I talked to MIR and they said in order to get the $100/car price for an offseason weekend rental they have to charge $10 for spectators

I'm pretty sure what you meant was, you know 3 strippers who weigh a collective 350 lbs. Hopefully they're at least 5'6" or else they might be a little thick

That's a first. Last few times no charge. Is it a private rental for Mercedes? Times I've gone it was domestic and imports from all over

This would be the best time to learn! No lines and lots of practice along with a friendly environment of drag racing vets who can give you some pointers and show you the ropes.

It isn't the first time. I've pushed hard against it for a while but in the end that's not in my control. There aren't enough Benzes to make the minimum number they want for a weekend rental (40) so it is open to different cars as usual. If we can get over 40 then yesy I can make it exclusively Mercedes with the exception of a few friends.

With all the work Ahmad puts in to set these things up, deal with his own car at the same time, and trying to coordinate everything while making everyone happy, 10 bucks is a pittance. Anyone that wants to come but can't afford the $10, come see me at the track. I'll reimburse you.

Stephen, a heads-up run with that ZL-1 would be a treat!

Where have you been hiding man?? Thanks for the props It's much easier to handle coordinating when I'm not running my car but it gets crazy when I'm trying to run as well. $10 really isn't much when you consider it costs more than that to go watch a test and tune lol

The very best mod is no mod at all.

Once you start, it will never end. One mod requires another mod and so on.
