It has been wayyyyyy too long!!! Ahmad has setup a track day at MIR on Friday, October 7th. Hours are 9am-5pm and lanes will be split so if you have drag radials or slicks bring them! One lane drag radial/slick and one 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 the VHT. Price will be $100/car. Gates open at 8:30AM. Fingers crossed for some seriously good weather!

Not around MIR, unless you want to stay with Darryl and Darryl at Billy Bob's Chicken Farm.

Stoked to see your car run Jody!

I live in the Germantown area. There are several places off of 270 on the north side to stay with restaurants nearby. On the south there is National Harbor. Lots of places in there. I'll plan to be there for sure.

Only 2 MBs there today! Me and Motorkas. I ran 11.20s all day, leaving off idle, and cutting 1.73-1.76 60s. I finally grew a sack and loaded up the converter for my last run after hotlapping. Ripped off a 1.67 60', but my IATs were in the 160s at launch. She pulled timing the whole way....

Next time.....


And BTs car is quietly becoming very fast!

Ok - It's been well documented how much I love your "exhaust sound" but that vid pretty much captures what it sounds like and if I didn't like women as much as I do, I'd just replay that over and over again just to hear the "blips" of the throttle

Great vid btw - love watching the G8 come into view
