I just asked him tonight at Starbucks about coming out to the track...Lets just say he probably won't go, knowing Andy. He'll go to the canyons any day of the week, but the track...

It's a 1/4 mile. If you need help an pointers, I'm always there to help. I've already helped out more than a handful of members in SD this year alone.
Sweet, I've dragged my Stang GT a few times but that was a whole different beast...
Would need to learn launch RPMs and Shift Points for the G....do we get to the top of 4th by the end of the 1/4?

You'll be at the upper end of 4th by the end of the 1/4.
Gates open at 6:00, I think tech inspection starts at 7:00 and racing at 8:00 or 9:00 (not sure these days)... I suggest we all agree to meet just inside main gate between 6:00 and 6:30... for those that have never been, the main gate is off Cherry (north of I-10) when you enter main gate you turn right through a giant parking lot to the line (8 lanes or so)... we should meet jut inside the main gate right at the beginning of the giant parking lot - there is plenty of space to the right to pull over and park and wait for everyone. Typically we have a cut-off time (meaning we wont wait for anyone after a certain time)...
If anyone has other/better suggestions, post-up ~
we need to pick a day, because I have to clear my schedule! But seriously we all need to be there at 6am, and set up everything!!!!! Bring Sunscreen!!! Water, and FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep your car light and about a 1/4 of a tank of gas!

for the sake of dialing in a date - copy/paste the list and put your preferred date next to name... I seriously dont care which date, but I'm putting the 20th just in case it rains we fall back on the 4th...
Whatever date has most preference is the date we ink.
btw, I'll probably get a can of MS105 (race gas) - they come in 5 gal cans and I only need half - if anyone wants to split it let me know. It wont do you much good unless youre tuned for race gas... can is sealed and will remain that way till I get to track - I have a gas funnel, its easy to fill... it usually runs about $60 (so if you want to split it we each pay half)

Marcus, clear your inbox! I was PMing this, but your box is full so I'm posting here and will link you in a thread I know you're in...

Hey Marcus, thought I'd let you know we are setting up drag day in Fontana... might be a good opportunity for cool action shots: https://g35driver.com/forums/souther...0-dec-4-a.html
Maybe you could offer the pics for sell to owners... When I ran the Roval (road course through speed ventures) there was a guy taking hi res pics... he posts the pics on his website with watermark (or whatever its called) so people can browse them and pick which ones they like - then order the pics without the image impaired. I forget how much he charged per pic but I can look it up it you want reference.
It would be fun to have you join us (with or without the camera)
