The weather looks like it should be good for you guys, last time I checked around noon today they were calling for 44 degrees and partly sunny. Should be a lot of records broken. I might make a last minute decision to drive one of my other cars out theren, racing is racing.

It changes every few hours. As of right now it's not looking promising but they have changed the forecast 4 times since sunday! I may go ahead and reserve the day after (monday) as a rain date just in case.

That would be a great idea (Monday= rain date).

Ahmad, were you able to secure monday as a backup. I know you said earlier you were gonna call. Any luck?

Also your CLK sounds INSANE!!!

Everyone, I heard his exhaust today when I met up with him and DAMN!!! Crazy loud. If I wasnt looking at an MB right in front of me, I would have thought it was the nastiest, meanest sounding muscle car I have ever heard!!!

Yes we have monday as a back uo/rain date. I hope we dont have to use it.

Thanks, it is wayyyy too loud for me. My friends say it rattles their interior panels when I'm cruising next to them lol. Will try to put resonators in before MIR so I dont make everyone go deaf. I should prolly take a vid of it before I do that though




RAIN DATE IS THE FOLLOWING DAY AKA MONDAY MARCH 2nd

I believe it. Standing next to it made my whole body vibrate!

Glad to hear we have a scheduled rain delay day.

Ahmad, you can't catch a break on the weather to save your life. Maybe I will be making it to MIR afterall, keep me posted on rain dates.

Ahmad, if you end up having to set a new date and I can make it out I say we put our past behind us and line up head to head, run what you brung, no stalling, no mix ups at the line, no cheating, no BS, no excuses. We set a time, we stop everyone from making passes, we have them sweep the track and we draw our lane from a hat and may the best car win!

My take as a long distance attendee is, I'd rather see the event rescheduled than making the long drive for marginal or poor weather.

There are a couple in DC (Good Guys and Camelot). Baltimore has a bunch spread around the city.

If it is a last minute call on the track....it may not be enough time to stock up on enough Red Bull...

That would be awesome! Wish I had my TB situation worked out. Do you think I need a retune for just an exhaust? As of now it looks like rain.




Forecasting weather even as little as a week in advance is near impossible. They were calling for great weather this sunday just a week ago!

What I can do is get a small single lane rental for those of you that want to do it on wednesday or maybe just move the whole event to next friday (march 6)/monday (march 9). The more input I get the better I can gauge interest because the bottom line is we need cars to make a track day. Friday looks like its gonna be nice and warm but not great racing weather. Monday looks to be great racing weather but running a chance of a shower since they predict it will rain sunday. Opinions? We need 25 cars for 2 lane weekday rental and just 10 for single lane

I can do whatever day you want. Just keep me posted. I am almost inclined to say postpone it to til the 9th. maybe the extra week or so would be enough for it to warm up a bit Anything you work out should be fine with me.
