If anyone is interested I am going to hit up the test and tune this Tuesday night at Route 66. I was pumped to see what she could run with the new goodies. Tuesday is supposed to be a little cooler and running at night should help out as well.
What time are you going on Tuesday night maybe I can jump in with you and go I don't want to run car there yet...

Probably going to head out early, 3:30-4:00 to get through tech and try to beat the after work crowd. you would probably have to drive yourself, I have another guy driving in my car with me. Give me a call Monday or Tuesday.

The make-up rain date of Aug 30th looks good to me. Weather looks good tomorrow night for Route 66 test & tune. I will be there about 3:30, is anyone else planning on going there tomorrow?

Chicago boys....Weather is perfect today 75 and sunny with a 5mph breeze. I am heading up to Route 66 test & tune in a little while, I'm going to be leaving Naperville between 3:00-3:30. Tech and gates open at 4:00t. Anyone else planning on heading out? Let me know, if you see me feel free to say hi.

I'm gonna try to get this baby in the 11's tonight!

SLICKM's brother was at the Route 66 test & tune last night running his ML63, last I saw he was posting some low 13's, pretty impressive for a big, bone stock SUV.

Didn't we make it in an hour and 10 last time? Is this still on for the 30th?

It's gonna take me a bit longer I'm affraid, I'm gonna be trailering my car to this event. I can't fit the Mickey Thompsons in the trunk and the roll bar and nitrous tank takes up all the room in the back seat area. looks like it's gonna be a 2 hour trip for me.
