Doesn't most of the NHRA events take place at MIR? I know people who go to Capitol Raceway and post great times...and post horrible times at MIR. I'd rather go where the pros go and see what I can run. It would be more satisfying.

9 times out of 10 MIR is faster than Capitol, especially trap speed wise, its like Cecil. Guys run 1-2mph faster @ Cecil than Capitol sometimes(like I did NA). If you've seen different thats fine, but not normal.

This will be an AWESOME day. Mike, we can run again now. I'ma love to see how my 60' stacks up against the F/I cars with slicks... should be interesting.

Hey BamBam, don't let ANYONE FROM MITSUBISHI get access to the track... I like my warranty.

P.S. I second the BBQ idea. If someone supplies a grill, I'll bring a box or two of burgers.

*EDIT* ****, I just realized that's a Friday... I gotta change my leave around to make it. I'll let you know for sure by the end of today or tomorrow.

This is to give you an idea of what you will see at the 60ft, and by the 1/4 if you bring your binoculars going against my Z with slicks and FI-a Z's rear end

LOL... yeah, true. Couldn't find a good pic. Would've been great if there was a pic of a DB Z being towed.

I don't think that is fair man... you had better times then me when you were NA and I was running 400 rwhp....

But it would be entertaining to see how it is done..

Hey, yea guys NA is good to. I have seen some of your times and I know there are some kick@ss times being put down by some NA machines.

I emailed my boss today. He said he had to double check some things, but it shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to go ahead and add my name to the list. If there's a problem, I'll know within a day or two and I'll take me name off.
