Hey man! I hope you can make it! Have you been able to get that supra to hook up yet? I bet you will be deep into the 9s if you can get some traction.

PS, if you remember the guy who busted an axle on his white Z4, he has sold it and gotten a C32. He has put pulleys on it, and is looking to run some 12s. His dad is coming too with a 500RWHP Ford Lightning.

We cannot rent the track on a weekend. I have already requested the time off of work. You can get in 20 or more runs during the day, which you would NEVER be able to do on a test/tune night.

Its not really that expensive when you figure how many runs you get. You would normally pay $20 to get maybe 2-3 runs. With this you can run all day long if you want. Last time there were never more then 2 cars ready to stage at one time. I ran 15 times or so, and I did alot of chilling.

Here is the site:
http://www.mirdrag.com/

"From the D.C. Metropolitan Area, take the Beltway I-95 to exit 7A (Branch Avenue). South 30 miles to the traffic light at Route 234, then left 7 miles to MIR in Budds Creek, MD."

I'll see if I can find someone. Mind if I bring my bike too? I haven't been able to run it yet. Just wondering how it would do just casual riding 1/4mile.

2003 ZX-6R

The c32 should probably run pretty well too, it's starting to get cooler.

Bump!

If you are coming, but havent posted in this thread, please PM me so we can get an estimate of how many AMGs we will have there.

BTW, we have a guy who will be cooking on-site all day, so bring some hot-dogs, burgers, or your other favorite grill food.
