MachC5 (CLK63 Black Series), Multiowner, LI-M5, Sunny (Cylinder Head can't be too far behind), AJCut, Thrillos5 and Kelster.

I was over by your apartment the other day looking for the E92 M3, but instead I found your car. That thing is amazing bro. All the carbon fiber and the deep lipped rims, plus not to mention the killer exhaust. One time I was chillin' with Eurowerx (A) and we heard you coming from a mile away. I was in awe over your exhaust. You let it scream too when you went inside the parking garage . I'm so curious how your car will perform on the track. It's definitely one of the sickest M's out there.

I would make it to this event, but I don't know if my new car will be built by then and if I do have it, it definitely won't be broken in yet (plus I gotta get used to it and learn some launch techs). Have fun guys, I'll make sure I'm there for the next event

Thanks man. Set off 1 or 2 car alarms when I leave
I'm interested too. Wanted to make it out to Enzom's last outing at Atco in December, but that damn job.....

I already spoke to him, but tell Eurowerx to sign up for this. Wanna see how we match up. And I don't have his ***** to use the Central Ave dragstrip

Haha, I'll give him a call this week and let him know about the event. PS, we always have the other "Dragstrips" late at night (87, 287, sprain, 95, 684, etc) lol.

Of course I would! I'm not retarded, obviously I'll loose...but I'm always down for some fun

And BMWBonehead...I wake up just as early as you...but it is very hard for me too. That's why I try to limit it just to Thurs nights. But I completely understand man. Still, I'd love to see your car in action. That thing is hell on wheels.

Did you finalize the date? I need to move things around or cancel as the case may be depending on the day.

Sorry, guys. I have been out of the office. I have left a deposit for the 3/10 date. We are on.

Now - I may be unable to go based on work, but the track is ours.
