W211 E55
I called Jason and spoke with him right after we spoke (nice guy). He addressed all of my track specific questions or concerns. My post was more geared toward the local crowd and coordination surrounding this event, if any. For example, suggestions on hotels, local places to eat, hang-outs the night before or after the event, etc.

Guys, I am not going to make the trip, instead going to Silver Dollar on the same day. The weather looks very promising at 41 low, and 57 high with sunny skies on Saturday here at Reynolds.

Good luck up there and hope the day brings many records.

Good Luck Craig- Do Georgia proud with your beast !!!
Sorry we couldn't get some runs in the other week when we were up at Steele, AL.
Spoke with Jason today and he is psyched about your car !!
Keep us posted as to your results.

Thanks brotha, once I looked at the costs to get the car up there and back home, it just was not worth it to me for chasing a few tenths.

It will be cool with a couple track days going on at the same time this weekend though.

Hotels at MIR

Gents,
Where are most of you staying on Friday night? If there is to be any serious entertainment to be had on Friday night (remember Timmayfest?), let's plan to gather at some local watering hole in the area and commence festivities. I have the list of the hotels in the area, just want to know who to call first. Chawkins, it was fun in Ohio. Sorry you won't be there. Thanks. Jon

Whatever is on my gas cap. I had just swapped these back to the SL and corrected tire pressure. Can't remember exactly, too many cars to keep track of. I wanna say, 28/30. I always remember it sounding low for some reason.

10.58 in a S600!!! Very impressive. Do you have a vid of that? I need to see a sled that size move like that. I would also like to see a vid of the crowd's reaction.
