Ok so we got snowed out for this weekends rental and MIR is pretty much booked every friday from now until April 2nd so the new date is set for Friday April 2nd. I have reserved both lanes for us, hopefully the weather cooperates and it isn't too warm. It will be the usual $100/car. Lets get the racing started fellas

I would love to visit the East Coast during this time of year to showcase the final culmination of my project if successful. So count me in for now but deposit will be in when the car is tested and tuned and meets expectations at Famoso or Sac.

That would be cool. Is the car running now? No deposit needed. Just show up with $100 cash. Good luck

Car is running awesome. 70mm pulley is only putting out 6.17psi but generating 426rwhp on a hot day here. Most important thing is the drivability which is like a stock car when idling but tap the pedal and the car moves.

In a few days, a tuner will start stage 2 which includes a larger crank, smaller sc pulley combo, larger injectors, programmable MAF, etc..

That would be nice but they don't open until April 2nd. So unless you wanna check out the farm land before then I wouldn't go http://www.75-80dragway.com/Schedule.html

Capitol and MIR are open though. They opened up this past weekend

Still no updates. Guess that 1.5yr build is taking even longer.

I haven't been to one of these in years.. What time does the rental run from - till? I would love to come. Probably would leave the C32 at home. I just finished building my Lightning so I want to run it a few times if you guy's don't mind the non-merc there.

Do we need to prepay or at the gates? Looking forward to hearing the details.

9am til 5pm. You are welcome to join us. That is cool, we have a nice collection of cars at these rentals.

No prepay. Come find me to pay the $100. Cash only. I collect all the money and then give it to MIR. That way they have someone to hold accountable if money comes up short

I was going to bring the M3, but the e55 has a new tune and we want to see how it performs.

Damn, o well! I would love to see the M3 at somepoint. But i guess a E55 isnt a bad car for you to run at the track either

BTW, here is my car at 20psi on pretty much a break in file running Pun1shers E55. He hit it right as I was starting to build boost.
