1/4 Mile Mercedes Shootout at MIR 11/16/2013

In anticipation of the cold weather I've reserved both lanes at MIR (1/4 mile race track in Maryland) on November 16th. The DA that time of year should be good for records and MIR is one of the best tracks in the country! The negotiated cost is $100/car (half what they would normally charge for a offseason weekend rental) and $10/spectator. Hours are 9am until 5pm. If you want to see what your car really can do, this is your chance. Run as many times as you want and little to no lines!

1. RedBullJnky- TT E55
2. Sir-Boost-a-Lot- Built Weistec E55
3. AKnight55- Modded E55
4. Pas6201- TT E55
5. e55amgrocket- Built E55
6. M0v30v3r- Weistec E63 biturbo
7. Chawkins2001- E55 on all kinds of substance abuse
8. Rockthemullet- Modded E55
9. Blackbenzz- Ricer hoopty

^ Let me know if your car isn't ready. There's plenty of time until mid November though. Depending on how much crap I need to load into the CLK I may have room for you.

Looking like alot of heavy hitters going to be running! Lets see how many AMG's we can get in the nines in one day loll

That's a mean looking line up.

BTW it should say TT E55.

Definately worth it even to spectate. I drove 7 hours last year just to spectate.

Dammitttt. I broke this past weekend and planned on being done for the season but this might be too good to pass up. Sign me up, let me know when the deposit is needed. Will we get a reschedule or refund if we get rained out?

I'll be on the mods in my signature and brand new head gaskets, lol

I will do a couple rentals before then for the local guys to get dialed in. This event will be to see who can run the best ET on even playing ground

I'm not sure how to go about that but if all the cars listed so far show up it will definitely be the baddest 55 lineup I've ever witnessed

Spectators are welcome. You might get tempted to run though

Now that's some dedication!

No deposit needed. Just bring $100 cash to the event.

I may bring my new track car for a pass.
Can also bring a professional video crew if needed/wanted.

The spectator fee should be $500... This way its cheaper to run your car...With all the heavy hitters, I'd want some stockers to beat up on, otherwise I'll be looking at taillights all day. I'm a maybe as of now. Maybe I'll just run on Michelins so I have an excuse. Street tire record???lol

Spectators aren't allowed in unless they're accompanied by a stripper. These strippers get free entrance in exchange for hooking up the racers with private lap dances while waiting in the staging lanes. everybody wins
