NCC Drag Strip night?

[Jed]

I know in terms of motorpsorts events, the emphasis is primarily on autox and DE's, but how about a night at a drag strip. Mix it up a little and see what our cars do in a straight line. I know BMWs aren't drag machines, but it would be fun to do it.

Several of us go to Capitol once in awhile and I know Neil Simon wants to take his twin screw supercharged M Coupe out.

I know a few guys who have been considering this.

We need to find out if it's possible to rent a track so we don't have to wait around with the other 500 people on an open track night.

If you get there early enough this usually isn't a problem.

How early are we talking about?

Do you guys normally go up on a Friday?

Yes-we've gotten there at about 5 or 6 and gotten like 5-6 runs in less than 30 minutes. Even at 7, it is not too bad.

Maybe we can all meet up somewhere and then go as a group. Solidarity brotha!!!!

Then all go to Annapolis for dinner!

Yes, Friday nights are the test n' tunes.

I've only been once and I think I got around 12 runs. I could have had more if I felt like it.

Nicky wants to go to run her car too. I'll let her run it, and then I'll run it.

[Pete]

I'm down for a drag strip run.

Wow, most people I've talked to said they got maybe 3 or 4 runs the entire night. I guess they are going much later...

[Doby]

I had 7 runs in the first 30 minutes I was there last time.

[bren]

Ok, well now I definitely want to go....

[Doby]

Get there 15-20 minutes before they open and you're good to get at least 6 runs in the first 30 minutes.

[BahnBaum]

I'd definitely be up for this...

Maybe I'll run it with my Ecsta V700s...
