MVS,
Thank you for posting helpful information! What car are you running this year and what speed are you shooting for? I am a total daredevil but any guy that does the mile on his bike has my respect. I took my first bike lesson a couple of months ago and can't fathom going over 200.

Class: MPH Accuracy Class of some sort... depends on the car I take
M/C: It is alot harder than just cranking the throttle open and holding on.
IIRC, there was an Audi S8 that came out, but only ran 145+/- in the mile, you know they hooked up.... now if we could get a late model S65 out!
each year more " big guns " are showing up.. I am really excited that some MB's will come out!
LMK if I can help with anything.

From past experience:
Saturday will most likely be the busiest. On average, it took 2 hours between runs ( 1 car makes a run, gets back in line, 2 hours of waiting )
Sunday will be busy in the morning, but after lunch runs become quicker as people leave. Almost hot lapping towards the end of the day.
Friday is new this year, I would assume that it may be less crowded...but only an assumption, as this is the first year...

So what day is everyone doing BENZGAL BRING YOUR CAR You started this dammit.. It will be a blast..It doesn’t make sense to ship my car all the way to Texas to run under 200. I can do that in my own backyard.
My motto is GBOGH, and I have no intention of putting NOS on this car. I would rather make the trip to cheer all of you guys on and offer help to anyone that needs it. I would love to see you; Jim, Vinnie, and anyone else from this board go over 200! I will be insanely jealous but supportive. I was serious about getting a Ferrari, so once I get it modified with NOS I will join you at the mile.

We do have Upgraded Exhaust, Larger Intercoolers, upgraded ECU Mapping, etc...
We are also bringing his buddy's Lamborghini for fun too.
I am looking forward to all the eye candy coming down this year!

Does anyone know if they do nitrous refills at this event? I hope so, I'll only get about 2 runs out of each bottle.
