I'll try to capture Cheston, although I haven't seen him in years! He is friends with my good friends Clint and Gurgen. Hopefully I can drag Gurgen along, although his car is a road racing car, not drag.

So what is the average power level at the track?

Should be a fun trip if anyone from LA is down!

I would guess that last years avg was 600+whp DD, so close to 700whp DJ. All the built motor guys ran race gas or E85 except Raj and I who ran pump+meth.

IIRC its roughly 2 hours away from Fontana @ Hendersonville Airport in NC. Several of us stayed the night at the Hampton Inn that is ~15-20 min from the airstrip the night before the event.

No we all drive back to Fontana around 5 pm together in a caravan the night of the event. It's a blast. It will still be light outside by the time we arrive. Book your room in Fontana for Thu night. I usually leave my home at 8 am and arrive at the airstrip around noon (we usually run 12-5). Actually the last 30-60 mins we start taking group photos...

I brought 30 extra gallons of E-85 last year + a full tank and I'll be doing the same this year.

I dont mind sharing either

I think I will drive up this year. Missed last year because the 2JZswap was not completed. I dont have the sedan anymore, I sold it and bought a KB Cobra. Can I still play?

And folks it's on! This should another exciting event filled with trash talking and overall mayhem. Hopefully the locals will bring out some interesting hardware as well. .

I'd like to get a firm signup sheet going, and we will be activating a link to our online store for actual payments.

Awesome Sharif - thanks for hosting again!

ToastZ, rcdash, MADScientist, Blackbird_CPV35 are in. SouthernG35 also I think.

Cass007, GreenGoblin and str8dum1 (if break in and tune go ok) are "in" if the car gods permit (fingers crossed guys).

Few others on the fence...

I'm in too Raj. I may not have a car yet but I'll still pay the fee just to make sure we have enough $$. I've got a couple of Evo friends too that may be interested.
