It was allllright. We waited like 4 hrs to get on the track n were on it for like 5 mins. The cruise to the track was more fun.

Im down!!

Should we organize a cruise out there?

How about we meet at Starbucks on 635 and MacArthur.

 

I've gone to it before when i had my Altima. Been wanting to get the G on there. But i probably won't be going out there til about 7pm cuz of work.

 

yeah we went last year and it was alot of fun!

 

Are they only doing laps on the oval now? I heard that they no longer take you through the infield course.

 

whats the infield course? when we went there were about 500-600 cars out there waiting to go around the track...yes it was just the oval around 3 times

 

I'm down for another!! We can do the cruise to BeerVipers house again!

 

We tried this last year but apparently the groups get booked up months in advance. Doesn't hurt to try!

 

hope it doesn't rain. there is a 20% chance. although the last time that i went, it had rained earlier in the day and that kept a lot of people away so i didn't have to wait for my run

 

Hey Chris (g35man04),
You going? If so, LMK if I can hand you over a bunch of G cards to distribute to other G owners at this event.

 

well as of right now not sure if I will be making it unles my rim comes in friday and I can get it mounted then my car all back together...I will be receiving all my clearcorners.com parts on saturday that I planned on installing

 

^ well then, hit me up if u r going.

 

Last year I didn't see the 75mph limit.... think most of us hit 100+.... think they will be a stickler on this?
