Who would be interested in renting Woodburn Dragstrip for a weekday? I'm working with Gene (The Track Director) to set up a Private Rental!

Track:
www.woodburndragstrip.com

Cost:
$1500 split across a maximum of 10 cars. If we have 10 cars committed (and they all show up) it's only $150/person!

Includes:
One fully-prepped lane, Timing, EMT and as many runs as you can! All NHRA rules apply.

Time:
10am-4pm

Date:
June 22nd, June 24th, June 29th, July 1st, July 6th or July 8th.

***Final date will be determined by the availability of members. A backup date will be chosen in case of rainout.***

Commiting:
If you are in, PM me or post at least three dates from above that you can commit to. No tire kickers. You are in or you are not. If you say you are in and you don't show up, you are going to cost each other member more $ out of pocket. Don't be that guy!

2. avengerboater, 2010 C63
3. Even Money, 2009 C63
4. rdl666, 2010 C63

I'll continue to widen the distribution of this announcement until we get a committed 10-cars.

Note: Oregon also has Tax-free shopping and there are some great Outlet Shops in Woodburn! Bring the Significant Other!

jikjak

is there any way to increase the maximum number of cars and to also have both lanes?

could u also inquire about the rules?
can we run low 11s and hopefully 10s without having a roll cage? (times under 11.49s)

superlubricity

Hey jikjak,

They can't go above 10-cars. That's the cap.

Yes on the two lanes, we just incur the extra costs of the track prep materials.

I'll ask about specific rules and get back to you.

jikjak

awesome, thanks for the info and please keep us updated.

superlubricity

Got the info from Gene:

• Prepping a second lane with VHT would cost the group an incremental $350 ($35/person).

• All NHRA rules apply so 11.49 or quicker is going to require a roll bar.

jikjak

damn that sucks.
it kind of rules a few of us out of the event.

i guess theres no way around the 11.49 rule since its a private rental huh?

superlubricity

You have plenty of time to get a roll-bar.

jikjak

lol i dont think that would look good in my car!

thats too bad though because we could have lots of fun that day. i wouldnt want to pay $150 and then get kicked out after one or two runs.

bassn_07

Yeah, that's too bad about the track reinforcing the 11.499 rule. Mikesamg and myself were talking about how fun it would be to run with a new group of people. If things change and pockets could be greased let me know.

jikjak

ya that would be sweet!
we would finally get to meet and do some runs.
nick said that this is a fast track as well!

superlubricity

They aren't going to budge on the rules. They are the only track in OR/WA that are willing to host a private rental so we're pretty much at the mercy of the NHRA.

You should check out some of the bolt-in roll bar solutions. You can remove/install them in about 15-minutes. Member Dads C63 just had one installed - https://mbworld.org/forums/4003992-post1.html

Any slower 55s or 63s interested?

jikjak

wow thats pretty cool!

i really wish we could go to this. there are around 5 of us interested in going if the roll bars arent required.

Note: Pushing the date out one week as two of us have conflicts June 15th and 17th.

July is looking like the most compatible time frame.

Added another C63 from Oregon!

Esh

Too bad I won't be around or I would totally be in.

Have you seen this?

Oregon Raceway Park

It's a little out there, but it looks like a ton of fun (or two tons in the case of our cars).

superlubricity

Due to a few conflicts we have pushed the date back again.

It has been officially set!

Monday, July 19th from 10:00am - 4:00pm

Esh

Super are you in Portland? I have yet to see a C63 around here.

superlubricity

Seattle . . . just up the street.

Esh

So you're up in Peter's neck of the woods. You should PM him and see if he'd like to bring his E63 or 997 down to the event.

superlubricity

Yup!

I PM'd him.
