Official MIR 3/23/09 Media thread

hey guys,
figured starting this thread would keep the other thread less cluttered.

Please post your pics and videos here!

great meeting a lot of you and hanging out at Outback after.

here we go, let me know if anyone wants better copies of these pics. These are unedited and untouched, I can make them look A LOT better w/ a little time.

and please correct me on any of the commentary or times.

================================================== ===

Had a great time today down at MIR in Mechanicsville, MD. Great weather, good friends, and fast cars!

I'll try and give you all a litte rundown of the cars there, but its getting late i'm 6 90 minute IPA's deep at this point.


On the way down, I was riding in Brian's vette, Adam in his 335 running procede V2, dual cones, and straight 104 octane race gas. Adams vette is an LS3 w vararam intake and ported throttle body. Adam was alone. I weigh 190lbs or so.

Adams car w this setup is a verified 116mph car

Adam got the jump and Brian quickly reeled him in.......started around 60mph and ended around 120mph in 4th in the vette. LS3 FTW!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQMlU_SHBps


Adam in his 335



In Brian's LS3 vette, Clay in his e500 behind us



Clay and Adam on 495








1st breakage of the day, Brian lost his linkage shifting hard into 3rd, not sure how, his car only has 8k on the odometer. After much trial and error we determined he still had 4th and 6th, he limped home in the afternoon over 1.5 hours through traffic w/ only those 2 gears!!!! Best of luck man....sorry that happened. He was there only to spectate, not even to run....









Blackbenzz's beast of a CLK55...more on this one later!









Jamie's brand new 100 mile on the clock Viper......more on this guy later too











Don't mess with this car....you've been warned

Dont judge a book by its cover, this old school Jetta was putting down 650whp, just in the works for a respray




umm.....get new tires man











the GT-R contingent is showing up! :eyecrazy

some w/ tunes and intakes, others stock



continuing ed....needed plugs and a retune but still trapping 120+ :buttrock

The ultimate sleeper....would you guess mid 11's? I wouldnt











dual purpose ice



the ultimate weight reduction



thats right.....5 new GT-R's at one drag strip. This why I will travel to MIR even when I dont have a car to run :alright. The cars at the private track rentals are just sick sick sick.







Jamie lining up for his 1st run....took a little while and probably 30 runs but he hit his goal....

ran a 10.92 bone stock!




Z06 stock on R comps......:buttrock











Adam (Clem on e90post) lining up


squatting the rear on one of his many runs where he just flat out couldnt launch.....turns out General's + high hp = fail on the drag strip, but he did put down a few good ones.

his car only had Procede V2 (an old tune nowadays), 104, dual cone intake and he hit 12.34 at 116.1mph w a 6 speed.....good driving man :buttrock




Sick e63 AMG w tuning

All I have to say is that we had a BLAST!!!! A LOT of fast cars and records broke. THE BEST $100 I HAVE EVER SPENT!!!! My GTR ran a 10.91 @ 127.93. I know I can get down to mid 10's. I was running out of fuel on the car. We will see what happens next time.

CONGRATS to all the record breakers!!!!!!

Thanks for all the photos.

Nope, just one. The other was an E55 with an E63 kit. Then there was my E500 with E55 front and E63 rear. WTF is wrong with me?

I'll post my pics tomorrow. More of the same.....
