Nick, I can't wait for this one! How many of you guys would be interested in a private rental? I'm thinking from 10-5 on Friday before the TNT and continue racing the 6-10 session.... Who ever is interested I might bring up my RV and camp out overnight - BBQ, beers, cigars, or whatever.

Saturday will be all about bracket racing. This will be my first time and I just need to figure out a way to run slower consistently.

I got my secret weapon to ensure a win, pretty much the flag is staying in the bay area, that's just a fact!

That statement is very true (I know from personal experience and hours and hours of wait at open test n tune events all over california), but for Sacramento, a normal test n tune does not exceed 50 cars. And even sweeter, most of the time, the number of participants average somewhere between 30 and 40 cars only ..... bad for the track, good for us

Of course, if you guys would like to race in the morning, then we would definitely need to organize a private rental.

It's because a lot of people out here that race have ricers and they go to the grudge nights to show off. It's been Alan, Jack's, and my secret for a while, you get plenty of runs in for the time as opposed to only two runs in on a grudge night for $15. Plus there's a lot of dragsters or wannabe ones there laying down plenty of rubber for us to run on

Lets just not let it out on any other forum so we don't have what happened last time unless we get the lane shut down for just us!

He's right you could get 4 runs in, in about 15 at times I usually only runs 4 runs period and I try to make all 4 runs count. ; )

Why did you sell your car, it was such a monster on the track? I remember when you broke a bolt during your burn-out

too many cars

I had too many cars. I sold it to a very good friend of mine that actually works at my company. As a result, I get to see it everyday!

Btw I'm totally in for a private track day.

Hey Jim guess what his dialog hasn't changed a bit because that's exactly what he said to a few weeks ago.

Update:

I spoke with the owner today and he's willing to extend the track hours. Due to curfew they won't allow us to go pass 10pm but starting earlier is not a problem. They will only charge $250 for each additional hour and the cost will be split amongst all participants. If we do four hours with ten cars the cost will only be an additional $100 plus the $50 cost if we continue with the evening TNT. I need to know how many people are willing and able.

Here's a list of people whom I believe to be in. Please remove your name if you can't join us.

1. bassn_07
2. Mikesamg
3. Hammer Down
4. Thericker
5. SLK55R (aka 2010 911 turbo....)
6. Juicee63 ???
7. Sneakyneon
8. Jackpro (come on Jim, I'm dying to meet the legend himself)

Will there be any Hyevon boys joining us this time around? I look forward to running with you guys since I missed ya at Famoso.

Glad to hear! Will you be running your beast? It would be great to get some 63's out there besides Mo and Juicee.

On another note guys, how many of you would like to extend the TNT? I need to know by end of next week to confirm with the owner. If a deposit is needed everyone will be contributing.

I think he's out Neon, I'm pretty sure I saw a thread where he was in SoCal waiting to get out and come back up to Modesto in a couple months. Being ex military it caught my attention but Bassn and I are always looking for local AMG's to run with.

If you're in Modesto Infantry roll up with us when we go. Or are you bringing the ******* wagon Alan? Oh I get my wheels tomorrow so I'll have a full CCW set up at the track like you, only I really need to get the rears painted to match.

When and where do you plan on getting the wheels painted? We should do it ourselves the weekend after Mothers Day.

I'm doing it myself along with the grill, I need more DIY projects to be more self sufficient. I just need to figure if I want a psychedelic spiral in it haha!

Can't wait to see the rims on the car! Did you want to hit Sac up Friday night to check it out and talk with the workers?
