Normally Famoso is down in December and January for maintenance and repairs, but looks like we're in luck They'll be back up before our rental date. I just confirmed the date with track owner himself. By the way, Famoso will be booked from March to October, so we actually have one more try in February if we wanted to

Okay guys, so here we go........ we are confirmed to have the track on January 17th, 2009. Payment information will follow in the next couple of days, so please don't send payment yet. Looks like we have 18 people on the list already. Let the fun begin.....

i checked your weather station about 5 minutes after my run. those corrections make me even more disappointed i couldn't make mir!

i hope i can make this and if i do i'll have my fingers crossed for zero or even slightly negative da!!!

 

IT IS ON MAN...
SIGN UP FAST...
SPACE WILL RUN OUT

 

I checked last year's weather at Famoso on the same date and it was -250 DA, now you going to change your plans to include northern california. I wish there was a bracket race on Sunday and I would stay and make some money back.

Juicee I'm going on a diet too, maybe wearing one of those Micheal Phelps swimsuits would do the trick to get you and me in the 11's

 

Wow man if you come it would be such an incredible challenge to beat you in the West Coast Extreme bracket race. Guys if Evan comes and you can beat his crossfire down the track on a timed tree , I for one will be suprised

The DA at Famoso last year was -1100 ft at 8:00 a.m. and -430 ft by 2:00 p.m. It was also the same scenario the year after that. Hopefully things won't change much

 

MIKEY YOU GOTTA COME !!! I know first hand yer 55 should be in the top 5 as you launch so consistantly , the air at Famoso and potential tail wind hehe gives you a shot at the 11.05 record.

 

How many spots do you guys have available? I am pretty sure I'm going to be out there, but not sure if I'm going to be in any shape to race that morning. Where is the track? I'm goign to be in LA, Hollywood, how long of a drive?

 

about an hour and a half from north hollywood, the track is roughly 15 minutes or so from bakersfield.

 

Is anyone trailering there car or bringing a chase vehicle? I'm having my car shipped to Vegas and then driving it to LA, I will not have my hauler or any way to carry my spare tires. If I have them Fed Ex'ed out to my hotel in LA can somebody haul them to the track for me? I can't fit squat in my car because of the roll cage and the rear strut tower brace elimintes about 25% of my trunk space. I will also need 120 octane fuel, any shops in the area where I can get that?

 

Awesome Jim, please join us man........ this will be fun

Like James said, the track is only 1.5 hours North of Hollywood.

 

Famoso is the best track with the best prep and best staff I have ever been to, period.

It was amazing just how nice and how hard the staff tried for everyone.

 

I'm trailering in from AZ. you can send them to me if you like. I'm not sure yet where I'll be staying in CA. PM me closer to the event and we can work it out.

I'll bring jacks and impacts to do the change at the track.

 

Wow!!!! in less than 24 hours, we got almost 20 members. For our last rental, it took a month to get 10

Only 11 spots remaining guys (3 of which are in the works to be taken already), this will be one memorable event.....

 

ok...i'm going to try to move some things around and make this. i've also talked another modified e55 into coming along so you can add myself and benzgal to the list.

btw evan, if i break something i'm hijacking your trailer for the trip home!!!

 

You got Benzgal to come out? nice!

 

Is it okay to come out and watch this looks fun?

 

We'll hook you up a tow strap to the back

 

Yes it is ok to come out, there are stands and a huge parking lot , bring a VIDEO camera as none of the guys seem to remember to take pics and post vids etc.

It would be great to have a White CLS supporting the other colors, is black a color? hell yeah , comon out

 

hey jrcart, if u need help hauling wheels let me know. I know we hate each other, lol. But ill be hauling some stuff up there any way.......let me know.

 

well maybe i could at least talk you into hauling my wheels.

 

Jim have them shipped to my Lot in S.D I will trailer them up for you. We would all love to see your monster stomp at the track here in cali.

 

Hey Josh speaking of pix, My crew shot a few, I made a few passes learning the NOS setup and on one of the passes the ticket girl said the printer was jammed and to go to the booth if I wanted my ticket, I said " no thanks, I'm making a lot of passes today, I'll get the next one" Well there was no one there but me and the camera Taker (If you remember I was hot lapping) Here is the punch line, take a look at the time clock and tell me what you see:

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE
Here's a closer look
