I can get two more SRT8 vehicles right now that are salivating to come up to Famoso. I'll pm you my phone number.

Ok guys lets get going two lanes would be AMAZING as we could go HEADS UP and everyone could witness the Vellano's fall off due to the downforce created from the car in the opposite lane. I truly hope you guys have front facing camera mounts so you can get some shots of the rear end of "Orca"

Sorry for the delay guys, I've been trying hard to get 10 more people, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen..... We actually need 11 more NOT 10 (sorry for the mix-up, my mistake in calculation).

Okay, so here is the situation:

- serge99m3 says he can come along with 4 cars guaranteed
- sgtstenko can bring one more person
- Warren (hotrod182) says he'll come if we can make it happen.
- James has one car

This gives us a total of only 7 cars...... we need 4 more by tonight to make this happen. We can have both lanes open, well-prepped, and full day of racing with full crew.

Please..... nobody send payment yet. Until we can get 4 more cars to commit, hold on to payment. I'll e-mail all the parties who are awaiting a decision.

Thanks,

Hi Chris, I've already got you on the list, and payment confirmed with sgtstanko. Looking forward to checking out your cool ride....

Thanks man..... we need all the help we can get. I'm working with track officials to extend deadline until tomorrow. Although it is too short of a notice, it may work. We'll just have to wait and see

Guys, I think it's safe to say this will not happen. I will rent Famoso again in January, and maybe next time we'll get people to sign up early so we can get 2 lanes.

I've had a thread on 6speed and M5boards for a while now and nothing happened, but I appreciate your help though . Hopefully, next time we'll get a better turn out.
