VMP TRACK Rental w/Rocket Performance 04/04/08 Apr/02/2008 16:12  
Frank,
Looks like rain is in the forecast for the track day at VMP on 04/04. When will we know if they cancel it and who do we get our refund from if they do?

thanks,
James

here's the weather.com forecast for Petersburg. Looks like we'll have a good day until the afternoon.

Well, after waiting for 4 hours the track officials finally opened one lane. After that, everyone seemed to have a good time. Brent got the Audi down to a 12.3 and I finally got the 300 to 12.92 on the 22's. Not as fast as I would have liked, but I'll take it. Had a customer with an 08 Charger with a CAI and DTP tune trap at 110...good stuff. Another customer with a 06 Corvette that we installed a Head, cam, exhaust and tuned trapped at 118 on his first time ever drag racing...more good stuff.

Brent and I are trying to work out doing a track rental on our own, so if you think you might be interested, let us know.

Frank...
Yeah it was nice to finally get a chance to race. I was disappointed with my times. Couldn't get the GTP faster than a 12.68 @ 105mph. I did get up to 108mph but posted a 12.71. The Head Wind sure didn't help any and the track seemed to let go later in the day. I was hoping for 12.2's at least. Also couldn't get a 2 wheel burnout to save my life. That is the 1st time that has happened to me.

About the track rental...Rocket Performance said they will be doing a half day track rental for $50.00 since we only got to race 1/2 a day and 1 lane. Will the $100.00 that we put down for the 4th go towards that day as well. $50 for the 4th and $50 for the next time?

Rocket Performance phone number is 757-596-8768

from what i understand, there will be another track day and the cost will be $50 for anyone who did this past event. I guess you will need to deal with them directly about the next event and the date.

I will be contacting them. I honestly don't think it is fair to have to pay another $50 bucks for a 1/2 day track rental when we paid $100 for a full day and 2 lanes and got 1/2 of that.

Thanks for looking into it though.

I'm guessing the next one may be for a full day, both lanes. Not sure on this, give Sam or Rodney a call.
