The only thing i tampered with was the camber kit which should give you better traction, but after saturday, your beast eyes may only be visible through the tailpipes of a real beast!

Dave I see Nick is not backing down...so you better bring it! Take All unnecessary weight of your car so his All wheel Drive will be less effective and bring good Drag tires.

I hear white paint weighs less than silver, it might be time for a color change Dave.

I am sour/salty on this one! I did not get a "warning bell" to sh*t or get off the pot! I was talking with my dad about making the trip down with me this weekend from sunny Minnesota! I hope the weather holds up (the reason for my lack of commmit).

I didn't get word (or $$$) by today, so I assumed you weren't interested.

If you would like me to squeeze you in, paypal the funds and I'll have a packet at the gate for you. I'm not one to deny racing to anyone, much less an E55.

I just checked accuweather.com and it actually looks like you guys may be OK on Saturday. They are saying it may snow on Saturday night

I'm going to be in Vegas, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys, be sure to post everyones best times. I'll be monitoring it via lap top from Vegas.

I would be interested in seeing some ET's on Blizzaks...just kidding. You're right, they can't look out the window and tell you what the weather is doing right now, let alone 5 days from now.

I thought about trying a few passes on my Yokohamas snow tires but decided its not worth the $$$ wasting them like that...if by Thursday it looks good I will get my summer rims put on with my new Kumho ECSTA SPTs. If I decide to get a second car for the winter then I will try them in another drag event...

My blizzaks LM 22's rock in the snow. You guys with the sissy summer tires are going to be awe struck when I smack down a 3.1 second 60' time.

Well we'll see...those tires aren't exactly on a standard type of car though...so seeing a great 60' will be possible coming from your car...

A couple of my buddies run snow tires in the winter and every spring they do burnouts until they blow or there is no tread left, it's kind of funny to watch. It's they're right of passage into spring I guess. I don't run snow tires, that's what the Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited and ML are for.

You are THE MAN! I will let you know - every time I look at the forecast I see changes (per some other posts). If it looks like a go I will do everything I can to make it. Hopefully it stays dry and the temp gets to at least 45 degrees! OMG, it is Wednesday already...

I spoke with the track manager, and we will make the call tomorrow night about the weather. I'm keeping my fingers (and other parts) crossed that we'll get a break....


Which "rain date" works out better for you guys?

Sunday 27 April

Sunday 4 May

Saturday 10 May
