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!

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

continuing ed....needed plugs and a retune but still trapping 120+ :buttrock
GT35r ftw

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.
