Sweet! I am in the process of pulling my friends RS6 motor right now. Talk about a pita to work on! Just a heads up, the turbos tend to go, trans and torque converter are weak if you plan on modding.

Airstrip open for Aircraft Landing?
Anyone know if the one of the two landingstrips will be open for aircraft to land? Thinking about flying in with a buddy to take a peek for a few hours if so on Saturday?

Who plans on going?
I am going to either fly in or drive in on Saturday. Anyone here going to run their cars? Looks like the 200mph list is devoid of a Merc..
I assume it should be easy to draw in Some Texas AMG peeps from Houston or San Antonio.
Anyone? Bueller??? Anyone??

I'll be there running my car, I just recieved confirmation that I can safely spray with my largest jets for up to 30 seconds, so that means I can spray the entire run, 200mph will not be easy, but not out of the question either, if on the bottle.

look at the updated list.. there's only two MBZ's signed up.. I am on the list and looks like Jim also..
JIM, THE SPEED CHANNEL AND SUPERCARS EXPOSED WILL BE THERE..
I need to pick out some tires
It's gonna be scary when I spray doing 160
Should I run with the 20" wheels? Any one else going?

Long ways off...but right now there is rain in the forcast for next weekend. Hopefully our WX forcaster is wrong as usual. Dan...Dead Wrong Dan!
I hope to fly in with a buddy of mine to watch for a few hours. The Goliad Airport is VFR only....but I guess if it were IFR conditions, the event would not happen anyway.
P.S. Thanks to JRCART for the contact info to ask if the aiport is closed to air traffic.I have left two messages and called several times, but I can't get a call back. There is no FAA notice that the strip is closed...so running with it!

Damn that would have been pretty cool to see. What did evosport even do to your car to charge you $7500?
