Just a reminder for this upcoming event in June
Driver Registration is now SOLD OUT for June 21st & 22nd

All spots for drivers have now been filled but this is also a time to meet up as spectators and just spend time together.
This year we again will have 2 known Crossfires out on the runway racing for a 1/2 mile time.
Driven by
ImportLabSRT and oledoc2u

Hotel info is provided below for anyone coming from out of town.
If you choose to make it a full weekend event we stay at this hotel and have dinner together on Saturday night and then have the option to return back to the event for Sunday or head on back home if you choose
.

Last year was most enjoyable for those who attended and I hope to see a nice group join me again in June this year.

Since I haven't been able to get the modifications done to the rear end like I had thought, my position for Saturday is up for sale if you know of anyone who would like to participate in the 1/2 mile shoot out. I already know what it will do the way it is. I had hoped to have had some upgrades done by now, but that didn't happen. Let me know if you know of anyone. If not, we will still run our car. I will attend as a spectator if I sell my place in the event either way, we will be there...

OH, yeah, we will be there. I was just hoping to increase my time...and do some testing at the same time. Just isn't going to happen. Not right now anyway...






If anyone knows of someone on the Mercedes forum that might be interested, let me know. I am not over there much anymore.....thanks...

Gary, I got your message yesterday, sorry I was unable to call back, father's day activities and all.

Molly and I will not be able to make it this year, too much to do with the house, 4 cars, and upcoming wedding
