Weird, even weather.com doesn't have their own story straight.

Im in , I think we have a shot. Last feb there was a 60% chance of rain, it rained for 20 minutes , track was dry in 2 hours and we ran from 10-6. With the late runs producing record times due to a 10 degree drop in temp

It was definitely a pain but we had a ton of fun! Weather forecasters are almost alays wrong. I hope you guys have great weather and report back with some killer times!!!

Okay, looks like nobody wants to bail out...... I've confirmed with track management that we will attempt to race tomorrow against all odds. Thankfully, we have a group of true hard core racers over here

People on the waiting list, please check your PMs. Unfortunately, no one canceled, but if there is any last minute changes, I'll let you know.

To all participating members: please try to show up to the track as early as 7:30 to 8:00 a.m.. We will attempt to start racing as early as possible and I hopefully beat the rain. Looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow...... If you have any questions or would like to cancel, please PM me or call me. I'll be checking my PMs frequently throughout the night.

Let the fun begin

Talking Battle Of The CLSs....

I just couldn't help not posting this again. This was from Round 1 between the two CLS warriors: rarfinancial and juicee63 at Fontana last year. This is how the thread started by Rick:

Bring the kids, the wife, the girlfriends, Hell, bring the pets. This will be the show of a life time. The New Comer vs The One, The Only, The man that that shows No Fear,
" TTHHEE JJUUIICCEE MMAANN" Stay tuned for more BS after these messages Let the posts begin.

That was so cool, Jim is amazingly talented(JakPRO)

This will be round 4 and I will need some help , Rick likely is driving as I type, his trailored heavily modded Velaano show car vs. Orca, a fat near stock CLS with standard 2 piece 65 AMG rims............

what advantage do I have?

Rick is bringing six different ECU tunes, 3 sets of headers, an E55 super charger, nos, Paris hilton and likely his team of mechanics. Oh shoot I think Rick is also bringing a SECRET WEAPON that only he could create!!!!!

Apparantly SHE is lighter than him,

I will give it the ole college try, I will seek 11's I will seek to retain my crown as the fastest non nos CLS63 in the USA. Hopefully after Rick is done with me he will allow his buddy a shot with the C21's

Hope you all have great fun! Post your times when you get back. I am heading for Sacramento Raceway around 4am in the morning. (800 mile drive!). There is about a 40% chance of rain there too! So if I get there and it is closed, I am going to be so mad!! Well, if I hear early enough that they are cancelling in Sacramento, I will turn around and stop by Bakersfield to cheer you all on! If Sacramento is dry, and there is traction, 11's should be there for me.

Thanks
