Let us know what time on May 9th the race is. I am always looking for a reason to go for a drive, and a trip to Cayuga sounds like fun.

I actually saw my first 'live' IS-F in downtown Oakville yesterday parked on main street. It had tints and looked pretty mean, but the exhaust does look a little off. I parked a few cars behind it and I couldn't help going to check it out and comparing it to the M3.

My take is that it is not a bad looking sedan, but I'd take the M3 first, or even a C63 if I was looking for a 4 door. I guess there is no for the Toyota, even BMW managed to steal 2nd from them at the Malaysia GP.

I wish I could come and see this but Saturdays are never good for me. Please take lots of video tape, even in car cameras if you can.

I respect both cars but I am leaning more towards the M3.

They are actually talking about drag racing at a race track - not on the streets. Cayuga speedway.

Yep, I see that, but it sounds like there is also some kind of straight line test, and it also sounded like that might take place on the street? Sorry if I misread that and the straight line test will be done on a drag strip. Someone reported this thread and expressed concern over this. I don't mean to spoil the track/drag strip discussion at all...

Knowing Gearhead999s - there wont be any racing on the streets. I believe the format was to be a 2 day thing. First was a drag race at the drag strip at cayuga, followed by a track day. Both are experienced at the track. I know a group of us plan on going out to the track to watch.

But your point is well taken Lucid - No street racing (let alone discussions!)

Yep, based on his posts in the track section, he sure sounds like he's been around and cares a great deal about safety. A valued forum member. I just needed to act on the report. Again, sorry that I misread the sitaution and have fun!

The "Dunky" sets the stage for this one as an invasive and persistent mental image. I am subscribed!
