Exclamation VA/MD Drag Day @ MIR

On Monday April 4thth some of my old WRX/STi buddies will be renting a lane at MIR in Budd's Creek Maryland. Cost for renting the track is $1200 per lane. If we get sixteen people(already do), that will be around $75. If we can get another 16 people we can have both lanes all day, so we can do some side-by-side racing.

Right now we are looking at having tuners from Crucial Racing Systems, Millinnium Autosport, Element Tuning, Curry's Auto, and AR Fabrication. We will have at least one BMW, one AMG(me) a couple Grand Nationals, several WRX/STis, and some other fast imports built by ARFabrication. Should be easy to get lots of runs, without the ricers (well some of the cars may be ricey, but they are fast).

If you are interested in going post here and I will point the coordinator to this thread to get confirmation.

Here is a link to MIR's site: http://www.mirdrag.com/

I'd be in. I live in Bowie, MD and my brother lives up in Hughesville near the track so I'm all for it.

I would love to test my car out 1/4mile w/ pullies and chip.

Ok, here is the deal. The first 32 cars get in for $80, all others must pay $100. It looks like we will have both lanes.

Hey guys! Aaron is right about everything so far. Track Rental for anyone. We have a deposit on both lanes for March 28th. The track will be open for use from 9:00-5:00, but get there early to sign up, get car numbered, etc. We will have lunch at 12:30, I will bring a grill, skillet, tables, etc. Anyone who comes should chip in on something, like drinks, meat, side dishes, etc.
There will be a few guys with plenty of tools, jacks, and I will tow anyone home on a trailer who breaks. Come on and join the fun. click on the link above to put your name on the list, and to read all other garbage.

Like Aaron, I had a C-32, fun car.

track is www.MIRdrag.com

Jason is in charge if you call MIR with questions.

I'm at turbo2nr@comcast.net

Thanks,
Scott

Saw your link to this in the C32 forum... I don't see where or how to pre-register... Is it the first 32 at the gate or pre-reg'd?

How do I pre-reg? If I can... you ignoring me cause I am a 4-banner?

Ah, this is going to be the full course. Don't know if I will hit in in the patriot. I am excited about that back stright. I don't have the chip yet so I'll be limited to 130, but from what I understand will hit it for sure. I most likely am going to crew for my friend's spec miata during the sprint and enduro too. Good learning weekend.

See you at the drags then.
Tom

I didn't get to send my check in however I hope I can still pay at the gate? Please let me know. I am getting my car back friday/saturday and will be putting the pullies back on, so I want to see what I can run.

Let me know if I can pay at the gate.

Appreciate it,
-Mike

Perfect, I'll get my pulleys on and make a run monday. Will be nice to meet all you guys. Hope the car runs okay with pulleys and no software, won't have time to get it programmed before monday. But you say yours runs fine, so we'll see..

I just got my Stage 2 reflash back. The car is much smoother with the powerchip flash. I highly reccomend it.

No sputtering problems or any other issues at high/low or takeoff's with no software with the pulleys on through right?
