Oh yeah!!!!!!!

 

I'm planning to be there! I made a few changes and this will be a great time to try it out...

 

What blower is that with? Man those curves are sick.

 

It's a Kenne Bell 2.6, but I'm spinning it really fast!

 

Hey, I was wondering if you are the same person who got some of your car work done by Soupie in Long Island. If so, this is Mu with the white slow Audi and you will be attending this event, please let me know. I should be in Maryland that weekend and would love to see your machine in action.

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to make this. I think I'm going to build the block and trans before I do any more racing. Going to be making some changes and selling parts soon. Maybe I'll head up there another time to try something before we tear it apart. We'll see.

 

Weather forecast is looking great!

My car won't be ready because dss made the axles wrong, sent them back to be fixed

 

They're predicting a pretty significant snow storm on Wednesday in Northern Maryland where I live, but I think Southern Maryland is probably just gonna get rain. They're talking maybe a foot, but you know how that changes by the minute. Since the SL doesn't get driven in wet or salty roads, it probably won't be making an appearance. I'll probably still come and hang out though....

 

ready to run! I hope this weather crap blows through quickly and doesn't affect us on Friday.

 

Me too!
I am looking forward to seeing your ZL!
A day just like today would be perfect...she is running like a scalded cat in this weather.

 

Unfortunately MIR has rescheduled to next Friday March 15th due to weather

 

damn...I know there is nothing that can be done about the weather but this totally sucks. My scheduling is difficult to change and this has been in the books for a few months. The forecasts are saying that the MIR area might get 1 inch of snow and Thursday will be rain free after mid day. Friday is clear as well so why are they cancelling...fear of a mega storm? Arrgh...vent vent

 

Weather forecasters here can't ever get it right. Might as well tell us everyday. Today the sun came up and in the evening the sun went down. 3-6 inches by Dulles airport yesterday now 7 inches and up. Right now it's 43 degrees

 

Typical for me....

get all my ducks in a row, get coverage with work, get the oil changed this weekend and boom...

I swear between my schedule and the weather it is a wonder I ever get to the track....lol

 

I'm really sorry. They said that even if it was just rain, it's so cold that they might not be able to get the track dry by then. Again i apologize for the turn of events.
I've learned forecasters never get it right until its happening. It sucks!
Oh man I'm really sorry. Wish there was something i could do about it

 

I was not planning on attending but definitely blows for the guys who were going.

 

I had a feeling MIR would cancel it; They didn't open last weekend because it was too cold and a note on their website said they had to be especially careful with cold temperatures until they get some rubber on the track again after sitting all winter.
I'm still in for next week.

 

They have had track rentals before that were so cold the burnout box had ice in it. I bet they will be kicking themselves Friday because this could have happened. Why not wait until Thursday to make the decision? I would love to see a web cam pic on Friday of a sunny/clear day with a dry track.

 

OK, thanks!!!

See you then!!!

I think I saw your car at my friends shop nearby.....

MIR just posted a pic and stated "the track is almost dry" on Facebook. How about the rental on schedule for tomorrow? Should be a perfect day. I knew this would happen. Not to be a "sour puss" but they should have waited.

 

It was a good decision based on the weather predictions.

It would be very hard to switch gears back to tomorrow without stripping the gears out for many people including me.

considering the scheduling necessary to make these rentals happen in my world, I think it was a terrible call. Now MIR is bragging on Facebook that "the track is almost dry" a full day before the originally scheduled rental. Whatever...I just hate hasty decisions based on "what ifs" instead of what happened/reality with the weather. If MIR will allow it, I still want to go tomorrow even if the turnout is less than expected.

 

Ahmad,
Will you have your axles back in time for the new date?

 

I had to go based on what MIR told me. I can't get enough cats for tomorrow.
Thanks for understanding.
I apologize but i can't get enough cars for tomorrow. I know its difficult to plan for. I had to make the call in advance because there are people driving from long distances. I even asked if we could do a single lane tomorrow but he said you will just spin. You can call him and ask. Plus it would be hard to get a minimum of 8 cars in less than 24 hours and the track is completely unprepped since last year. Again i apologize, i wanted to go tomorrow too
Axles might be back but car won't be ready.

 

Mines fixed! What to do, what to do.....?
