It would be cool to have a BIG Infiniti turn out!
We all remember the classic announcer quote "Infiniti's all over the place today" (or something like that) a few race days back...

I see Vlad's point about BBQing cuz it will give us something to do in between runs. It's just the logistics and having to get all of the supplies and food and someone to take everything there. Plus when our group gets called while we are cooking . . . catering just seems so much easier. Let someone else worry about those things and we will just worry about blasting down the 1/4 mile.

If we want 1st group I figure 6:00 is critical... also, I think that puts us with the caterer rather than BBQ - Once we get through inspection and find a pit area, group 1 will come up quick... if we are unloading grill, table, coolers, food, drink, etc... It might f-up the first run (or put us in too much of a hurry)
So group 1 = 6:00 = catered... group 2 = 6:15-6:30 = possible BBQ...
Just my thoughts...

I remember the last time I went to CS... Wally, Vlad, some other guys, and myself arrived at around 6:05. We waited 10 minutes and no one arrived. By that time, we were already in the 4th group (IIRC).
6:30 is pushing it way too much; that might not even make the cutoff if its a busy day.

I'm game to meet at IHOP to eat a little earlier to leave there by 5am.

First post says 6:00am meet time... someone determine a definitive time and lets all agree to be there then.
As for the food - since the poll may have been skewed (non participants voting), this thread seems to be leaning towards caterer... unless anyone adamantly objects, lets just go that route.
As for cost - I feel it's important that we get a commitment via funds in order to avoid canceling the caterer or getting stuck with more food and less money than necessary. If you guys want to PayPal me I'll take care of getting the food ordered and paid. With the current sign up we should be good with $10 per person. This won’t include drinks - we'll have to work that out separate.
If everyone agrees lets ink it. If someone has other thoughts/ideas, let’s hear 'em... we need to get this thing set so we can be more concerned about the cars and racing.
The most recent list I found is below… if you are reading this and are not on the list but plan to attend, please add your name. I will use this list if everyone agrees to the suggestion I listed above.
1) Hexx
2) OCG35
3) Klubbheads
4) WaLLy
5) Dsskyline
6) B L U E S L A T E
7) CandlestickPark
8) SmokeDriftR
9) Vlad's friend (07 Sedan 5AT)
10) Vlad's friend (07 TL-S 5at)
11) Vlad's friend (07 GTI dsg)

Yes 6-615 is the best time to get in line. Believe it or not close to 300 cars are there by 630!! Especially since this will be the 1st SL this yr and in the last 4 months.
I expect alot of people since CS is the only 1/4 mile track in So cal open to the public besides Famoso.
