MIR Track Rental Sept 17th 2010

It is about that time again to get the track rentals started. I just booked both lanes at MIR from 9am to 5pm on September 17th (Friday ). You all ready for some racing??? Cost is $100/car as usual and hopefully we get some good weather. It is over amonth away so I'm hoping it cools off quite a bit by then

Charlie, if I didn't know any better, I would have sworn you were posting at 4:20pm because I know you wouldn't be making a statement like that unless some mind altering substances were involved. . .

Discaimer: Charlie is a fine, law-abiding citizen and my attempt at humor in no way implies that he knows what "4:20" means in the literal sense. That being said. . . he must be high if he thinks he's taking my $5.00. . .

10's are starting to get boring around here (with everyone running them CEPT ME OF COURSE ), we need to start a new contest as to who can pull the front tires up first.

FOR REAL..not kiddin. With this much power and Ahmads 60fts, those things (or at least one) gotta be real close to coming up no?

Not expecting this of course.

Maybe I'll get a TCU tune and trot my *** on out to this. I've got my car pretty dialed in right now. Don't think she's got any more than the 11.40 I've gotten out of her so far. But a TCU tune may shave a tenth or two....

Decisions, decisions....

There will be more rentals before the season is up. Come for the December weekend rental! That should have amazing DA and great assortment of cars!

Almost doesn't cut it hehe. I surprise alot of people but I still get my *** handed to me sometimes. I got killed by a subie the last time I went to the track. Then again my car was nowhere near its peak performance! The subie would have beat me anyway though. Any time I see a full cage, net, and 4 drag radials I know it has to be serious!

Haha yea probably. Unless it's an axle because then I can swap it at the track. How many times have you seen a benz owner wrenching on his/her car at the track? lol

Yea you do have it dialed in pretty well but as the DA goes down so should your ET

Cash at the track works great. Then I can just hand off the money and not worry about refunds etc
