Default Rpr 4\22

Anybody going out there that Friday weather permitting? If the weather is good I want to take my new to me 05 CTS-V (stock besides Corsa exhaust) and my 02 Z28(bolt-ons) on DRs for some fun.
I plan on a local company and sponsor to do H\C on the Z28 in soon.
I have a few other non-board member that will show up also.
Would like to meet some folks but I know it is Good Friday. Anyhow let me know or bring this thread back to life.

Wes

Just blew out my slave on my clutch. If I'm fixed up, I plan on making 2 passes depending on the DA.

I might be able to swing it if the weather isn't bad and I am able to get my newest mod installed.

You can drive it.

However, if I'm in town I'll be there with my co-worker helping him with his 09 Shelby GT 500, it puts down around 560 he's not tracked it yet so he will be on that learning curve we all go through

Did you get 3rd gear figured out, Andrew? I'm going to turn up the wick a bit and want to run you.

Mark, come play! Leave the bogarts at home and bring out the drag radials, too!

Some? More like 1. He might get the permanant ban with a 9 second pass and the old woman working the booth.

Everything is good except the driver(me) can't get any seat time. Last time out, I didn't even get a warning, I went straight to the trailer. I come to the conclusion that if I don't rent the track I can't get seat time to be able to launch this car where it needs to be. 2.0 60's and 139mph just not working for me. I need to be in the 1.6 range to run in the 9's. We all need to have a track rental day so the 1 and done isn't a problem.

$1500 intially, but when you have 5 cars it is $300 a car and car count after that is still $300. It is a good deal to get to run all day and have no worries.

So roughly $300 a car if it hasn't changed.

To be clear it is $300 a car no matter what and if there are only 3 cars it would be $500 a car. The $1500 covers the track prep and personnel as well as safety crew.
