Nice to meet you at the track yesterday Al! Too bad we couldn't run. There were lots of folks who drove several hours there only to be told to go home.
Anyways I'm interested in the private track rental you mentioned. I don't know about 12/19 though as I think my kid's b-day party is that day and my wife would kill me if I was gone.
I'm all about traction so if I can make it I wouldn't mind chipping in some more $$$ for better track prep as Sacramento is marginal already and the weather won't help. I think 10am to 8PM is the best bet. Too early and it might be foggy and damp and the same thing could happen late at night.

. I'm thinking the 19th won't work for me either because I have other plans on that weekend. I'm glad you're willing to help chip in $$$ for extra track prep
. I think everyone should consider this because like you mentioned track prep is already marginal on TnT. I'm also looking to see you N/A dip into the 10's, this would make you the 2nd one....right? Hopefully you achieve your results during the partial rental.

Got me good man .. I finally got the rwhp I wanted so I can play with you. Now I just need to figure out how to keep it on the ground.. Mo say the tq curve and he thinks it way to much to soon.. He may be right. I was running just under 17 psi in the rear tires and was still having a problem 
tires looked flat and not safe. But I'll get it down 
Great job man..

Alan,
alright bro Im gonna have the December 5th & 19th open for track days. The 5th is gonna be kinda tough to make it up to Sacramento but I believe I can move some things around. Which day will be better?
At this point, private event or not I will come up.

Oh Yeahhhhh.....this will be awesome! Once again Sal I look forward to the race, win or lose. Hopefully we could try different things and maybe even tire swap to see what works the best. Let me know.

Let's do it this weekend because the 12TH is the targeted day for the event and you're not available. On the 19th I have other plans I'm trying to commit to and it seems the 5Th will work for both of us.

My luck you were going to have the event the day I have this Christmas party. I will try to move my prior commitment, which I completely forgot BTW, to the 19th so I may free up the 12th for the track event. If not then it looks like it will have to be the 5th.

How busy do things look for you on the 5th? DA will be very good and the track shouldn't be very crowded at all....the suspense is killing me. I will not post any results regardless of the outcome, I'll leave that up to you. My last runs were posted by me and I no longer wish to share my times. I'm sure you could understand that.
edit: We should have clear skies with temp around 55-57 degrees with low humidity and good quality air. I would guess DA to be around -500-700 if the weather stays the same. We will be quicker and faster regardless of tracks.

Wait until we hear something on the track day before rearranging your plans. Mo will hear something more definite on Monday...I hope.

Hammer will be there for sure, I know it. The unusuals will come and have fun but whoever else decides to show would be welcomed. I think Juicee will be here but we'll see and Mo should come because I know he doesn't want to miss this, plus he could talk to Dave Jr. about the 12TH.

I don't need any videos of this run but if Sal would like them I have no problems with it.

Congratulations on the upcoming birthday! If you could make it that would be awesome but if not there willl be the 12TH and with much more cars. The DA will be record breaking weather on the 5th and I'm sure you'll dip into the 10's if you did decide to come.
