ahhhh I hate to say this but I think you should pull my name off running the list also. I broke another bone in my finger at a martial arts class, and with two screwed up fingers I don't think I'll be able to shift well enough to make it worth it.

It may feel well enough by then, but I don't want anyone else to miss this chance in case it doesn't feel better

I'll probably still come out to watch, unless that makes me more angry that I can't run!

Just basic bolt-ons, I haven't seen it run lately but last season IIRC it was trapping over 100 (dont remember exactly how many MPH over, but definitely over).

Awesome man... I can't wait to see that 500 shot of n2o on the strip... you should pretty much be instantly propelled to the 1/4 mark I am sure...

Give me a ring Thursday Night. I might need you to give me a drive up to AAM to pickup my car. We can make plans to convoy to MIR with my friends bikes/trucks for Friday morning.

Just come on out man.. I we have plenty of space at the moment (it looks like a lot of people signed up a long time ago, but by the conversations in this thread, only about 8 people are serious about coming out)

If you can drive you can drive, otherwise hang out, give us tips and make us jealous by drinking beer in front of us...

Alright, you've convinced me... I will be spraying Friday, just so I can feel like I am in the nawz club.

This sucks... I'm still gonna be stock Friday morning. My exhaust and boost controller don't come in 'till Friday night.

You can take my boy Chad off the list... I don't know if any of you have been up to Capital this past week, but if so, the white Cobra up there is his... busted axle. The GTO is still good I think.

I'll contribute to the food... I'll bring up some drinks (no, no alcohol, just soda).

Hey Brent, I was wondering if there's space for Phil from Element Tuning to come out and run his WRX.. I know we have a non-Z wait list, but he's a definite because he wants to fine-tune the car to hit 600whp mark (he only hit 585 at Altered's Dyno today without the laughing gas).

Could you let me know via PM or on this thread? Phil and I are definites and are willing to pay the $75 fee if you could squeeze us in. Do you happen to know what your DEFINITE count is? It's hard to tell who's REALLY in and who's not.

Btw, because of the weather, upper 80s is good for the traction, so I dont think you guys should have problems at MIR for the launch since they do such a good job prepping the surface. Drag slicks or not, just have a good reaction time and feel the car out, there's grip on that strip.

Thanks Brent for all the initial setup. Should we show up at MIR AT 9 or is everyone meeting or just driving by themselves down there?

Hey man, I understand Chad had to withdrawal, so Phil can take his place. I will post the updated list tomorrow morning.

The Non-Z list is a definite list now. Everyone on the last list is OK to come. As for a definite confirmed list.... So far I only appear to have interest by about 10 Z guys and about 7 others, but like most things having a definite count is pretty difficult.

I would say given that, anyone that is on the list or had talked to me is welcome to join us. I have had 2 guys cancel today and now 2 guys want to join. SO it looks like a good wash for me. Say about 25 people.

I am going to do my best to be there by 9. If anyone shows up before me, just tell them you are with me. We will not be able to run until I pay the fee, I can hand out the stickers and we go through TECH I think. as for convoys, there are some threads in the Mid-A section regarding that.

I also want to confirm we will have a couple of grills and I believe 3 people are bringing burgers/dogs. Take a look at the food list and feel free to add anything you might think would be useful.

I look forward to seeing everyone Friday. Please remember to bring cash for the fee and any race gas you might want to use.

I'm still in... No slicks , but we'll see what my street tires can hold. At 3500+ lbs, my G is a fat b!tch, so I'm counting on the almighty snail gods to help me out a bit. We'll see...

See you guys at the track
