We are in debate right now on what car to bring. I'd like to bring my car, but I'm just not sure it will be ready by then. So our fall back plan might be to bring the Dyno-Comp unlimited class Subaru STI. If that car comes, It will sure be a sight to see bombing down the drag strip.

what time do the lanes open/close? anyplace close i can get 100 octane?

What is the ball park cost of a tune at the track? My last OE tune was right around $1000.. I am wondering if at the track there is some sort of "Bulk Discount". I know there will be a number of tuners at Famoso, and I will have my dataloging in place by this time.

I will confirm and release the list of tuners 2 weeks before the event.

Tech is not too strict since it is a 100% private event. However, they are more strict with people they do not know. You have a PM
Not sure on the cost of tunes, as that will be completely up to the tuner. I can try to work out a group discount for you guys if a few people are interested. I can tell you this though: there will be many tuners at Famoso and they WILL indeed be tuning cars LIVE at the track based on track-collected data and real-world conditions

We won't know exact start/end time until a few days before the event because we choose the best time based on weather conditions.
There are a couple of gas stations on your way down here that sell 100 octane gas, but it would probably be better for you to pick up a 5-gallon MS109 from VP and open it fresh at the track
Did you get my PM ?

All kidding aside, just make sure YOU DO NOT SPEED IN THE PITS!!!
They were literally minutes away from giving us the boot (speeders) for goosing it in the pits last time. Real loose tech and super nice, but must be an insurance thing on that pit speeding.
You'll see what I mean when you get there. In a private event, the parking lot/pit area is WIDE open and a perfect spot to practice launches etc, but they blew a fuse on us.
Can't wait for pics of that 458 Italia! My current dream car.

Either way, I'd love to see one running out there in good weather. I think whoever runs his W212 first will get the record right away regardless of what times they actually run since there seems to be no one else running them at all

Can I just get in to watch you guys? I never race my e55, I don't think that I will, but I will love share time with everybody there, also I may tune my car @ famoso (for the right price !!)...., I never race before .... I'm in Bakersfield maybe we can plan to do something at Hooters, or chuy's or Chili's after Famoso... what you guy's think about that?

If you plan to tune your car at Famoso, then you'll have to reserve (and pay) a spot before the deadline. After the deadline, no cars will be added.
Tuning the car on the track, in my opinion, is a great tool to incorporate real-world driving conditions. It is hard to simulate 115 mph winds on a dyno, and aero dynamic drag, etc....

We've had a W212 E63 at Famoso run last month.... for some reason it did not do that great. I'm not sure if it was a new car (1200 miles) or if it was was because of the race launch feature, which made it almost impossible for the guy to burn out properly
Either way, I'd love to see one running out there in good weather. I think whoever runs his W212 first will get the record right away regardless of what times they actually run since there seems to be no one else running them at all

Likely not in dyno mode. Im definately excited to help the possible W212 participant capture a record for the West. Id Love to see a sub 11 second 63 and a sub 12 63 too.....

NO NITROUS! if the da/temp is right with an adequete cool down and good track prep it could set a record(doubt it tho). it has all the capabilities to run 10.7 i would think
#99
I would guess 10.6-10.7 in some good weather with your 100 octane tune and TCU....fo sure! If you bring the correct spacers you would be more than welcome to try my skinnie setup to take down the all time record. Just promise me we could get at least a couple of runs in together.... I look forward to the race!
