we're bringing several bottles of that too. We're gonna have to borrow a few too to bring out there. If I do get my car done, e85 is going in,... not sure were to find it out there. I'd have to have a 55gallon drum out with me there lol.
But seriously.... we need to find this out.

Nice numbers I like, is that what your setup is gonna be for the race, if so i have some work to do.
Here are my numbers but from last year I have to some tuning before the event trying to make some more Power. I made 385WHP/335WTQ at 21PSI hoping to make more
Should be Fun.

yeah im going to be running the bottle on a 75 shot, i have a progressive n2o controller so i may up the jetting to a 100 shot and just have the controller step it up nice and easy. we'll see how the day goes and how many runs we'll get. i would like to try a few different setups.

Agree on the 'bring whatever you need' comment - it is quite a run back to US27 for anything.
And bring your alligator repellent. I flew over the strip yesterday and saw a couple of alligators actually basking on the runway. I'm sure the cars will scare them off, but it truly is in the middle of the everglades so don't go wandering off.
It would be good to get the HighperformanceHP or similar guys out there to do nitrous fills/fuel fills for those who need some extra.

I would be cool with pitching a few extra bucks if need be for a shirt if it came down to it. Anybody working on a shop to bring out some extra nitrous/fuel? I really don't want to have to spend the money for a spare bottle, but I guess that would give me an excuse to go dual bottles

What is everyone doing to prep their cars? I figure this is going to be pretty damn rough on the car as the day goes on...
So far my checklist is:
- Prep tires (bringing two sets of tires just in case)
- change all fluids 2 days before event, do general check up on brakes, lines, filters, etc
- bring some extra fluids just in case
- double check all fittings, belts, etc
- bringing all my normal supplies - jack & stands, air compressor, tire gauge, race tape, helmet, tool kit, extinguisher
- bringing an extra 5 gallons of gas for the drive home. A full tank should last me the day but it will be good to know there is a reserve.
And of course I am bringing the extra comforts - full cooler with food, drink, supplies, change of clothes, book, cameras, canopy and tie downs, folding chairs, insect spray, etc. We are making a day of it so bringing the kids, family and friends.
Also meant to ask - are we running two lanes or just one car on the track at a time?

^^^Nice list, thanks. Hopefully we can run two cars at a time, and that means twice as many runs, RIGHT?!?!?!
Regarding gas stations, it appears there are none located on Tamiami Trail. If you are coming in from the West Coast, there are plenty of stations just before you hit The Trail. On the east coast there appears to be no gas stations at the intersection of Krome Ave and The Trail, looks like you will have to go east of the intersection to get fuel, and then head back west to The Trail. I have PMed Obzidian, who is a Miami native, hopefully he will provide the nearest station, as I am coming from North Broward and will need to top off before heading out to the event.
