Ladies and gentlemen,
It is this time of year again.... I have reserved Famoso Raceway 1/4 mile drag strip on November 21st for our exclusive use. We will have both lanes available to us as well as full use of the entire facility including the barbecue grills :D. The track is normally closed from September to February except for a few exceptions.... but I was lucky enough to convince the owner to grant us an opportunity for a private event [cool].
Last time the event was limited to 35 cars (not including the 3 different waiting lists); this time, we will open the event up to a few more cars based on demand. Spots will be given on a first-sign-up-first-serve-basis, so please don't add your name unless you know for sure that you will be attending, as I would like to try and get an accurate count this time.
The payment per car has just been determined.... it will be $200 + $6 PayPal fee = $206 per car. Yes, I know.... Famoso (unfortunately) is one of the expensive tracks. But remember, this is a private event. So there will be virtually no waiting at the staging lines and you can run unlimited times. Last time out, I made 34 passes in my car. I got to practice different launch techniques, shifting, etc.... Please note that payment should be submitted no later than November 15th, as I have to meet with the owner on November 16th to give him payment, a list of participants, and finalize a few things.
Now for the good news.....
During regular months when Famoso is available to the public, the weather is terrible for racing: it gets way too hot and way too humid. In November, however, the weather is much cooler and so we'll have better DA and better chance of good times. Instead of trying to race very early in the morning (to get optimum conditions), we will start later in the day and stop 1 to 2 hour AFTER sunset (depending on conditions of course). At Famoso, right after sunset, temps drop very fast and so does DA..... hopefully with very low temps and really good DA, we'll get an awesome day of racing :)
