Dec. 18th MIR Rental. Last one for 2010!

This will be the last big rental of the year at MIR. Hopefully the weather cooperates. It will be 9am to 5pm again and $100 to run and $10 to spectate again. Lets hope the weather cooperates, should be great DA!

For those of you that can't make it or want an additional day before season is over I am trying to put together a weekday rental as well. Small with about 5 cars. No set date for this yet.

Save time and money Sun, no need to go to the east coast to run your 10's. Come to Sac during January on a clean crisp sunny day and you'll get the DA needed. It's a very expensive venture to rely on the weather to give you what you're looking for. Just run where you run and have fun, you have nothing to prove.

Good luck guys!

LOL.... none taken Sun Everytime I try to time the event during the cold weather, we get some type of heat wave. It happened in January of 2009, January of 2010, and now December of 2010. Can you believe it was close to freakin 70 F yesterday. Why the heck is it 70 F in December

The funny part is that usually we see a high of 48 F here in December and I've monitored the weather 3 years in a row seeing the same result. But when it's time for a drag racing rental, the weather changes its mind and decides it's time for a 70 F day

Good luck to all you guys racing on the 18th and I hope you have better luck with the weather than we did

D/A was -1572 at 9AM yesterday. Probably the same today. Hopefully the same on the 18th.
