All didn't go well...

Looks like unless a miracle happens and I can get into Speed Inc for a tune before the event I won't make it...

october 2nd is the fall event actually. Last year in november it was 18 degrees in the morning, had to put coolant in all the race cars to make it out there...blah.


Thought your "street" car got like 25mpg chris? Shouldn't cost too much at all to make it out there, just a leisurely 2 hour drive max

2 hrs each way Sir, more like 15 miles per gallon(500rwhp dont come without fuel)...every 3 miles is a dollar...you do the math...

oct 2nd..well probably scratch that too... add coolant...come on you should have water wetter in there anyways...racecars...you have to add collant anyway for the winter storage...weak excuse...

This is my first time at the Cordova Rental so just a couple questions...

My Wife is thinking about coming out, Just wondering if there are usually any other wives/Gf's/ladies hanging out in the stands so that she isn't all lonely?

Also, is there anything I dare eat there, or should we plan on bringing food?

We usually grill, I believe they have a concession stand open as well, most people just bring chips, burgers, hot dogs, etc in a cooler and toss it on my grill. There will be a lot of families there..... gf's, wives and some guys who are lucky enough to have both LOL. jk.

we could have that running in 7 days


if anyone would like to caravan down i-80 with us, we'll be leaving the speedway at i-80 and harlem and heading west down 80 until the track exit. If you'd like to meet up along the way as well just let me know and we could call you.

I think right now it'll probably be somewhere in the 30s for car count, weather is supposed to be nice, wouldn't mind 50-60 or more Anything to help the club out would be great.
