Renting a track soon

I usually rent a track once a year..The track is MIR which is a 1/4 mile and most likely will be late in NOV. Last year we had 8 cars and we had a blast. This year i thought about getting a larger count so I'm posting to see if any of the local CL guys interested. Most likely the track day will be in late NOV either on a Fri or SAT, but i will need to get a headcount before i pay the track a deposit to reserve it. We are going to have few clubs there as well so its going to be fun. We are going to have few M3's, E55's, LS1's, GTP's, maybe STi's etc....

So who is interested?

Details are here... http://www.mirdrag.com/rentals.htm


If we get 16 people it is $75 per person. Not too bad.

Single lane runs only though, so no head to head runs.

NOV 19th.... We have spots left so if u have friends u can bring them with u. It is going to single lane since the insurance is really high for dual lanes with 20 cars or so. Still plenty of time for each car to make runs. Last year some cars made more than 50 runs and we were sitting and talking most of the time.

Its all street cars... No trailers or cars that breaks down all the time. They dont charge for spectators, but u can try to hook up with someone so u can enter as a assitant.

Hmm... helping me with my car. My right thumb and fingers might get sore from turing the ignition key so I might need them to relieve me of that task later in the day.

Im having the same problem now.... I got my car tuned last weekend and i maxed out my 42lbs injectors and couldnt complete the tunning and we had to shut down the car around 6000rpm. The car only made 535rwhp 485rwtq around 7psi. My aim was 6600rpm and 9.5psi. So im waiting for the 60lbs injectors now and double springs which should be here next week. I also have to raise the car from the back since my new rear end is hitting the floor board. I hope i get the weigh jackers really fast, but this SEMA stuff is prolonging the proccess.
