10-30 MIR Private Rental - 1/4 Mile

Hey all,


Hopefully some of you will be interested in attending the 1st and possibly last Fall rental at MIR.....October 30th...its a Friday. Gates will open at 9am and track should be ready at 10am.

It would be GREAT to get a bunch of N54 powered cars out there.....maybe even compare a few tunes

MIR is a fantastic track and car be scary fast this time of year.



Let me know if you are interested directly and I'll get you in contact with my friend arranging everything.





$100/per car run as many times as you want. Hoping for 2 lanes prepped w VHT, but that will depend on the number of cars.

This should be the best chance for anyone within driving distance to run seriously fast times or just get to know their car. Very helpful people here.


I've been 5 or 6 times already, improving on my best et w/ every new track rental since the beginning of last year when I was only running V1.47 and no other mods. Havent ran the past few times as my 335 is RIP......but just might get the "new" M3 turbo down the 1320 this time.

If you have never ran the 1/4 mile, this is the perfect chance. You can ask Clem on this one, there is NO pressure, no lines, only enthusiasts, relaxed rules, and a great time to be had. Doesnt matter what you are driving either. Last November there was a stock Audi A8 running 16's....driver having a blast the whole time.

Here is a link to the Columbus day rental from last year so you can see what you missed........ACR viper setting a new record for one :

Will only post 2 pics for now.....this was earlier this year.

me


Clem and I filling up w the good stuff....cracktane if you will



Here is a post from Adam (Clem) from last year about the private rentals.

It wasn't pretty - 13.19 @ 109 - but I did pop my cherry.

MIR is a really nice facility especially when there are only a couple dozen people running. Track is sticky good - I ripped off a 1.86 60' on street tires (and then blew second gear) Driver mod obviously not installed!

Don't miss out. It's the most fun you can have for $100 with your pants still on!

i can drive a manual. i had an 01 z06 and put it through a 12.7 116 pass at mir. i wanted the at because where i lived when i first bought the 3er was so congested with traffic. i am just embarrased that i was getting such high 60' times with the at.

well time to get some lower 60 fts

MIR when prepped right can be seriously sticky...........hell the VHT took a shoe right off my feet last year at the starting line when I was helping someone line up.

That's probably the most traction you've ever gotten there.

I'll be there mucking it up in the M5. Fingers crossed for good weather!
