Famoso Track Rental - Saturday 12/13/2008
I'd like to rent Famoso Raceway drag strip on Saturday 12/13/2008. The track is one of the best and fastest tracks in South California, and sits only at 650 ft elevation. Temps are expected to be between 45 F and 55 F all day, and DA should be around -1100 ft between 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., then it's expected to climb slowly to a high of +600 ft by 2:00 p.m. (but by then we'll probably have stopped racing).
Now the bad news: the track fees are a little high. They basically want $5k. So the more cars, the lower the price per car becomes.
I'd like to know how many people would be interested in participating, and hopefully we can make it happen. I'll start a list of the people who I know are in for sure. Please add your name to the list and update it if you're interested in joining us....
EDIT: Price has just been finalized to $258 / car unless we exceed 30 cars. Please PayPal payment to jsunner@hotmail.com before December 8th, 2008. With your payment, please also include your full name and the car you're bringing, as this list will be used for admission at the gate.
EDIT: Here is the track information:
Auto Club Famoso Raceway
33559 Famoso Rd.
McFarland CA. 93250
1) Juicee63 - CLS63 - VRP/Weight Saving Mods
2) MB_Forever - E63 - Stock
3) rarfinancial - CLS63 - RennTech/MHP
4) Shawn - E55 - Stage 3/4

Hey Blue_Monster, how is it going? How is the beast running these days? I still remember when you ran 11.70s on street tires and an exhaust leak in a high DA at Fontana 
You shocked a lot of people that day. At Famoso, your car will run low to mid 11s easy

Think I've asked this a few times before but I keep forgetting. If a few of us get lucky and even come close to MIR times that ran today, do we get the boot?
How **** are they?

Is there a chance of coming up that same and paying at the gate? As of now I have something scheduled but I'm hoping things work out and that day becomes available. I would love to make it down and finally put some faces to these names. This would be the first time running my car on a track and I couldn't think of a better way of doing it. I've been holding off due to not having my cooling mods installed but I should have it installed shortly. I hope this will be a option for people who can't fully commit. Either way I'm sure it'll be blast and I hope you guys tear it up.
