Yeah... I was just wondering if everyone was meeting up outside prior to entering since Ted original post had a couple of meeting points then says meet at Irwindale at 5:00... was we're inside it's not likely that we will be in line near each other unless we roll in together. I don’t know how crowded it will be….

Best ET was 15.000 a little over 94mph... The altitude kills us! It's 2700 feet above sea level!!!

Had a great time though! Followed Ted through the canyon up Angeles Crest Hwy - great drive! At the track there were three G's - me, Ted, and a coupe (sorry man, I forgot your name) and a couple of Z's (one was from My350Z.com, I didn’t have a chance to talk to the others). Ted and I were running the fastest of the VQ's - I think Ted's best ET was 15.17... he got second in the bracket race - Congrats again Ted, even though you knocked me out of it!

It was a lot of fun - wish more of you guys would have shown... hope to see you tonight. It will be fun being closer to sea level even though it's only 1/8 mile... it will more accurate for real world driving conditions since I'm normally no more than 200 feet above sea level.

See you guys tonight!

Yep. Air temp and altitude bogs us down... I think we should start a fund to open our own racetrack... maybe at the Carson (potential NFL stadium site) or previous El Toro Air Force Base - coastal climate almost at sea level!!! Woo Hoo!!! How much reserve do you have in the Team Transport funds Ted?

True... but it's better than the airport that almost went in. Are we meeting in the track tonight or somewhere before hand?...

damn it, on my last run, my launch was better, but i still only managed a 9.48. i know i can get my launches better. i also think that i need to get my chip retuned by TS. I think I am knocking up top and that is hindering my times. =(
