Its scheduled for Nov 15

JAYCL600

we only race at fast tracks This event is to give the West Coast guys a chance to run at a proven track at a low elevation with cool weather, as well as get everyone together who may have not met each other.

I sure hope you guys show, I thought you out of all people would want to bring your own vehicle, you know to finally run some fast times

I will post an official sign up sheet, but it will get buried in the threads from now until Nov. I will start one and hopefully Vic will make it a sticky

Well,the saying "those who live in glass houses.." applys here...

East Coast Drivers>Jangy

Do I have to teach you how to do a proper burnout before November 15th??

blackbenzz

This is gonna be awesome! Finally east coast and west coast cars running in the same conditions. No excuses, heads up, ***** to the wall! I think we may see our first 10s no nitrous E55 passes! I better get out to the track before November 15th in cool weather to clain the quickest 55 title before chiromikey and jakpro1 come out here!

I'm showing up to break the E55 all motor pass record of 11.34. Between now and than, I will find another .015 seconds to break the record. Hopefully, I will have a Q LSD installed. Where is everyone staying?

Oops, he beat me to it!

The 11.34 record will surely fall

Wayne, I am most likely heading out for this event as well, I already have hotel rooms booked. We should make the trek east together. I assumme you have a hauler, if not I can try to locate a 2 car trailer to tow behind my Renegade Hauler. It's a Renegade Fun Mover so it has a 2000 pound power lift gate into an additional cargo area in which we can fit a golf cart or ATV tow vehicle as well a motor scooter pit vehicle as well. I can pay one of my truck drivers to drive it and we can drink watch satelite TV and play cards the entire trip . All this talk of East vs West, we need to represent the Midwest!

Did you forget someone.........

BTW, who might be that lovely lady in your signature??

Juicee, I'll go with you guys, but may not be able to take my car. I just got a couple of shipping quotes and looks like it may cost from $2.5k to $3k (one way)

jrcart

You guys need to all talk to each other and call several carriers to get rates, get a group, round trip rate. There is no way they should be quoting you much more than $2500 for a round trip, especially it you have several cars coming from the southern California area. It would beneifit you all greatly to all meet at one location so the truck has only one pick up location. A truck driver could waste an entire day and 1/4 tank of fuel driving between LA and OC for 3-4 pick ups, keep in mind diesel is just under $5.00 a gallon. Find out how many cars you think will be going from Socal. If you can not find a better rate let me know, I am in the trucking business and my company works with over 2 dozen of the largest trucking brokers in the nation, I will get you a better rate. If you could get at least 5-6 cars going that is going to be your best bet, you will get the "truck load" and round trip pricing. The freight company is guaranteed a return load and only 1-2 days of downtime and no risk of having to "dead-head" (empty trailer with no income attached to it) to another pick-up location.

Let me know if I can be of futher assistance.

blackbenzz

Sorry, those were the first two people that came to mind. You are also very close to the record. 0.13s away! Something tells me that record will be broken before November 15th so the bar will be set a little higher, or should I saw lower? A CLK may be moving to the top of the list once cool weather comes around

Just some chic lol

juicee63

I know man its gonna be silly when I bury the NOS times of the CLS 63 in a VRP 530 car. I definately am coming J.

I really appreciate you guys putting it together.

Team 63
Team WCAMG
Team 55
Team ECAMG
Team MB

Funny it could very well be a non AMG car gets crowned MIR's fastest

blackbenzz

Yea, if Stephen shows up with his S600!!!

juicee63

Gixxer mopping up the 55's is going to turn my frown upside down LOL

juicee63

Lets get Rick to pay

Fr33kn63

either way this is going to be one hell of an event. Just glad I only gotta drive 1 hour to MIR We need to get all of our rides there together to get a nice photo shoot of the rides that will be there!
I gotta start frequenting the track from now until then to practice!

juicee63

Man you are sooooooo lucky to be that close. Definately start hitting the track , you dont wanna fail on Nov 15th. Looks like we will have several sixty threes, hopefully one of em can join Oldgixxer and a sub 12 @ 119!!!!

05VENOM

Great..marked it on my calendar.

05VENOM

Well I certainly won't have the fastest car there but my goal is to break into the 11's. That would be worth the trip.
And to meet the rest of the forum guys.

jrcart

If this really goes down it's gonna be an awesome event. I thought someone was talking to AMG or M-B North America about sponsoring the event or putting up some prizes or cash, what ever happened with that? I'm coming either way, I just figured some prizes or cash would make it even more interesting.

How many classes are we gonna have, or is it just run what you brung?

JAYCL600

Its definitely going down, we have the track already reserved for Nov. 15th. This isnt an organized race with classes etc. Its a private track rental, run what you brung.

Fr33kn63

Yah I am hoping to be one of those to break into the 11's we shall see
I think my setup now will put be there, but might do one or 2 more things to ensure that. No NOS here. No plans of it either.
Yeah its nice to be close, but there are a couple other places to go too.
I think BB is talking about an event or two at MIR before Nov15 for some of us local MBers to get more time in their. Downside is the DA here for about a month more is really high...2500+ so a lot of us will be a lot faster come Nov.
might have to plan a day in october when the temps should be a little closer for practice too.
BB and I are gonna hit up capital raceway this next friday for their test and tune. Hopefully not too crowded

Fr33kn63

Jay we need to make sure we have both lanes this time...unlike the last debacle...
