Great website Mo!

I can't wait to see how everyone does this year!

MB_Forever

Thanks guys.... this is the first time we actually run a big rental in December. In the past, our rentals always been either in November or in January/February which sometimes saw temperatures as high as 75 F. However, at Famoso (in December), the temperature has always ranged between 45 to 50 F, so I'm hoping it stays like that this year so we can finally get COLD weather and some nice DA.

Sun, you should bring your car out for some fun runs....

Cold temps are great for HP, but often traction goes away. Please have them run some heavy VHT! I was at Sacramento yesterday, no VHT at all!

MB_Forever

Traction at Sacramento is usually a hit or miss. In the winter time, it's always almost been a miss. But lately, it seems that there's been a lot more misses than usual. In fact, in the past few years, people have reported on multiple forums that traction has been lacking in different ways I believe one post mentioned that they don't own a fire burner (too expensive) to warm up the track when there is not enough sunlight. That's why they wouldn't want to use VHT in that case, as it'll only make things worse (very slippery). Also, their track has been needing re-surfacing for the past 5 years; they have a few dangerous spots that need fixing.

Famoso, on the other hand, just re-surfaced their entire track in concrete last February. Normally, tracks only use concrete in the first 200 feet or so, but they decided to do the whole track. Also, they service and upgrade their equipment (at least) once a year per contract. The last two "November Events" we experienced temps as low as 48 F and people were still cutting 1.5 and 1.6 60' times not including the super-insane drag cars that were running low 9s all day

FlyingGuy

see you there

MB_Forever

If the expected high temp stay at 52 F, then we'll be racing in 45 F to 48 F for most of the day...

*sorry for that, was on my cell earlier when I posted.

Good luck guys!!! Must be nice to look at ten day forecast and have it be sunny every day lol. Thanks for putting these events together Mo! I know it takes hard work to pull off good rentals

Famoso DA today at 10:00am was -533.


Saturday looks a little cooler and a little dryer. Right now it is 46 degrees with 41% humidity. The track sits at +600 so I think we should be in negative teritory all day Saturday. If anyone has a car to beat the record(s), this will be the west coast day to do it. Look forward to seeing everyone!!

MB_Forever

Whoever is in SoCal or NorCal wants to join us, this is your chance to sign up. We won't get this cold weather again at the track until next year. I updated the website earlier today


Looking forward to seeing everybody there...

Bramage

Looks like we got canceled. Very disappointing, but not Mo's fault... I appreciate the attempt, and will wait for the new date.

I wish more people interested in modding these cars were interested in seeing what they will actually do.


**EDIT** Potential Rescue plan in the works to make Saturday!!!!

Dane, sniffing 10's out of your beast. You've get all the ingredients, now drop those pantys sir Goodluck and shoot my your cell to I can pester you as the records drop.

Bramage

Yea, too bad so many mother****ers canceled at the last ****ing minute leaving Mo out to ****ing dry. And the rest of us *********** in the cold.

We will have another day...

That is a kick in the *****. I feel for you brother! Even though the rental is cancelled, will be open for t&t later in the day?

Denroll

It's only a 247 mile trek from my house!

I'll try to get in on the next one. 2300 miles in the last 4 days is enough for now.

falconsprint

I'm too busy this month but I'm interested if you do any next year.

Bramage

I believe Mo is trying to align with another group, and it will likely be in January.

DA at Famoso right now is (neg) -791. It is such a shame we lost this opportunity. We rarely get this type of conditions, and these are required to make the passes we are all hoping for.

I have completed my grieving period, so Ill stop whining like a B ***** TCH now..

Denroll

You going to the Qualcomm races any time soon? I might need a local to show me around.
