As the subject says, there will be Imports Vs Domestics at MIR this coming Nov 9th (Sunday) at MIR.. Maryland International Raceway.

I'll be meeting with my friends at Shift-DC and roll over there at roughly 8am (starts at 10, 1.5 hour drive from N.VA) If anyone in the area would like to go and drive with us, you're more than welcome.

 

Needless to say though, I'm down.


mmm Import Vs Domestic....

I'm not sure if I should run in the 14-14.99 1/4 class or 13-13.99.. Hmm ... I think I'm going to have some run eating some GT mustangs

 

I'll Roll ... Should have my new rims n tires on by then too

Volk 19" Gram light 57F pros ...

4 inch rear lip.... yummy

 

dude your going to be slower!!! I want to go

I will keep my eye on this post and we shall see!

 

ALright im going and bringing my father along, tried to get him to bring his 76 vette but he won't! bummer i wanted to go up against him, all 350 hp and fiberglass body! oh well maybe next time.

how much is it what the website for it, anyone?!?!?!

 

I might roll, but I'm not quite sure yet. I was talking to a guy who was there last year and he said it was so packed that he only got like 2 runs in. And he was there like an hour before they opened. But I guess it's about more than just racing, the atmosphere should be awsome as well.

Ricky - you should run in the 13-13.99 class. You smoked me with that plenum and I've been running 13.80's consistantly at the track.

vincenzobar - Here's MIR's website.

 

Yeah thanks, I am going and i am bringing my pops!

What time are you all getting there! i will be the white stock track with Nismo Floormats!!! Jealous aren't you!!!

 

Still looking forward to next week! One question though, I've been to MIR before, and I know we just pay when we arrive. But since this is sorta an event, do we have to register or anything like that beforehand? Aight just wondering, thanks...

I was thinking this event was on a Saturday all this time. One of my co-workers set me straight, he'll be there with his prelude club. I'll definately be there, I'm hoping to get into the 13.60's with the crank pulley I'll be installing today.

I just installed my grounding kit!!! woo hoo! i'll take everyone there! to bad im not racing

look for a 26 6' and 53 5'10 year old both with short black hair comed back and very italian looking and thats us! hope to see you all there!!!

 

I am going. ( not that any of you care)

Going to run the street renegade class. even though the whole event is biased towards the import. IT is why the import vs domestic ratio is very skewed.

Street renegade class. The first NA class a v-8 can run runs against 4 and 6 cyl cars with two power adders. range of the quick 16 was 10.80 to 11.6 last year.

They will not let v-8s or above run with more than one power adder.

I think it will be a cool car show though.

 

I'm sure there will be a lot of you f-body and stang guys there. What do they mean by power adders? I'm assuming FI(NOS,Turbo,S/C) and the like; Not things like exhaust and intake. Is this correct?

 

correst. supercharger, turbo and giggle juice all power adders.

 

That was colder than a witches tit in a brass bra... but fun as hell!!!

can't wait till next spring and summer events, I am so there!!!!!

 

Yeah it was pretty cold and I only managed 2.4-2.2 60fts and 13.90's all day. I had zero traction with the stock potenzas. I did manage to make it to 2nd round eliminations in the Hybrid Modified class though. Too bad they wouldn't let us run each other Ricky, but you still got a respectable time in. Based on your trap speed your car can run 13.50's-13.60's easy. It was a cool event, but I might pass if it's that cold again next year.

 

so who won?

 

I don't know but I'm assuming the imports won. I left when I got eliminated and the imports were ahead by a large margin at that time. I think most people left after they got eliminated in the quick 16, even though they had the option to run in the ET brackets, because it was so cold (temp display read 32 degrees). That's why I left; the track had absolutely no grip and my last run 60ft was a 2.4 (my worst ever). My ETs sucked too, I ran 13.90's all day and my best trap was 102.78. Just one day prior I ran a 13.667 @ 103.72 and a 13.488 @ 103.92 at Capitol Raceway.
