No prepay. Come find me to pay the $100. Cash only. I collect all the money and then give it to MIR. That way they have someone to hold accountable if money comes up short


Well its the friday of.
Perfect.. I'll try to be there. I found a video of the last MIR track day I went to from 06... I'm in the black C32:

Hoping for much better times in the Lightning this time around.

Sorry Ilya. I can only plan them on the weekends during offseason and they always seem to get rain/snowed out when I do! MIR has events every weekend during the race season so it can't be rented

BTW, here is my car at 20psi on pretty much a break in file running Pun1shers E55. He hit it right as I was starting to build boost.
Haha..yes, we will have to get together sometime. Your S4 looks to be a BEAST!

I'm excited to see what my new setup will do. I'm hoping for nice cool, dry air!

03 C32 AMG Blk/Blk
Got a couple runs in this saturday.

Ran best of 11.74 @ 114 on my 2nd run of the day on low boost/low timing combo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU-PqDySR1U

Will be throwing on the high boost pulley's and more timing this week.. Hoping for low 11's, high 10's.

The run above was with the truck weighing in at 4935 w/ driver. Should drop a few hundred pounds before friday removing the tow hitch and spare tire setup.

See you all there!

I'm rooting for a Kleemann victory in the number #1 spot on Dragtimes. Run Nitrous if you have to but just do it!

I gotta say that block of yours must be diamond coated.

Just a bit more boost, new intake, and retune.

I'm not going to run nitrous. It will be too hot for any records to be broken. I guess that means you aren't coming.

Yup, I had it sent to Dubai for the diamond coating. Came with free platinum ring lands and pistons made of unobtanium. I killed wolverine and used the adamantium for the rods.

Is it safe to assume that the Race Gas will be available at the pump since it is a weekday?

Yup. I am going to buy another SD card so you can take it home and play with your runs on the desktop software.

Cool, I am going to be there tomorrow. Can we enter at anytime or do we have to be there right at 9? Not sure I can make it through beltway traffic until after.

Cool. You can come anytime between 830 and 5. You just go into the office building to sign the waiver and they will open the gate for you
