Well MIR is in the middle of nowhere. There are some motels there but the nicer hotels are closer to DC

Sorry I should have given a better description. It is a 1/4 mile track that is usually well prepped and at low elevation. Their site is www.mirdrag.com There are always a nice group of cars/people at these rentals.

Is this a C63 only list? Cuz there a bunch of other cars coming too. I'm hoping not too many! Too many street tire cars kills the track prep. I talked to the owners about the track not being its usual self and they said they prepped it 8 times that day!

Said they tried their best but all the street tire cars tore up the vht everytime they put it down. Spinning tires hard off the line and just rippin it all up ughhh. Drag radials and slicks actually lay down rubber instead of pulling up the prep

Yea I was thinking about doing one lane for street tire only like we have done a few times in the past but I don't want people to get pissed off lol. It is an option though.

Haha, hope she gives the ok!

I don't care.. won't make much difference to me which side I am on... Unless there is some super secret magical properties of the other lane to make my car go faster.. then I might complain

Good

Lol there is no super secret magic in one lane

That's the plan for now. Street tires in one lane and drag radial/slicks in either
