Track day at MIR(Maryland) March 1st--anyone?

My buddy has organized a track day for March 1 at MIR which is Maryland International Raceway in Budds Creek, Maryland. We have a few spots open if there is anyone that wants to go. $100 per person for all day track runs. Only between 8 and 12 cars are going.

Wow! That was fast. E-mail me direct at ssselden@aol.com. There is a rain date of March 8 if March 1 weather doesn't look good. You can paypal me the money to confirm your interest as my bud has to have payment in advance.

We can do either 8 or 12 cars at $100 each. There are 5 confirmed people at this point. Paying your $100 now guarantees your spot.

My friend with a 996whp 328i is most likely in as well. I told him about this 2 days ago and he wanted to come.

O.K....everyone that is officially in must pay $100 to my paypal account at ssselden@aol.com to save your spot. If you decide at the last minute and just show up you will be a spectator. I'm not trying to be difficult but this must be prepaid ASAP to confirm your spot. There are 7 confirmed with 9 more spots possible. Thanks

Great...now there are 8 confirmed people for March 1. Anyone else? Let me know soon. E55 baller should be pretty stout considering his mods...that will be a great car to see at MIR.

Yeah I want to know how fast it will go too...no idea...11.9 ... 11.5 ... maybe 11.3 if VERY lucky... hopefully between 122-125mph. I will have PS2s though...no drag radials unfortuantely.

I need to get my Evo cooling system looked at AGAIN. IATs are at +35-40 F ambient...they should be +15F max...I am SICK of the problems with this cooling kit and thank god I have an IAT meter for diagnostics.

I'd also like to run 6 tests w/ proper time in between:

Cut outs - closed, partially open, wide open
Methly - off, on and then H20.

E55baller- If I can make it out to this thing We can swap rear wheels for a few passes. I dont have anything special, just some Toyo RA1's but they stick. MIR hooks like crazy at rentals! I ran my best pass there, back to back 11.7s. You should be mid to low 11's easy! I'm waiting to see how much court sets me back tomorrow before I register.

Sweet, I really appreciate it. It would be a shame to run a 1.9 60-foot or something on my PS2s.
