Did you miss this post man? :

If this is for the West Coast Shootout event, then the English Racing crew will be coming down for this event. Planning on bringing 5 cars this year instead of 3. Jeff Bush's 8-sec 1G auto drag car, 2 low-10s 1G autos, a low-8s MKIV Supra, and a low-9s Civic HB.

haha. DSM's as a group will be well represented, but we will be lucky to compete with some of the other cars out there. Gotta be realistic about things. Bet you that civic and supra will make you feel like you're a couple pegs lower by the end of the day... hahaha. I'm going to watch some live and reckless motor sports action, not to try and make some Honda kids cry.

hey you going king??

naw im not gonna go.. hopefully ill see everyone on saturday in milpitas

 

[zfanatics]

To everyone thats racing, please make sure your car can pass tech!

This means, no oil leaks that follow you from the pits to the staging lights, make sure you have your battery tied down with a metal bracket (no zip ties or ratcheting straps), some sort of overflow that is secure and not leaking, and if you are running 13.99 or quicker you need a helmet! ( Snell m2000 or higher) DOT approved helmets may be used, but they also NEED to meet snell requirements.

If you've never been to the track before, have someone hop in with you that has, so they can advise you of return lanes, speed in the pits and general etiquette.

For most of us this is basic stuff, but for some of you that havent raced PLEASE ask questions if you are not sure. Its a long drive up to sac, just to end up in the pits not racing if your car doesnt pass tech.

Very good info Ted! I will be there as always.

Oh yeah, this sucks for me. I may have to work the Thunderbird Airshow at Travis. But I would much rather go to this. I think Im going to try to get out of the airshow.

Who's driving past Fairfield? I literally live on Beck Ave I-80 onramp. PM me, Ill bring the TSI AWD as a spectator. I may even make it down to Milpitas tomorrow night, 70 miles away though, which round trip is about $40 in gas in my POS.

Rolling in the A87s Josh!

sooo random... but the airshow is the same weekend as this?

Unfortunately, yes.

Here is the Thunderbird schedule. They wouldn't show up unless it was an Airshow. Plus at work I have a countdown clock on my Sharepoint page, so Its definitely the same weekend. But it looks like Saturday may be a little slow at the track. Reading the Honda site link that was posted, saturday looks like 5PM and later. Sunday looks like it starts at 10am. So maybe the Airshow on Saturday and Sac raceway on Sunday.

So the guys further north of san jose will just meet us there or we can pick them up on the way if it is close, but how early should we all meet at the foster freeze to make it to sac by 9?

 

[Limegrntaln]

You guys are gonna have to leave by 7ish to make it there by 9.

 

[2g99]

[Ludachris]

I just might have to make it out there... now that I'm only a few minutes away.

You have to make it! We all have to meet "The Man, The Myth, The Legend" You should setup a T-Shirt booth! Id buy a few for sure.

 

[2g99]

i agree! ill buy a few my self!!

 

[Kingcof22]

+3 for the appearnance of ludachris!!!

"The Legend"... I don't know about all that. I don't have any shirts or anything else that I'd be able to bring with me - hell, my 1G is still torn apart and won't be ready by then. I'd just show up to check out some fast DSMs and meet some people. You don't get a whole lot of DSMers with fast DSMs showing up in numbers at any events not called the Shootout these days. Hell, I'd be ecstatic to see more than 3 well done DSMs in any one place.

 

[98GSXin]

Our little get together would go from a meet to a mecca! People would come for dsm religious purposes if Ludachris came out!
