MIR 3/23/09 Rental LAST TRY!

So the weather hasn't been cooperating with us to get a rental going but here is my last attempt at a rental in March before it starts to get too warm. There will be a big two lane rental Monday March 23rd. This gives enough advance notice for people to get off of work.

Secondly, for the hardcore racers I am considering doing a single lane rental this friday March 6th. If you are interested in this please let me know asap so I can call and reserve the track. Only need ~10 people for this option.

Sorry for all the back and forth confusion.

I am in for Friday. What are they doing about the 9"s of snow? Is it contingent on the snow melting by then?

Doh! I was hoping you could. It will probably rain again anyway

Cool. Yes the snow would need to melt. I talked to Jason at MIR a second ago and he said there is still snow on the track but he pushed it around with the tractor yesterday and will try again today. Supposed to be sunny from now til friday so lets hope it melts! A High of 50 tomorrow and sunny will help.

Everything on my end is 100% sure. I wish I could predict if the snow will have melted or not but I can't tell, sorry. I understand how frustrating it is being in your position and I wish I could do something about it

Morning update:

There is still snow at the track as of now. Left lane is clear and worst case scenario is we will have to make a run and then come back down the track to staging lanes. We would have to wait for each car to come all the way back before the next run. That is the WORST case scenario. We should get plenty of snow melted today and tonight due to the high temps and sunny during the day. In other words we are running tomorrow!

Pics as of this morning. Left pic is the track. Right pic is return lane
