SSRE gave you a bump on their FB page. You should have at least a few inbound requests. I talked to a few of the high HP GTR,Supra,P-car and Vette guys and they are planning on coming down since they weren't ready in time for the the thing on the 8th.

Nice 
I'm hoping for high barometric pressure
Sounds like fun!
That does suck.
Yea theres still room and you will get into the 11s. Get some drag radials
Yes of course it's still a go. The cars you see here are not all of the cars that will be there. Actually most aren't even on here.
Gates open at 8:30AM but track isnt prepped until later
Nice!
There will be a bunch of cars racing. My car is on the dyno right now so we will see if I'm racing or not
Exactly. Looking forward to seeing you too
Cool
I'm hoping for high barometric pressure
just put a diaper on the back of it to catch all the partsThat does suck.
I'm out, car won't be ready in timeGates open at 8:30AM but track isnt prepped until later
Since my car won't be ready in time my wife and I will be doing this on the 16th. http://www.theultimatetitan.com/
Who all is still going to be racing? I really wish I could be there but my stars don't always align. Besides, it was a ***** making these turbos fit in the engine bay, but they are in.

In terms of the track being open to anyone technically no it's a private rental but I let pretty much anyone run as long as they aren't a douche. There should be plenty of room for the kids and wife. It's not a public mir event. More low key and more fun lol.

Mine is up and running after a head gasket job. Biggest problem right now is cold start on E85 is absolutely horrible with the tune I'm running. :/ Having trouble buttoning everything up and making sure the car is solid since anything beyond 30% throttle in 35* weather just destroys the RS3s.
I want to show up bad. Let's see how comfortable I feel with the old girl in a couple days.

He did revise my startup and in city driving maps, call him at the shop and he can send you a reflash. I doubt we will be at the event since my tranny got trashed.

If you want to make it 9, you should remind Clayton its THIS week. Maybe suggest he put down the hash pipe tonight and place both shoes by the door. Once he's behind the wheel he's all business. I'm saying he should put some dried ice chunks in his stock airboxes and finally get a 10 sec pass. LOL

I haven't even started the thing since last Friday. I'll have Siri remind me that it's THIS Saturday. I swear on my sons eyeballs that if Stephen didn't stop me, we'd have all been there 9am last Saturday.
When I told the Mrs last Friday, she just looked at me with a stone cold face and said "sounds about right" and walked away. Good stuff.

The weather forecast isn't looking that great, unfortunately. 50% chance of light rain in the morning and 30% in the afternoon. Hopefully it will not be a bust. The forecast changed quickly as earlier in the week there was no mention of rain on Saturday....arrgh!
