Should I add your name to that list? I'm hoping you decide to run your gorgeous E500.

Is Enrique really coming Alan? That would be awesome I hope he does. I need to get out to Thunderhill or Buttonwillow with him and learn how to drift the hell out of my beast!

Jerry if it's crowded hopefully we will get lucky and run them off. Did anyone notice this last weekend at Fontana that a lot left early? Even the C55 and C32 I think they got tired of us dominating the track! I'll just have to bring some Tri-tip to BBQ if I have to wait!

No, I don't work. I stand on the corner with my Air Jordans, designer jeans, and $1200 bike asking for handouts....

It's very easy for me to get a day off here and there. I'm often working well past my normal working hours on a daily basis and in return I'll take days off with pay. I have no problem or feeling of guilt taking time off to enjoy some of the finer things in life...like racing my Benz.

Okay Jerry, quit stalling. Are you coming or what?

Hey Rick,

Maybe you should leave your car as is and see what the correction factor is when you come to Sacramento. If you end up changing anything none of the questions above will answered. I would love to see you trap 127+ but with your current setup. It's just my opinion and I'm sure you'll do what you believe is best for you. Good luck and I can't wait for our next meeting.

I called about a private rental today and they haven't done one yet but they've been throwing around the idea. The lady I spoke with mentioned that October would be our best chance of having a private rental due to some event they have scheduled. We also spoke about track prep and she did note that "we know how to prep our tracks unlike SR" ! She did mention that moisture is our biggest enemy .

Yea ricers suck they are boring to run against except when you are hot lapping and want to **** them off to run them off the course haha. We should go check it out Alan. Still Sac lets you slide on things that's the biggest thing it has going for it especially since you already went below NHRA times.

Put your name on that list and make it on out. The more people that show the better this event will be. It's always nice to finally put these names to some faces and talk MB. Remember, if you decide you don't want to run both sessions it will only be $50 for either one. I'll be doing both just so I could get some practice in.

All right guys let start adding some names to this damn list!!!! MikesAMG is at Sacramento right now with conditions almost 40 degree cooler than Fontana . The only thing I'll say is that he picked up 5 1/2 mph on his traps . DA is will be close to +300 before the night is over...damn! I wish he would have invited me , some friend. He hit a new personal best and I'm sure he'll be posting up later tonight. Hopefully he could lower his 60' times and post something extraordinary. Good luck buddy, I forgive you for not inviting me..haha j/k.

I'm going to add TheRicer (haha) to the list and hope he'll give into pure pressure. Come on Sean after posting those dyno numbers it's time to hit the track. I'll have the RV out there so you could still have your small 6 meals . The kitchen will be yours!!!

Jack (Hammer Down), are you up for a drag day meet? I've talked to you several times but never had the pleasure of meeting you face to face yet, hope you could make it.

Jerry, WTH...I thought for sure you would be on this list by now .

How about you C32 guys? After all that modding you guys don't want to hit the track?

Josh, I'm just going to remove that (weather and wife permitting) stuff and just confirm you 100%. Make sure you bring Bill along, he needs some cheering up.

3. juicee63(weather and wife permitting)
4. Modified 996TT
5. Thericker (come on buddy, let do it)

I am not even getting into why I was alone in perfect conditions. I got there at 730 and it was 76 degrees and at 945 it was 62! There was maybe 12 cars there and we all just kept lining up using the right lane back to back. Although my second run they lined me up with a Camaro and I spanked him like a naughty step child. He pulled up asking what I had and said I must have at least 500hp. I kindly replied it has enough but not much!
