Um, you can count me in for an SL350.......

I would love to join you guys again, but I have a wedding to attend that evening. I'm sure the cooler fall air is going to help you guys break some personal records. Have fun and good luck!

If I did'nt know any better I would say that sounds like a challenge. I'm always up for a challenge. Let me see what I can do, the wedding up all the way up in Highland Park, so I would only have time for a few passes.

The only other concern I have is that the car is in pieces right now getting more goodies added, there are no seats in the car, I am waiting for my CF DTM seats to arrive from Itally and they have not even shipped yet.

As fast as your car is! Highland Park should be 30min no more! U got seatbelts? That's all we'll need! Who needs seats? BTW-that should make U even lighter, so I want lengths!

The seats are only part of it, CF drive shaft, CF battery and ti bolts anyplace I could put one to replace the factory steel ones...you would be suprised to see how fast the weight adds up with little bolts and screws. To date I have cut 227 pounds off the car car (including seats). That on top of the additional performance the drive shaft is going to offer as well as the updated ECU/TCU tune and the new crank pulley I gather I am going to gain a couple 10ths improvment over my previous best e/t.

How many lengths do you need? I would rather we go on a staggered tree, what do you need 2/10th's? My previous best on motor only was 11.487, I think 2/10ths on a tree should make it a race, don't you?

P.S. I might have the new heads and cams installed in time for MIR, are you attending the MIR event?

Doubt I'll make MIR. I was joking on the lengths, just want to come out and have some legal fun for a change! I haven't had much experience from the tree, so I try and get out as much as possible to practice. I'm great however, on I294, I80, I90 and the TOLLROAD OMG!

Jimmy, weddings are normally at NIGHT!!!! (or at least the reception is??). Come on man, I wanna see another 720 roundy round burn-out ). You can be out and about by at least 2:00, home by 3:00 and out the door to fun by 4 or 5:00. No excuses

Arrow Caravan to the track

Ok, by request, I will be setting up a rendevous for all who want to follow down to the track. Meeting at Streets of Woodfield at 7:45 am, we will roll at 8 sharp. We will head down 355 to I80, and then east. I prefer to take I65 like last time I led down, just because it isn't stop and go like taking US41 all the way down from 80, but I am open to preferences and will weigh all input.

Nick
