Official MIR Mercedes Shootout 11/17/12

Date changed to November 17!!

Since there is a little over two months left until the event I thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread with all the info.

MIR is Maryland International Raceway and is located in buds creek MD. It is regarded as one of the best tracks in the country with excellent track prep. The track is almost at sea level and Maryland weather in November is usually cold and the combo provides for great racing weather.

We will have both lanes reserved from 9am-5pm. One lane will be for drag radial and slick cars only as this will preserve the track prep in that lane. Street tires tear up the vht and would ruin the prep very quickly. The other lane will be open to all tires.

Cost will be $100/car and a suite in the tower will be opened to keep warm with a great view of the track. Please keep the suite clean as this is a courtesy provided to us.

The event will be opened to other nice cars as well and will be fun to watch. If you've ever been to one of my previous rentals you know what kind of cars show up.

There will be many fast benzes in attendance and will hopefully see some records!

Two months left so get your rides modded up and ready to go!!!

I am debating whether to run in California on 10/11 at a half mile airport shootout. If I don't run this I will look towards the MIR event providing I get an invite!

I wouldn't want to show up if I wasn't invited...but again it is improbable I will be there as Luke owes me a dinner out west.
