I'm a firm maybe. It's too far out for me to commit totally. If I didn't have a wife and 2 small boys, I'd be 100%. Right now, I'm 50/50, but my wife usually let's me do what I want. Just need to lay the ground work. :d

Sounds like this is gonna cost me a pair of Jimmy Choo's or Louboutins.

Get it done Clayton! Adam and Peter will be there! I think the best part is watching Adam and Peter getting drunk every night!

You will not regret it! Plus you get to woop some BMW ESS supercharged M5s! I am working on the track details. We are going to limit the cars that are allowed to run. Otherwise, we will have all 100 cars wanting to run. That wont work. I think we are going to have about 15 MB spots and 15 BMW spots. We till have the track from dawn to dusk and both lanes.

I will bring my car, and we will probably bring the shop 135i and m5 and possibly the dyno.

There were approximately 70 cars there last year, and this year is definately looking bigger!
For the record, there were 130+ cars there last year. I stopped counting at 128......

NO ONE on the M5board is talking smack, nor have they challenged any of the MB's. We are just trying to get together and enjoy the summer with some fast cars and great friends. It would be great if some of you fellow enthusiasts could join us.....

Did you figure out the track yet would love to participate but 9 hours for 1 run isn't that great?

I set things up at National Trails, but after getting a message from Marcus about the 11.49 roll cage crap, he suggested that we move things to Marion. It doesn't make sense to have a drag night if no one can run. I am waiting to hear from Marcus, Jake, or somebody on pricing for track rental or what ever. Right now I am out of the loop.


Track date : June 10th - times and location TBD

Timmayfest 2011 :

June 11th 10am - 4pm
Quaker Steak and Lube
8500 Lyra Drive
Columbus, OH 43240

If you have any questions please contact me : timmayfest (at) yahoo (dot) com

Sorry mean smack as in jest. Couldn't be a cooler set of guys there. It was really awesome, reminded me of a MB meet as everyone was really mellow, loved to chat cars, and showed a lot of love for the mb cars there.

Wow 128, thats what happens where your with the EC girls all night...
