Wow, is it getting cold during the day here in New England and do you know what that means. Ya baby!!!, it's time for a SERIOUS tracking event to take advantage of the cold weather. Daytime highs are already sinking to almost 60degrees. By October 22, daytime HIGH could be 45-55 degrees. We should definitely have MAJOR negative Density Altitude.

I just called the track and this is the deal:

$105 and we get to run from 1-4pm. The track is extremely well prepped. Only 40 cars are allowed to run. Right now, only 3 cars are signed up for Oct. 22nd. All i have to do is get a list of names, contact numbers. No cash actually exchanges until we actually go through the gate on Oct. 22nd.


I choose Oct. 22nd, in the event we get a rain out, we have the very last Wednesday, the 29th to reschedule. So we got two chances to track and take advantage of the best tracking conditions offered to track enthusiasts.

I hope you guys take advantage of this opportunity like I will. As you know, time is running out in the 2008 season to achieve personal bests and E55 and E63 records.

Let me know by responding to this thread if you are interested. Many of you have already mentioned your interest so I hope you come through....

Sorry if I missed anyone, but it is not that far of a drive to experience great DA and track conditions. Here is the link to the track if you would like to research. http://www.newenglanddragway.com/html/home.php

Peace out...........

Count me in for the 22nd. What is the minimum amount of cars we need in order to be able to get the track that day?

NitrogenBalance

I can't wait. I've been waiting so long for this, man o man. signed up and ready to roll!

For anyone else thats interested I'm going to head up this comming wednesday and probably a few other dates before the 22nd. Anyone interested in meeting up let me know. I'm green when it comes to the track. Lastly, what days are best for street night? Wednesday or Friday?

Blownbenz

Is this definatley on or not? I hope it still is.

higginsbeach

Brotha, YOU BET IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will get a list of names together and call the track and reserve names. There is no minimum. If 7 drivers show up to track, well we are going to have one hell of day.

Wes, I may go Wednesday if the conditions are right. I will keep my eye on the weather. Friday night is much worse than Wednesday because they don't treat the track on Friday like they do on Wednesday's.

Zach, Dan, Jay, where are you, you guys in???

I've got a deposition that day in Buffalo that I am trying to adjourn. If I can put if off, I'm there. Otherwise, it'll have to be another day for me. I should know in the next week or so.

Hey I am definately interested but I just need to check with the boss! We just talked about this 2 days ago and she said I could go to NEDW but she didn't want me to race! I use to run my Vette there years ago but she said I was a dad now and things are different. I will work on her don't worry. Deep down she knows I would race but doesn't want to hear it I guess. Any suggestions from the other married guys out there? Also is this MB only? I have a friend who has a Camaro SS who may want to come and play.

Trying to arrange my schedule, will try to be there. These Test and tunes are much better than street night. Just a heads up, though... when I did it, they only let you run one at a time, no heads up racing. Still fun, much better track prep. Z

Blownbenz

Awesome,
How do I sign up and do we pay when we get there?
Will the track be all ours that day? Cant wait guys lets make this happen

Zax63

The track is not all ours, but it might as well be... what they do is a "test and tune" session where they allocate a max of 30 reservations during the day. The only time I went, there were 12 people signed up. 10 dudes in real drag cars who were really testing and tuning, with an hour or so between runs to repack parachutes, etc. 1 guy on a motorcycle, and some DB in a suit and his E63. (oh yeah, that was me.) Anyway, after running 8 laps in my car, I stopped to let it cool down for a minute. A couple of the drag car drivers came walking over to ask what I had done to my car to get it to be so fast. They were incredulous that it came from the factory like that.

The one downside is when I was there, they did not allow heads up racing, and since I was on street tires they only let me run the left lane, which either was not VHT prepped or much less so. When I asked them why, they did not want me messing up the right lane with my street tires for the "real racers". I will call, but I imagine that drag radials will get you into the right lane.

I have a feeling wednesday might be wet. I'm really hoping and praying that the sun will shine. I have the day off and everything. If wednesday is clear count me in if anyone wants be meet up.

Blownbenz

Can we get this thread to be a sticky and lets get a list of definate people that are in.

AMG140.6

I'm in....but can I bring my S4 instead of my AMG ? I don't think I'll have possesion of my new one by the 22nd.

NitrogenBalance

Of course. Looks like that trip to the track we spoke about is going to happen. Not today though, really getting sick of this rain....
