Hey guys, are we going to get a list of confirmed people for the extended track time? So far I have me, Sneakyneon, Thericker, and infantry (are you down for an extended tack day?). I haven't heard from Mikesamg or Hammer Down yet, what's up!! I need to let the track know asap in order to confirm the rental. Tuesday will be the absolute deadline.

Actually, the extra 4 hours for the private rental are in the morning before the test-n-tune. The test-n-tune is from 6 to 10 while our private rental will likely start at 10 am.

If we get 10 people to commit, the cost will be an additional $100 per person for an extra 4 hours. I think it is a heck of a deal. The only reason they're even allowing us this is because they will be running a test-n-tune later that night. It's a win-win for everyone

No, there is no additional prep, just what they provide during the test-n-tune. However, with our drag setups, traction issues will be minimized. Street tires are definitely not recommended.

If we don't get enough people to commit for a private rental, then we'll just do the public test n tune in the evening and abandon the private rental.

The original TNT is scheduled from 6-10 on Friday evening. What we were trying to do is get a private rental before the TNT for a few hours. I was hoping to get the private rental from 1-5 which would be a total of $1000 split up by how ever many cars we have. Obviously if we only had 5 cars most wouldn't want to pay $200 for the additional time and at that point we cancel the idea of a private rental and just run the 6-10 TNT. I was just trying to get a little more race time for the people traveling several hundred miles.

Bring them as long as they don't dump oil on the track like some of the fools like to do, or leave their radiator cap off which almost put Alan and I into the wall. I will confirm that ESP does work! Scares the ***** out of you but it works!

What are they bringing?

I'm waiting for a phone call but it's starting to get late. Is there a chance you could take me tomorrow after work?

I'm thinking it might be a little crowded since they have an event the next day. People will be there trying to dial in their cars and all that good stuff. I would assume that you only want the evening TNT and plan on skipping the private rental since due to your friends. Not a big deal but we just need to know who's down so we could plan accordingly.

o yea, any tips? this is my first time in sacramento drag. esp on or off? i can do a brake launch and launch it very well in M mode too. i got that down. but esp on or off is my major thing?

My buddies drive...
2005~ mustang GT, nice exhaust
2006? infiniti g35 coupe, he can put his n20 set up in but i dunno if he wants to use it this time, he can't afford to blow anything. lol. but hes coming.
one has a early ws6 trans am or something, its really nice but i dunno if he can go yet, i think hes working.
