Plan on being there and running, trying it out as a newb...may get a friend in a centri-supercharged e36 bmw to join me...

I'm glad you are understanding. I guess we can give it a try
There usually isnt a guy at the tree, its run from the tower remember? There snt always someone down at the tree
Yea it was pretty fun, we will see what it does on the real dyno in a bout a week!
Cool!

Looks like somebody from the show "Pass Time" did a little teaser video for my brother's Elky. Hopefully he can make it this time.

How many people/cars going ? Can't wait.

Good luck everyone and I hope to see some of you guys in the 10's.

Ahmad, tear it brotha and send me a text after you make your 10.5 pass @ 132. What kind of DA will you be looking at? Hopefully you guys will get in the negative. Make sure to make a few passes in your buddies new E55 and get that thing into the 10's.

Why on a Friday? We'll see how the week is going, maybe i will take a half-day.

I'll be there...

weather looks clear in mid-60s (***knock on wood***) even though I know it is still early to get excited about clear weather.

Tony from Eurocharged is planning on coming... He may be staying with me for the weekend. He loves to drive so he may drive the 11hrs (yuck!) or he may fly...

Last time I talked to him he may fly into Newark then he and I will drive down early Friday morning...or just screw it and fly to BWI...

He and Jerry were in Houston all weekend tuning so I'll call him this week.

Still trying to find DRs to use for the day (I'd pay a bit for the use) and it looks like I may be the only SRT coming out... shame... but one of them owns his own shop and the other just started a new job recently... so I guess they can't get off work.

sweet ride. Any relation to thee Jim Dunn? of Jim Dunn racing NHRA fame.

Well, depends....

Yes, my father is Jim Dunn and was an NHRA pro racer. But, there were two Jim Dunn's of note. One was from the West Coast and one from East Coast. The more famous one is from the West Coast, and is not my father.


And just got a text from my brother. He will not be attending.

BUMP!!! Whos comin!!

I'm expecting around 25+ hopefully. I'm excited too. Made a shake down pass yesterday and the skinnies were rubbin really bad! Gonna try raising the car more or running on my d/r's
Thanks! Have a few things to sort out before then. I don't think I'm trappin 132 without nitrous lol Maybeee 130. Too early to tell the DA, I'm just crossing my fingers for no precip. Probably have to wait til late november early December to get the negative DA's. Its actually unusually warm here now
Because they have events on weekends. The next rental will be a saturday Dec. 5th when all the events are over.
Cool, see you two there!

Wow what a coincidence. Sorry for the threadjack. It was probably the west coast one that sponsored Al Hoffman in Funny Car? Still Dunn in NHRA circles is almost royalty, then there is Mike Dunn as well. Sounds like you have methanol in your veins.

Well you guys have a fun and safe event.
GO STEELERS!!

Was definitely very cool to be his son at the track. I got do such cool crap that other kids didn't get to do. I worked the water box at MIR as a kid and got to turn wrenches on alcohol funny cars.

He still holds the record for highest flip at 75/80 dragway. They won't even let you run cars with delay boxes and trans brakes there anymore, I don't believe.

bump looking forward to this!

Any deal on rain date protocol? How will we know if it's damp in the morning if the event is still on? etc...etc...

thanks

Don't JINX it

not jinxin anything bro...just don't wanna drive up there and find out if anything changes...having taken the time off and what not...

just asking if there's a way we can check that morning etc...just in case it is raining in the morning which in our area happens pretty often...I'm a hour and a half or so away from MIR...

There is a very strict protocol when it comes to rained out track days at MIR. Basically, you turn your *** around and drive straight to Camelot in DC, fall in love with someone named Raven, blow $400.00 on her, then go home and shoot off some knuckle children.

They have it documented on their site somewhere.

I shall be there, I miss the east coast can't wait to hang with you guys again. I will have my tuning equipment so anyone want a tune while im there please look for me or email me tony@eurocharged.com so we can figure out when and where.

-Tony

Camdon, cant wait to see your car run

Well you can check on here the morning of or just txt me. There is very little chance of rain from now til sunday so we should be good.

Nice! You will have fun at the track day
+ ***** effin 1!!!

QFT!!!

Can't wait... Gonna be a blast...

Except for the whole leaving at 4am (or earlier) to be there by 9am...

I am hoping you guys catch some good DA...it's always a blast going down to MIR, I am keeping fingers crossed for you all. Break some records and have fun above everything. I can't make it as I am saving my days for when the baby arrives. Enjoy!

Hey ZAHANMA,

If you're gonna quote me in your sig, (https://mbworld.org/forums/3768647-post102.html) your gonna have to paypal me $1.00 per thread that it appears in. I'll PM you my paypal info.

Thanks man

will be good to meet you and some other guys.

Not looking forward to my 4 hour ride myself. Might just trailer up since I have 4 or 5 guys and a Hayabusa that wants to come also.

Make sure the guy with the busa brings proper gear.

Weather looks like we arent going to get any precip but it will be a bit warm for this time of year
