We'll be spraying a car with a hefty shot if all goes well but, no need on this car for the full mile. Maybe 3-5th. Extensive time logging and dyno time is what we plan for that car. Race fuel is what the car will be running(thats all it runs). It's a built motor, so we should be fine. Besides, we've sprayed the car on the highway numerous times in 5th so, we think we'll be fine. Tunes always been spot on but, we are changing to direct port and a sheetmetal intake.

We'll be running a friendly 25-35psi depending on traction.

I'm with ya, we can figure a time and meeting place once the day gets closer. My neighbor is driving my C6 and I will be in my V. I am sure if we coordinate this we can have about 10 cars from Broward making the trip down there. Maybe we can do some spirited runs on 75 and The Trail during our trip just to set the tone for the day. I think there may be two 800+RWHP Vettes joining us,,,

A good meeting place for the Broward and Palm Beach people would be on I-75, west of the big spaghetti bowl. From the north you can Sawgrass Expressway until it ends and then jump on I-75 North. We can meet at one of the two exits before you hit 27. This sucks for those living south of I-595, as another alternative is heading south past there into Southern Broward, but I do not know how to get to U.S. 27 from that far south. I am sure someone knows,,,

It's easy. Either take griffin west,..runs into 27th,...or stay on 75,..and RIGHT BEFORE THE BIG TURN EAST,...getoff on that exit. It's the FIRST EXIT after MIAMI GARDENS DR. Get off,..go straight south,....it is a 5 minute ride or less to US 27th from there.


We'll be bringing an enclosed trailer....not sure what else just yet will actually be driving there. Without a doubt it will be another car. Maybe the goat,...maybe another trailer,...dunno yet.

That big retail complex at the SE corner of Pines and I-75 is a good meeting place. What's in the enclosed trailer?

I honestly don't know whats gonna happen until the day before man. It really isn't up to us guys when and where,..it's up to these bitchy ladies... the cars,... and it all depends on how well set up we can get everything before hand. Hopefully, we'll all be problem free, and ready to go for the event bright and early. From my understanding, it opens early,...we intend to be there early. SO....... maybe,....maybe if we can get everyone together,...(doubtful) we can all go do an early breakfast somewhere.

Start the day off right.

Trailer's?.... Mike hit the nail on the head I think. CrazyG's fully built GT spec'd Twin turb G35 "street" car(race car with plates). Josh's C5R. Going up to the car this weekend to hopefully finish that.

Possibly another car, and a third trailer. But that'd be a phantom car until the event. Maybe Eddie will bring one of his cars.


Do you have a helmet?

Okay, the meeting place that seems convenient for the Broward and Palm Beach crowd is the parking lot of 'The Shops at Pembroke Gardens', SE corner of Pines and I-75, click below:

Not sure of meet-up time, as I do not know when we have to be there for safety check. Once we know this we can set a time.

Yep, got a helmet. Planning on a few cans of octane boost but may get some 100+ at VP Fuels in Oakland Park the day before, got tape for panel seams, got tools and fluids just in case, probably get a spare belt or two, etc...
I am ready!!!
