MIR Track Rental Friday 2/18/11

The tracks start to open back up the end of Feb and early March around here and people have been asking me to do another track rental before the weather starts to warm up. We are targeting Friday Feb. 18th Same hours 9am-5pm and we will split lanes again so if you have drag radials or slicks bring them! 1 lane drag radial/slick and 1 lane street tires. If you have drag radials or slicks you can run either lane. This is done to preserve the track prep in one lane since street tires tear up all the VHT. Price will be $100/car as usual and same hours 9am-5pm. Gates open at 8:30AM. Lets hope for some good weather!

Congrats on the sale! It may still be too cold for the bikes but would be good to hang out again

Good lord! Has it even been 72 hours since the last one?

Can you ask Jason to look for my video camera at the top of the pits, or in the porta-potty (don't ask)

He won't return my texts.

If I see Jeremy for a custom tune, I'm most likely in.

That 60' might of been more luck than skill but the last track day i had a 1.69 too so maybe i got the touch lol. Can't wait to test it out to see what it does. I need to get it tuned bad now so i'm keeping my fingers crossed Jeremy makes it here Jan 20-21.

I just talked to the track and there is 0 snow there right now. Hopefully it stays that way

AND he said he will stay on prep all day in both lanes to make sure track is fast!

Wow a week away already!!! New guy to the forum and I'm hoping to make it assuming work and weather all work together. Is there "A Hotel" that people normally stay? It would be nice to get out of town and take the car out from its winter hibernation.

Anyone staying in the DC area Thursday night??? I'm leaving from NY late picking up a friend from the airport and finally getting down to DC. for the night. It would be nice to roll in (to the track)with other cars. Still have not booked a hotel. Any other out of towners in for the weekend? Any locals have suggestions?
