I remember racing back east. The tracks are amazing and you run significantly quicker compared to what we have here on the left coast.
GL to everyone!

Queue the "I can't make it because xxxxxx" posts. They always drop like flies on the days leading up to it.
I can't talk, I've missed a few and I'm only 2 hours out.

I should be there, and I plan to be running. We have a slight problem at the household. We lost our live-in daycare, so we don't have the flexibility we used to. If my wife is okay with following behind me in a second car, with the kids, and my drag radials, I'll be running. If she's not hip on that idea, I'll probably just come and help wherever I can.
Either way Craig, you'll be able to gaze into my eyes.

Install a 100 shot on the Caddy, drive family to the track, run the caddy.
Problem solved.

Sal? No. His car took a pretty nasty hit. The white C63? Yes

Max PSI Stage 2.5 turbo M3 to join too?
If Mike Radowski can finish up my car, I will gladly let him take it to this event. I would pay the rental fee and have Mike drive my car to break his own E46 M3 US record that he set this past September with his Stage 2 kit. His shop is in Linden NJ so not that far from MIR.
He ran a 10.43 at 136mph. It's posted on Dragtimes. He is an excellent driver and should give the powerful modified MBs a little competition from a small 3.2 litre V6.
Weistec is still quiet with their tuning efforts on my C55 so I'm afraid it won't be readdy for this event. Otherwise, I would let Steve or Anthony take the car up there for a run as well.

So, it looks like everyone is bailing out! I am 90 min. from Atco and I will just go and run my car there. I was going just bc everyone seemed to be going to break records and get in the 9's etc etc. Looks like that has fizzled a bit so I am bailing out on my 7 hour drive. Good luck to all and I will post my times when I run at Atco.

I wouldn't say everyone is bailing. There's gonna be plenty there, worth coming to see. And the weather is shaping up nicely for some quick runs, at one of the best prepped facilities in the country.
