Any suggestions for a good camping spot for a trailer? Looking more for a party crowd than the family vacation setting.

We ended up renting a badass 4 bedroom house for less than the cost of a hotel. 2 nights was like 350 total.

I found it on vrbo.com. Just search for Clayton ga, there are a ton of cool rental houses a available for a decent price

Yea, if you have enough peeps, def a better deal. I found the days inn :D

Are you trailering your car and bringing your own E, or are there plenty of stations down that way that have it?

It's all a moot point if I cannot find another house sitter. Worthless FKn teenagers :rolleyes:

im going to drive it. Too many fun mountain roads up that way not to drive it

I would be very very surprised if you can find pump e85 up there. e85 fuelfinder says the closest pump is 80miles away. Ill be running on either q16 or vpImport, not sure yet. I know VP will be there so they can probably hook you up with e85 if you dont want to bring it

Will she be done by the race? At least it has a back window...lol.. I actually felt really bad when that happened.

I would say we should get a race in, but you will smoke me..

This is the part I hate about using E85

I'm not familiar with those other two fuels and willing to be I could not use them without recal'ing the tune. Looking forward to a great time up there regardless of bringing my car or not!!!

its looking like my tuner is going to have 2 fresh 55 gallon drums of e85 for the weekend so im sure we can work something out

edit: hes going to fill me a drum from him local pump. 3.09 a gallon and 82% ethanol. How much do you think you will need for the weekend?

yup. she will be done for a private dragstrip rental the wednesday before the event for some shakedown passes.

Im shooting for 195+ on the new build so hopefully i can pull it off. Car should be making right around 1200 at the wheels on e85

With that kind of power, you should be right around that speed. I wouldn't be surprised to see 200. This event is a little smoother than carrabelle in my opinion with a much longer shut down area. The only issue is its a little higher in elevation. I'm hoping for 165 with "only" having 700hp.

I think my wife and I just decided to take the Tahoe instead. I definitely appreciate the offer.

well, another great 1/2 mile event in the books. Fastest car for the weekend was a GTR @ 203, N/A was a corvette @ 169, and 4 door was a Audi @ 163. For myself, I put down 154 in the viper. I was hoping for 160, but it is what it is. If there is anyone on here that was there racing, I was the guy handing out the speed slips at the finish line. When next years events are announced, I will make a post so people can adjust their schedules as needed.

viperkris
09-16-2013, 08:38 PM
I have the red and white striped viper that was parked next to the timing tent at the finish line. I only ran a couple times because I was working the event and its not really fair to the participants to hold them up for employee runs (even though all the employees love cars and most of us have fast cars). I just ran my friends mustang (we have a rivalry) and the 09 red/black ACR viper.

I hope to see you next year. Words and video just don't give the event justice. You really have to be there.

Yeah, I have kinda been following all the crap with vca.

I still have the run flats in my garage. I'm not sure what I will do with them. The fronts are almost new, so might throw them on eBay or something. The rears are goin to be recycled or made into a cool garage shelf or something.
