There are alot of guys coming down from NY/NJ area. Any of you all want to caravan down and stay at the same place? I think that would be really cool and make the drive down better

Craigo

+1... I want to go to the track rental... But was looking forward to cruising down with whoever is leaving from NY/NJ.

Thanks for posting this Ahmad

V12Godspeed

I might drive early morning and get there around 9 or so. Dont know yet. Who is leaving the night before? If I drive out the night before I will be leaving after 10 oclock at night probably.

For some stupid reason i want to go 10's at full weight then shed some pounds. Last time at the track i was 4505lbs with 2 gallons of water and a 16lb bag of ice and the gas gauge didnt even come up 1 line. Kinda wish i didnt have a pano roof now. Guess we'll see what happens. Anyone gone in the 10's on a 175 pulley yet???

Yeah, I was asking Ahmad, who in the hell does your car weigh so much. When I ran my best time, I had both front seats pulled, catback pulled, rear seats pulled, and race battery. My wheels setup was skinnys upfront, and the clk320 light weight allows outback. My weight came in 3860 with under a 1/4 tank of race gas, then my weight of 185lbs at the time, put me at 4045:








I have my stock seats at the house, and I will weigh both of them for you guys tonight. That will give you a gauge to see how much quicker you will run with them removed.

e55amgrocket

I was surprised it weighed that much myself that I even took a pic and video. I'm 230lbs so even taking the seats out, light battery, no exhaust,light weight tires and rims I'm still going to be 42XXlbs. Time will tell I guess.

RaceHorse

Leaving from NY but time depends on Friday dyno day schedule. Is it worth staying closer to DC or just stay in nowheres land to be closer to the track in the am???

e55amgrocket

Stay closer to the track. You can find a few nice motels in la plata and your 20 min from the track

novae500

Stay in la plata off of 301 rte . Reference is a best buy that's pretty close to the track

We stayed in Camp Springs last time. It's about 45-50 min from the track, which split up the trip down nicely.
Link below. Ironically, the top two places are located on Mercedes Blvd., and both have decent reviews.

That sounds right. For comparison, at MIR I checked in at 4100-4200lbs.

e55amgrocket

What do you think you weighed on the record passes? We should have mine put back together today/tomorrow then finish up a few odd's and end's then time for tuning.

chawkins2001

He just told you 4100_4200 that is effing hauling the mail brotha.....

e55amgrocket

I was looking for an actual weight. You know they say 100lbs is worth a tenth lol

JAYCL600

take a crap before your run, worth 4 tenths!!

Stephen04E55

I am definitely going. At first it was a "most likely".

EDIT: If you are staying at a hotel/motel local to MIR mention MIR to get a discount. How much I don't know but here is the link to the ones that participate...

No problem. I'm trying to see who is coming when and coordinate something but seems like everyone is coming at different times or doesn't know when they are coming
I'm trying to find that stuff out. I just know alot of people are coming from that area.
If I were you I would go straight to dyno day then a hotel closer to the track. Dealing with rush hour in DC area sucksssss and MIR isn't that close. It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I think if you mention MIR at the hotels close to them they may give you a discount but don't quote me on that. I will double check and get back to you guys.
Nice!!

woohoo free teeth cleaning while we watch?

Stephen04E55

I can scrape "tooth crust" with a nice sharp screwdriver. Unfortunately, my hygienists aren't coming so you guys are SOL! Should be a great day with this list that contnues to grow!

lowprofile

Thanks Craig....as is yours! !!

I weighed it right after the record run with Ahmad's front runners still mounted and even took a pic too. This was at the end of the day, lightest possible weight, gas tank on empty.
Tell you what, you reply to my request in your "records" thread and I will post the pic, fair enough?

e55amgrocket

I ran a 7.07, 7.09, 7.10 at Sumerduck drag way this fall and actually won the test and tune gamblers race that night running a 7.14 on a 7.13 dial. 7.0x 1/8th is right there at a 10.9x pass. On those runs I cut consistent 1.60-1.61 60ft's. When we tore the motor down to figure out where the power went we found a few problems but it will be back together for the next track day (we hope). I tore the engine mounts causing the manifolds to crack, head gaskets were blown and had a few vacuum leaks also and the worse was a broken converter that was killing power.

I meant for you to respond in your thread, not here. See you over there.

Benz-O-Rama

Umm....yeah. Ahmad, you might wanna call Jason.

blackbenzz

I did and he said "We are pouring slab on Friday, should be able to race Monday!"

Benz-O-Rama

Yeah. Posted this before I texted you.

Looks like we'll be de-virginizing the new launch pad.
