I see it says all Z's G's and GTR's welcome....

But a friend of mine is thinking about bringing his magnum RT with bolt-ons.

Could he run? I think I saw someone talking about bringing an M6 in the FI thread..

My Z barely broke into the 13's last time I had it at the 1/4 mile track. I'm sure the lightweight flywheel it has now would help, but not much. So I would just be spectating.

As long as he comes with you (a Z owner), I think it'd be fine! Might want to have him PM Sharif just to confirm before sending in payment, but I'd love to see a variety of cars out there.

There will be a NA class, you should run. You'd be surprised how much comes down to you (the driver) and it's so much fun, win or lose. It's really just about sharing the afternoon with other car enthusiasts in a safe setting where you can let the cars open up a bit...

Yes we are allowing a variety of cars, just make sure to PM one of us for confirmation. Last year, we had a turbocharged NSX making some passes.

I'd like to know where we stand as well. I don't want to be beating the bushes if we have "enough" already. Too many cars and it won't be as fun, having to wait between runs, etc. I know several folks getting their cars ready will likely not sign up till the last minute, so...

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. I know the real reason you're building a GTR Mike!!! Next year, I might actually have some trouble. This year, not too worried. After all, you still have to do the shifting, yes?

I am still planning on going... However I just had a meeting get scheduled the Wednesday before, so it will be close getting there on time...

I excited to see how the M6 will do against you guys... I guess I can let XKR win this year, I was getting tired of being on top all the time, that is if his car makes it there in one piece...

So you are going to let XKR be on top this time? I had no idea...


I thought XKR was married?

So only 7 ppl signed up?

Honestly I think this sounds like a lot of fun, but my personal opinion, it's not worth $125 to me. Maybe for the FI guys, this gives them a chance to let loose and turn up the boost, but for N/A guys, I don't see the value (just my opinion, no offense intended)

Maybe if this was priced to about $50 or even $60 then I would have signed up. But for $125 I'd rather go to a road course and play with twisties for a full day. Again, just my opnion.

But any chance to reduce the entry fee? Maybe you'll get more entrants at a lower price and end up getting the same amount?
