Cool *****Famoso Raceway - Private Track Rental - NEW DATE 04/01/2011 *****

This one will be a little different than our usual private rental. Since the track is a bit busy this February, the only date that seems to be available (at least for now) is Saturday, February 19th. Unfortunately, there is a prior commitment with another company/group on that same exact day. So after a few back and forth with the parties involved, we decided to merge our group with theirs. However, I would like to still keep my list separate since we may do a few extra things.

Now for the bad news...

This is a big private rental (75 to 80 cars), but I think we'll only have about 20 spots available at most due to heavy demand. Spots are filling up extremely quickly and will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis. So if you are interested, please PayPal the money and info as soon as possible. Also, since they are setting the rules this time, please understand that there will be no refunds given under any circumstances - even for weather delays. So [b]please make sure you can attend this before signing up. However, if something happens and you can not make it, you can still sell your spot privately to someone else and update me with the new racer's information.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
- Price per car is $100 + $4 PayPal fees = $104.
- The fee entry is 100% non-refundable.
- You can avoid PayPal fees and send only $100 if and only if you send the money as a Personal Transfer from your bank account. So, if it comes from credit card, debit card, etc... then the total per car is $104.
- Racing Time: 9:00 am to dark
- Spectator fee is $5 per person and will be collected at the gates.
- Send payment to the following PayPal account:

- With each payment, please include the following information:
  • Full name (as it appears on your driver's license)
  • Make/Model/Color of the car you will be using.
  • Telephone number & E-mail Address (in case of last minute updates)
  • Indicate that this is for Mo's group.

BONUS MATERIAL
For my group only, if there is enough demand, I will try to work out a deal to race a few hours extra into the night.... colder temps, lower DA, lower times, higher traps, etc...

Lets start the list:
=============

1) Bramage - E55 - Stage 5
2) Juicee63 - Corvette C6 Hertz Edition
3) Michael TXR
4)

Hey Tony.... did you just say 996 turbo? you dawwg.... you never mentioned anything? You better drop by and show me that thing

Since this is not my direct rental, I can not add anyone. You have to send payment to be added to the list. Spots are going really fast so if you know you can go, please sign-up ASAP.... I'd love to see your new beast on the track

List Update....

IMPORTANT: not one single person sent the entry fee correctly . The fee is NOT $100, the fee is $104. It is only $100 if you can send it through PayPal as a "Personal Transfer" and only from a bank account not a credit/debit card. So if it is sent as "Personal Transfer" from a credit card, it would still be $104.

01) Bramage - E55 - Stage 5 - Custom Grill
02) Chris63 spot 1 - C63 - Stage 1
03) Chris63 spot 2 - CLS55 - Stage 1
04) Juicee63 - Corvette C6 - Hertz Edition
05) HKDyno Shop - Olds 442
06) HKDyno Shop - 74 Trans Am
07) HKDyno Shop - 68 GTO
08) HKDyno Shop - 69 Camero
09) HKDyno Shop - 70 El Camino
10) FlyingGuy - Porsche 996 Turbo - Custom Work
11) SMOKIN5.7 - 06 Charger R/T
12) computadude - BMW 335 - Stage 2

**** PAYPAL UPDATE ****

For some reason, the PayPal zero fee thing is not working out. Only 1 person out of the 15 who sent payment managed to do it correctly. However, it seems like the other group is having problems with it as well. I was told PayPal is doing a few internal changes to their accounts due to changes in regulation starting January 2011. So until we figure this out, from now on, please send $104 regardless of where the money is coming out from or how it is sent. Sorry for all the trouble.... for some reason, this time around, the fee thing has caused more headache than it saved.

Here is the latest list of Paid/Confirmed spots:
==================================

01) Bramage - E55 - Stage 5 - Quickest/Fastest E55 with a custom grill
02) Chris63 spot 1 - C63 - Stage 1
03) Chris63 spot 2 - CLS55 - Stage 1
04) HKDyno Shop - Olds 442
05) HKDyno Shop - 74 Trans Am
06) HKDyno Shop - 68 GTO
07) HKDyno Shop - 69 Camero
08) HKDyno Shop - 70 El Camino
09) FlyingGuy - Porsche 996 Turbo - Custom Work
10) SMOKIN5.7 - 06 Charger R/T
11) computadude - BMW 335 - Stage 2
12) MacGCU - C63 AMG - Stage 2
13) gripforce-cl65 - GT-R 1000 hp
14) Jay - 2011 Porsche Turbo S - Stock
15) Brute SRT - Chrysler SRT 8
16) Terry335 - BMW 135 - bolt-ons - Tuner Of The Quickest/Fastest BMW 135/335 in the country

Four more spots and I'll have filled up my initial allocation of 20 spots. I will try to get 10 more spots by next week, but as of this point, they are not guaranteed.

Hey Mo, this sounds great! Sign me up for my 2011 335d. I am trying to be the first 335d diesel in the country to hit 12's. While getting 40mpg to and from the track, LOL. Also, if I bring my other 335i, and I am the only driver between the 2 cars, do you get a 2nd car discount or pay twice?

You're welcomed.... there are actually two groups in this rental: us, lsx guys, and a small private group (don't know the guy yet).

Either way, we should have a good racing day
