Will be leaving on 11/16 and staying overnight somewhere near the track. Taking 95 south from north NJ. No other plans for now. It's 2 months away.

Well will see how everything goes with business, the mods done to the car, and if that is the time that I will be taking down the E55 to Florida... If it all works out I would love to come that way and see what the old girl would run! How many people normally come to these events?

Well hopefully you can make it. I would expect 40+ cars at this event. Here are pics from one of the previous rentals

Nov 17th sounds good. I should be there in my 2012 ZL1 with a few minor mods. Nothing that fast...maybe 11.50 or so. Look forward to it!

You know they say MIR is the MIRacle track right..... Nice flat race track.....some of the best track prep you will see......88ft above sea level gives some very good DA..... Easy decision

Sounds good. My car just ran 11.19@124.2 here in Richmond. If the "nitrous air" of a mega negative DA is present at MIR, maybe a 10.99?? That is a fairly large jump so I would be satisfied with being allowed on the track as I got booted in Richmond for under 11.49 without a roll bar.

You have a ZL1 now?!? Nice! I can't wait to see you put it into the 10s.

I'm trying to make it. Car isn't even close to ready but I'll bring my work truck to see what a 8,000lb truck can do.
