Bay Area Dragsters, when are we going?

Well it seems it's that time again as the weather is prefect and just can't seem to scratch the speed itch. When are we getting together? I know last time Sac track prep sucked but what about Infineon or maybe give Sac another go. Since the whole EE thing happened Adam was the only one who put the NorCal meets together. So anyone wanting to go, let's create a list with a date and time. Juice bring the AMG flag we will display it proudly!

Infineon and Sacrament

Hey guys me and some import friends are heading up to Infineon on the 21st of May to run. So if you want to come along let me know. Also I am heading up to Sacramento Raceway as well on the 31st of May for CMI. You can call me at (415)672-4117 if you guys want to meet up or something, we can probably meet at the track. Let me know.

Dominic

Whatever you guys do, do NOT go to Sacramento. The track is usually in bad shape and very ill-prepped. I was getting better traction and better times on the street than the couple of times I tried Sacramento Raceway.

It was a place called EuroElites, they used to tune cars but then they tried using a intercooler without the bypass hole like used in the CLK DTM and blew up an engine. Lawsuits followed blah blah and they are no longer in business. This happened around 2008ish. Ask Jakpro1 about it he still has one of those $5k intercooler that is now used for a paperweight. Thank god he never installed it
