****Famoso Raceway Test-n-Tune May 14th****

Who's coming w/ Me? I'm hopeful that it won't be too crazy crowded and that we would be able to get at least 3-5 runs in. I think it's $20.

I've been having drag cravings ever since we rented the track last year.

This time I have a new car, new mods + Kiwi Data Logger

I want some before and after #'s as I'm going to install a set of headers sometime this year.

Let's do this!!!!

Mo,

You talking about Black SL 600 Shawn?

I was trying to be hopeful in regards to the crowd. I would definitely expect to get at least 3 runs in....then again if Engines start blowing up----we are all SOL.

Wait one more week and join us at Sacramento. Me and a couple of others will be in LA on Wednesday night and leaving Friday early morning back to Sac town. You would be more then welcomed to join us for the drive up.

hhhhhmmmmmm interesting!

Now that is a serious road trip for some track time. 800 miles roundtrip could be a bit much for me. I will still consider it.

Thanks for the invite

No, this is a different Shawn with an E55. I will try and get hold of him and see what time he'll be there. He's been talking about going to the May 14th test n tune for a while now.

I'm not sure what your schedule looks like but we plan on racing Friday at the standard scheduled TNT and bracket race on Saturday. It will be a blast and the more the merrier.

Bump!!!!!!!!!

I was talking to some of the DC Performance Drag experts and they don't expect it to be too crowded on Friday night T'n'T. They are trailering their 8 second Viper

If anyone is thinking about driving up from LA or OC, I'd be interested in a caravan.
