I was in the process of doing that myself when the thread got closed. He wants to talk about Blackbenzz not coming down there well here's his invite and all the Renntech cars too. If they need directions for the closest nitrous refill location I can hook them up too.

Those Texas *******s nearly killed me.


You know it's gonna be a bad weekend, when you get left at the airport, because the guy picking you up has his house almost burn down.

Amhad, how about putting out the MIR track rental schedule (for the year), so we can plan in advance?

Same thing i was thinking. Sure isn't going to be record setting weather but i think we can still get it done. You should come early and get that thing cooler down real good before you make any runs. I'm going to bring a generator this time i think and a couple of fans.

FYI....

I just saw Jason Miller post on a forum that this Friday is an open rental, not a private rental.

Friday, March 23: Open Track Rental at MIR

This Friday, March 23rd there will be an open track rental from 9am-5pm. Cost is $100 per car or bike to test.

If you would like to participate just show up on Friday and you can pay your $100 at the track.

If you need race fuel, get to the track early as it will only be open for a short period in the morning.

Bring your own food or grills as the concession stand will not be open.

The restrooms will be open for everyone to use.

This will be a 2-lane rental so cars can race side by side.

Any other questions please email at jmiller@mirdrag.com
Looks like Friday might be the warmest day of the week.....
