I have about 150+ cars on 6SpeedOnline that would be willing to pay a lot of money for a day of racing on the runway.
Fingers crossed as this would be EPIC!

I have requested a 12 hour rental of the runway and the adjacent taxiway from the Town of Riverhead but I have not heard back yet.

Your worst nightmare...
I do want help! I don't know how to ask the town... I sent the town supervisor and his assistant a pretty nice request last week. Offering them 50% of the entry fees and the other 30% would be donated to charity. The remaining money would be used for garbage collection, bathrooms and security for the event.

This is a public-owned private-use airport, it has two runways. Both are X'd out. SkyDive Long Island has a 20 year lease on the other runway. There is no aircraft systems at that airport.

Thanks Bro! Your little monster will be done soon as well. 
Update: Coil packs are in...I am so Blessed that they just went right in, did not even have to tilt the motor.
Impression: Car feels like its on steroids
....I did not do any pulls, but drove it around the lot and boy is she ready. 
Ok, Ok, I did mash her once all she did was spin the wheels but then power was cut as we have boost issues to fix, we are connecting boost controller and fixing up boost lines that were broken. This weekend is blast off.

Have you talked to anybody at the airport? Shoot me a PM with the details and maybe I can help find a way in.

Jody,
Don't know if this was discussed, but I just thought of something. What, if anything, has been done to the Airmatic calibration, do deal with the extra weight of the V12TT up front?

We were thinking about the weight difference between the V8 and V12 and let me tell you I dont think it is much heavier than the V8, The turbos are gone, the supercharger is gone. The added turbos have been replaced and shifted more towards the middle of the car, the manifolds are aluminum and lighter.
We drove the car today and fixed many other problems, all we are waiting for is finalizing time to tune this beast. All I can say is she feels on steroids.
