Who is bringing the flag?

I'll be surrendering the flag to Mo, most likely by mail. I don't think I'll be making the Dec 4th due to previous commitments.....like my 10th year wedding anniversary.

I'll be giving it back to you guys since it's been up in Norcal for way too long. There's basically no chance of anyone coming up to Sac to take it, which leaves me only one choice....give it back . Just kidding guys.

Have fun and good luck.

You gotta make it bro.... we can't have an event like this without the quickest/fastest E55 on the planet. We'll even make you an anniversary party at the track I can see it now..... it'll be at night with a bunch of lights... a 10-level cake with a bride and groom on the top level, and between them a 10-second E55

I'm sorry to bring you guys bad news.... I just got confirmation from the track that all of their sources confirm rain this weekend on both days Saturday and Sunday. And although the rain will be intermittent, it makes no sense for us to go out there and take a risk. So the event is now officially moved to Saturday, December 4th.

If you can't make it, please PM me. We will re-open the sign-up sheet again until November 27th.

The good news is that in December, Famoso literally sees the BEST DA OF THE YEAR. Hope to see you guys there

Cool.....by then my Ford 9" with 4:11 gears!....and...

Hey guys, remember Budoboy with the red charger from the Sacramento event last year. Well, I just read that he had his car trailered to Atco to run 11-18 through 11-20 and finally broke into the 10's. He ran a 10.84 @ 124!!! His best time at Sac was 11.15 @ 123, hopefully he'll chime in. It looks as though he had to go back east to finally get his beast into the 10's. Great run Jeff!

Sorry for going off topic but I thought I would share this info since he ran with us at Sac.

There is no problem that Diamonds and Shopping money cannot overcome. Since this is only a one week delay in Anniversary Celebration, I think you are still in the 2-4 Carat range, with a $2K cash side

The other options are (or used in combination with):

Moping around
Crying
Temper Tantrum
Quit doing "Honey Do" list items

If none of these work, get a lot of Viagra (you will see why in a minute)


Go to town on her beginning Thursday morning, and DO NOT STOP until Friday night. She will beg you to go to Famoso just to get a break

Mo, for those of use that have never been, what is the protocol for "Stuff"? Is it cool to leave spare wheels, floor mats, cooler etc laying around while we run. I expect that since this is a private event, things are probably safe, but just want to be prepared. Can't wait!!

The parking lot is huge and there's only about 30 guys racing, so usually every participant will take a big parking spot in the parking lot and spread his/her stuff around the car. It is kind of unspoken etiquette to not park too close to someone in order to give them enough space to put their tools, wheels, food, cooler, equipment, etc....

Regarding theft, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on your items if you can - especially that there maybe a good number of spectators coming this year. When you're not there, ask the person next to you to do so if he can. In general, we all look out for each other's stuff regardless of the situation. We have an amazing group of participants coming and they've all done this before and understand the situation, so I doubt we'll have any problems. In fact, we have not had one single problem with theft or loss of items ever since we started doing this.

The only warning I can give you is that once you attend this private rental one time, you'll literally get addicted to it and will want to come every time. Don't take my word for it, ask around.... some of the participants have attended every single private event we organized

Weather is going to be fine. If anything, there may be a front coming late Sunday, but we will be long gone by then The low they are tracking is coming much slower than originally expected, so I think by Wednesday this week, you will see even Sunday is clear.

It is going to be cool and FAST!
