Did you say there will be another track rental day in December? I will have to miss the one is September because I will be in Munich for Oktoberfest. I can't wait to get out there and try out my beast!

Quick list of those who have said they are coming or might be coming. Because of the large number of people attending, MIR will be collecting the cash at the gate. Also, future events may be capped depending on how the car flow is at this rental. I don't want people paying $100 and waiting in lines to run. MIR says they have had 100 cars before without any flow problems so I guess we will see. If I have to set a cap for future events I will take prepayments through paypal and be based on a first come first serve basis. Lets hope for some good weather!

How does 100% sound? As long as you have a helmet. This particular event wont be capped. Future ones may be. MIR will be collecting the cash at the gate this time since I dont want to spend half the day running around collecting money like I usually do

Don't worry about it for this event, only future ones if we end up not liking the number of cars. MIR tells me 100 cars will flow fine but we will be able to tell for ourselves and estimate how many cars it should be capped off at. I've never had an issue of too many cars before, guess word travels fast. There should be someone at the gate collecting the money from those who want to run to make things work more smoothly. People dont have to come find me and I dont have to keep track of who paid and can actually run my car lol

Nice! Duc's are badass! Pretty far, it is in Mechanicsville, MD which is deep south MD. 76 miles from Bmore and 52 miles from CP according to googlemaps. I just entered cities and not exact addresses so it is just an estimate

Put me down as a 100% lock to be there!

Oh, and I'll be gunning for the #1 overall SL600 record, and I'm gonna do it on 20" streets! Well, I doubt we'll have the D/A for it this time out, but I only need .16 off my personal best.

Let's just say, this has been mailed out for a massage. And no, that's not an ECU.

That money was gone loooooooooong time ago. You've met my wife. What in our recent history together leads you to believe that she doesn't get everything she wants? You think I could keep her for 12 years with my wit and charm? OH, I know! It's my 60' times that gets her all steamy. Yeah, that's probably it.

That is pretty easy to calculate. 1.56 * 1/8 mile is a good guestimate. An E55 runs better back half than a typical NA car so 12.2 or so is a about right. Good air and you might squeak 11.99!
