MIR Track Rental 4/21/14

I have reserved both lanes at MIR (Maryland International Raceway) on Monday April 21st (no Fridays in April were available) One lane will be for drag radial and slick cars only and the other lane will be for any tired cars. $100/car to race all day (9-5) and spectators are free. Great group of people and it's fun for everyone from beginners to veteran drag racers. Who's coming?

Usually is Fridays but none were available in April so had to do a Monday. Wanted to get a rental in before it gets too hot!

I'm sure it does, even as what I assume is a full weight car you can probably get deeeeep into the 9s. So if you don't mind me asking how much do these type of twin turbo builds run? I can't imagine they're affordable by any stretch of the imagination but do you have a build thread or something? Thanks again!

But BB's setup isn't twin turbo.

But I think a TT conversion on a 55k runs something like 10k? That's just a figure I heard when I was looking with my 55k.

I am so sorry that was meant at CLS55tt, but my original comment still stands to BB that's also an incredible car.

I'll be looking for the results tomorrow. I would have probably came to this one had it not been my busiest week of the year. I leave Tues. morning for 5 days and have to get many things in order here. I will be looking for results tomorrow night before I leave and hope for 9's for you.... without removing weight first! Either way...my crystal ball sees 9's tomorrow!


I am going to Atco track rental next Monday 4/28 if you wanna do it all over again!


P.S. Count me in for famous Dave's...where do I send the $9? Please mail food to 555 Mockingbird lane.
