With all the work Ahmad puts in to set these things up, deal with his own car at the same time, and trying to coordinate everything while making everyone happy, 10 bucks is a pittance. Anyone that wants to come but can't afford the $10, come see me at the track. I'll reimburse you.
Stephen, a heads-up run with that ZL-1 would be a treat!

Cool. Well theres a tradeoff. When it gets that cold its harder to get traction. Ideally it will be right around 50ish degrees, high baro, and low humidity

middle of November will be great temp and people should run some strong times. It looks like my E55 will be sold by then but I may be interested in taking my Z06 if it is allowed to get some shakedown passes before I start my build this winter.....big shot of juice in the works.

I've got family 15 mins from MIR and my brother in law has a killer basement set up, and a 550 whp Evo, so I get to make it a day, racing, football, food. Makes the 1.5hr not so bad. ...

I am getting tempted to make the trip from Florida. I can caravan with Elliot on his way up with the other guys.
I would be driving my CTS-V though to try and get a 9 second pass. I return home on Nov 11th from Italy so it is cutting it close for me, but I want to get meth injection installed when I get home and get retuned and also was going to get a race gas tune. I just don't know if I can get with my tuner in those few days before the event. He is 3.5 hours away from me (south) but does traveling tuning days (1 hour from me being the closest). Maybe I can just get someone else to tune it locally if he isn't available at the time.
I will see when the time gets closer, have to make sure I don't get extended longer too which could always happen and not be home for it, but I am starting to think about it.
