Nice pics...didn't see one intended pic of mine though...there was one when he was focusing on the white supra in the near lane and I was on the far lane, then another one with a few other cars in the paddock area...

Will be there again. Hopefully can stay in one piece this time. MIR has to be the best hooking track I have ever been to. Thier prep is unreal.
Hopefully we can have the track to ourselves and no old POS hot rods to oil the track down this time.
Will bring the car and the bike. Can't wait.
Thanks for putting this on again. I have done plenty of track rentals myself and know it is a pain in the A-- to organize.

Glad to hear you are joining, now if we can get a few more SRTs to represent with the MBs. I'm hoping to get Jeff Croy and his 10s SRT6 out there...

Alright guys, we are going to keep street tire cars to one lane and drag radial/slicks to the other lane like we did last time. The drag radial/slick cars can use both lanes if they like. The reason we do this is because street tire cars tear up the track prep. It worked out well. The street tire lane will be prepped to the 330' (thats plenty of VHT!) and I just got word that the slick/drag radial lane will be prepped the full 1/4 mile!

Are there still spots open? Still on the fence as to whether I'll be participating (never done it before) but I'm definitely coming out to watch - is there a deadline to letting you guys know or can I make a last minute decision?

Please tell me Full Throttless and his CLS 55 are attending.
Ahmad I will put up some jack if you can get this clown to race. I am 1000% confident even my CLS 63 would bury him.
Thanks in advance

there is no limit on the number of people... you can come and get plenty of runs. i'll leave it to ahmad to discuss the deadline, though i don't think there is a deadline from what he is saying...just pay when you get there.

No this is a recent pic, I took this pic of Clayton at the last track day
I can only imagine hes a smart guy and knows that his Mercedes is not in a class of speed as the others that will be represented at MIR. Anyone can make a Supra fast but it takes a bit more skill, money and patience to make a Benz fast, especially one that breaks records.
