Okay guys we're gonna have some stellar cars there! I figured I'd post here about the details, because this is a perfect forum that respresents many great cars!

Location:

Famoso Raceway is located in Bakersfield CA. it's approx 635' above sea level and is the best track, besides Sacremento raceway to get some optimal ET's and traps. You turbo guys still have the advantage. It is a test and tune run, not "streetlegals" only so we should get a good amount of runs in, but you never know how many cars will show, regardless will get some runs and the caravan up is half the fun.

i can't make it. i have to go out of town on last minute notice.
i know, i know..i am running out of excuses


hopefully next time you guys go i will have the GIAC chip or maybe even k24s

 

Damn it!!! That sux. Next time Bro!

 

Cant wait to go, hopefully we do get a good amount of runs in.

 

Hope so Bro! Glad you're gonna make it out! Any chance Aram might go too?

 

He was down but his car has been acting up so hes going to take it in. So it depends on what the problem is and how long itll take to fix...

 

I will try to go. 996 is currently in the body shop. If I don't get it back in time, then I may have to run an Enterprise Rent-A-Car against the 996TT.

 

can't wait....this will be a blast....which 996TTs are joining us?

 

K I think were going to end up meeting at the Burbank Albertson's parking lot on Glenoaks blvd. and Allen street at around 5 - 6 am. The 5 freeway is right next to it... I will try to get exact addresses for everything shortly.

 

Allen that sounds good, There's a stage 3 M3 that wants to go to as well, really cool cat. We're going to meet a few others at the Denny's restraunt off the 5 freeway right before magic mountain at around 6am or so. Call me everyone.

 

The 996TT bugged out. Thanks alot Drew!


Here's a map of the Denny's location, we're meeting there between 5:45 - 6am!!!

Sounds good i guess will meet you guys up ther then

 

any vids guys?

 

Had a great time hanging with the M3 guys because only one other Porsche owner (997S) showed up. The 997S ran a great time and so did a chipped 335. Unfortunately, the entire world showed up at the track by mid-day and it was tough getting runs in after lunch time.

Props to Drew for organizing, it was great meeting all the other German car owners and caravaning on the freeway. I had more fun in the caravan than I did in the quarter mile.

I botched my launch because I couldn't hear my car. Next time, I'll have a respectable time slip to post.

 

sounds like fun. any get togethers or drag days coming up soon?
