A reminder for everyone else, NO CASH required until you physically show up so sign up to get on the list if you plan on going....
I will be there at 11 am to let the car cool down.......I will be wearing my new rubber on the way so I can take care of the first heat cycle.
Psyched and ready to rock and roll.

I am in, I'm signing up tomorrow with a buddy of mine. He should present a challenge. He has a 1970 olds 442 that looks stock. It has a 600hp olds 455 and the car weighs about 3800lbs. He has run it once. He ran 11.70s, not dialed in. It is a fearsome street car, and Roland, he has the same goal you have... to get kicked off the track for running sub 11.5s without a cage. Good guy, you'll like him. Z

The way I see it. I will be kicked off the track with an 11.25 on the first run. I am feeling that Wednesday could be an absolute perfect tracking day and I will have brand new Drag Radials which will be heat cycled on the way there. With a prepped track and new rubber and 52 degree weather, RECORDS are being broken for the all motor..............I have three hours to get the car dialed in if it doesn't happen and the weather will get colder from 1pm to 4pm.
Everything will be filmed and well documented so there won't be any doubt about ET's. Everything is falling in place...........

Look forward to seeing that olds 442 scream down the track. Also looking forward to how slow my car is next to some of the fastest E55's around.
I might have a friend with an M3 head up so we can pick on him.

I signed up another guy with an e55, but he doesn't know it yet... Now I'll try to get him there. Just saving him a spot. He's stock, I'm stock, and we are within a few hundreths of each other. Z

Looks like light showers most of the day. Bummer.
Even in my Audi I'd be a bit hesitant on running. Hopefully the front will shift to the north.

Track Update
Just got off the phone and they will decide to either close or open the track in the morning, probably around 10am or so. They have there own radar system there so they can determine. Even if they close the track for the track rental , there may be a chance that STREET nights still might be a go that evening.
I already signed up myself, Zack, Lee and Wes for next Wednesday in the event we don't run tomorrow. If any of you can make it next wednesday, 10/29, i would sign up now before everyone from this week decides to go next week. Next week the TRACK CLOSES 10/31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Track Day
I will be calling in around 10am to find out if the track rental is closed. If so, we still have street night tonight that kicks off at 6pm.
