I wanted my GF to come but she is a teacher and they dont have off, since Iam in the jewelry biz your wife is now required to come just teasin, let her know that it can get very boring at times, sometimes lots of standing around waiting for cars to cool off, if she is ADD like me and needs constant stimuli you might think twice, but if she just might enjoy it, let her run the beast a few times and maybe she will ask you to go more

Ahmad, I don't know if I'll have anything to race - my buddy may take my spot and I'll be taking pics for the day. He's got a sprayed 383 LT1 in a 78 Datsun 280Z. 10.4s on the giggle gas.

My car is taking longer than anticipated and I don't want to rush the build. My garage is just a huge pile of parts

I have a feeling if we MAN-UP and bring our chickies, you'll see more join in.

Anyone else interested or just me and Jody? If not, no biggie. My wife could have fun at an insurance seminar. She's a trip.

I am still trying to get my friend with the stock CL600 to commit. He has never been to a drag strip and is intimidated by the idea of it. BTW...are the runs single lane time runs only or side by side action? Sometimes Jason at MIR is in a good mood and wants to see more action and he allows side by side runs.

I asked for heads up racing when I rented the track and he said ok to it.

guys: Are there any MIR rules we need to be aware of ahead of time? I.e. pre-day tech inspection on the car? Special clothing requirements? Medical forms? Numbering required on the car? Can we have a guest riding shotgun/backseat?

Thanks
