When is the date going to be? Is it going to be on the weekend or weekday? I have a few others, if you need some more folks, who may be interested.
As for a time, it really depends on the mods you have. I think anything 1:13/14 is respectable for someone with 260-290whp on street tires. In my Evo, CW, I turned 1:13's pretty consistently, but the tires were weak, and the car was on stock suspension. For comparison, my buds 96Cobra, stock engine, but Maximum motorsport suspension can do low 1:14's, consistently. I have seen one Evo run a 1:09 from a standing start down there, and get way down below that at speed. The fastest I have been is around 1:08s in a friends Evo, which was @385-400whp range, on coil-overs. You may recognize his car, it has been in a few mags.......note links below.

I would like to set this up, i'll post some dates on monday.
As for the pricing, I think it'll be under $100 including a lunch or lunch-dinner.
let me do some figuring out.
I'm excited now! This is gonna be fun!
ok, the list
1. me
2. aras
3. nsx
4. veilside 350z
5. wrx wagon (possibly)
6. one other person (possibly)
7. Dragonfly5338
8. Richardhead
9. Richardhead
10. hutch959
11. Stop&TurnFreak
12. gadsmevo
13. gadsmevo friend
So I say we're looking at about 15 to 18 people, which is ideal.
Remember, we will basically rent out the track for ourselves, for 15 to 18 of us.
I think it'll be fun.
ok, i'll get my a ss to work on this.
