Big MIR Track Rental November 22, 2014 BCB Rental

I just reserved both lanes at MIR on SATURDAY November 22nd for us to go racing! Should be the nice cold temps with negative DA that everyone talks about aka the MIRacle track lol. I've negotiated it down to $100/car and $10/spectator. One lane for drag radials/slicks and one lane for street tires. Track is open from 9am to 5pm. Who's in?

I'm definitely interested. How do I go about signing up?

Jake, it's at MIR in Budds Creek, MD. Down 301 South until you're about 5 miles or so from the bridge over the Potomac into VA.

I drove it in November last year at Summit Point--it was awesome.With full race-suite on, etc. I appreciate the cool.
It's a big go-kart with great HP:weight. Makes 380HP, weighs 1500. Turning and braking even more insane.
This will give you an idea. Not me, but same car with lap record at Nürburgring Nordschleife.

I think my brother wants to start transitioning out of it, and have me take over pilot duties. Track rental is a logical place for me to make some passes in it. Might have to fight my wife for it...

Getting some last minute instructions on transbrake, ignition, fuel pumps shutoff etc, before boogying around in it. My two sons are remembering for when it gets handed down to them.

I'm in. Is everyone welcome? I don't have hooligan friends, but my bro-in law might bring his notch back fox body, and my other buddy might bring his street slaying subaru.

Let me know if we're welcome to invite others.

600hp and 3000lbs.

It's one of the fastest cars I've ever been in from a dig on the street.

That second video is awesome. It looked like that rail beat him by about .05. So, I guess that's a 7 second Camino?

If there's a significant turn-out, BlackBenz blesses it, and the track will grant appropriate access, I will bring a crew to shoot video.
