We had almost 50 cars at MIR and traffic wasn't an issue.

No 8-9s cars? Rarfinancial, guess you are out!

jrcart

+1, but we did have a 9 second Supra oil down the right lane.

blackbenzz

Yea thats true. He is a good friend of mine and this is the first time that has happened at the track for him. He actually blew his motor (was running 9.4x's @ 15xmph on stock bottom end!!!) **** happens.

jrcart

I know it happens, but with my experience at test & tunes and other events it more often than not seems to be the 8-9 sec cars like mustangs and firebirds that are oiling down the track or dumping trans fluid or water/coolant down the track. I know any of us can do it, like you said **** happens, but IMO if they open this up to more cars, they should be 11-14 second street cars, I just think it would be smarter.

I agree that the faster cars tend to break down more often. But they are also more fun to watch

You add in some sprinkles and the race day can be shortened down in a real hurry. It's perfect the way it is, that way lots of pairing can be done.

Brute SRT

Come on guy's, this man makes allot of sense. Listen to him.
What's another 10 cars? It will be more competitive, I promise.

chiromikey

i don't mind 10 more cars...

MB_Forever

Guys, for now we're keeping the event limit at 30 cars. I've talked to many of the people who have helped set this up initially, and they all wanted to stay at 25 cars let alone 30. Trust me, you'll appreciate that decision once you're at the track. Last time, we literally had no wait time what so ever at the staging line, and we were able to try so many different setups, and re-prep the track a few times without delay. But once a car breaks down, depending on the severity, we may have to wait 2 to 3 hours for the track to get re-prepped and any dangerous material removed. And even then, the track is usually not the same right after.

Anyways, this doesn't mean others won't be able to join us. There's almost always last minute cancellations. On our last event, we had 10 people who PAID, and 3 of them cancelled at the last minute for what ever reason (full money was refunded by the way). We ended up taking 3 people from the waiting list. Then one person that was on the waiting list cancelled, and we finally took the last person remaining. In the end, we were able to get almost everyone to join us.

In addition, it's sometimes extremely hard to get hold of the track owner (and I have his cell phone, home phone, work phones, work e-mail, personal e-mail, and even one close relative's cell phone). He can't get rid of me too easily

Sweet... What date are you going for?Willow that would be great.. My beast too loves the course. Let us know.. My carruns better on the course.. And I just got the GT BREMBOS

Mo
I for one say leave it at the initial/original plan we discussed. As we discussed, opening beyond the initial Private Track Day from 10 to 25 vehicles was to accomodate more cars, but the main goal was to keep down the cost. Then you added 5 more increasing it to 30 cars. As you and I discussed thats now 15 cars per lane. Now another 10 cars.... to 40 cars?!?!

In the coming week "trust me" you will have 10 more asking and another 10 after them and another 10 after them!

The whole point (as you and I discussed) was to get away from having a Fontana type day. If individuals didnt sign up in time on this forum, as the other forums we posted this event, well I say its unfortunate BUT ONLY FAIR they understand there is a line, and it starts below.

Rick, I will be at Willow in January 15th, Evosport put together the event, it's $395.00 if you register before Jan 2nd and $100 more after the 2nd. You will get to see what my junk was built to do now...that drag racing stuff is just filler, road racing is my passion.

rarfinancial

Jim, Where can I sign up? I would love to give it a shot if ther is still room..

James@ACG

Rick, I can forward you the email for you to sign up.

We should have that CLS63 Black Series ready by then...

LXCam

Hey guys, sorry for the hijack.......but it's too late, haha.

jrcart or who ever can answer this question. I was wondering something. What kind of times are you guys laying down at Willow on the big track. I've done more then a couple hundred laps there. With the combo I used to have, I had my lap times within a couple hundreths of each other consistantly. I've been wanting to go back with my new package, damn shame the 15th doesn't work in my schedule or I'd join ya.

I'm ready to pay when my turn comes around.

I never knew there were so many MBz that like to run the 1/4, How cool is that. I think the LXers might have their hands full at this event...

rarfinancial

Thanks Jim. I will sign up. Sounds like a fun day.. I can use some tips out there So Jan 15th big track at Willow then off to Famoso Jan 17th for drag racing... Then MIR in March...

Jon@BMS

I'll respect whatever Mo wants to do but if the choice were to allow 10-20 more cars and have each of us pay a proportionally less amount, I'm OK with that. 40-50 cars running both lanes should let us run as often as we want.

PS. I should be paid up!

sticky2

I would prefer to keep the event as it is.

I really enjoyed being able to do runs quickly and try out different setups last time. I would rather pay a bit more and have more runs with no waiting.

hotrod182

You are absolutely right. I hate it when those old hot rods, or ultra modified civics/etc keep breaking down! They should have days when it is just street legal cars as far as street exhaust, DRs, unleaded gas only, etc. Also I think anything less than 50 cars, and everyone is going to be running over a dozen runs no matter what. When I went to Sacramento the other week (same day as your last event) and ran my 11's at 117.52 mph in my 335i sedan (tune/gas/tires only), I think I made about 15 runs or so. Pretty much almost hot lapping. I think there was probably about 40-50 cars there total.

I traded that car in a day and a half later and got another new 335i sedan. I plan on going to Sacramento this weekend (weather permitting) in my other 335i (O8 coupe) and hope to hit 11's in it also. Preliminary testing has it doing a 12.2 @ 116.3 mph ET with my street Nittos, and 97 octane.

So this Saturday, Sacramento Raceway Park is having their test and tune from 12-4pm, It is only $50. It would be awesome to have some AMGs show up. I am willing to bet there won't hardly be anyone there because of the Xmas holiday weekend, and you can make 20+ runs if you want.
