Solution #1! MIR March 8th, 2008

[reocamaro]

Well, since my last topic I created I found this to be the "best" place to post up about drag racing. Who wants to hit up MIR on the 8th? It's the second saturday of the month. There's going to be an early morning meetup so we can get there for when the gates open, roughly 8pm.

Who's in!?

[catfSSh]

me definitely, possibly a friend too

[Gonzo526]

so u guys are gonna get together in the morning and everyones just gonna ride up there and have a day at the strip?

[reocamaro]

Yeah that's the plan. Have a little cruise/drag day. My helmet just got ordered this morning.

[99formulam6]

ill be in Florida for my wedding

[reocamaro]

Didn't you get married last year? How many of these are we going to have to miss you on? :) Have a good time.

[catfSSh]

what is mir's requirements for certain times?

helment?
driveshaft loop?

[reocamaro]

well, i'll have to take a look. I'm fairly certain they don't list their actual requirements, but if they are affliated with the NHRA i can go to their website and find their info.

[RPRacing]

MIR is IHRA, but the safety rules closely mirror NHRA.

AS for mar 8th. as long as my car is done (which who the hell knows), I'm game.

[reocamaro]

awesome. and thanks for the tip on the rules, now i have to track down IHRA's rules.

[LD-rhdEG6]

Im going! cant wait

[reocamaro]

Do you want to run up with us?

[crizx]

is that going to be a test n tune on that saturday??
ill be there if i can find a cable tranny by then...

[reocamaro]

Yeah, it's TnT.

Who wants to think of a place that we meet up? I'm thinking about a parking lot in chesapeake/ va beach.

[catfSSh]

probably someplace close to the interstate.

how would greenbrier mall be? off volvo parkway

[99formulam6]

when does VMP or richmond open?

[reocamaro]

Okay, so we'll set the time at 9:00am. And outside of the main entrance to greenbrier mall.

[reocamaro]

Chris, I'm pretty sure VMP and Richmond open March 1st.

[catfSSh]

Okay, so we'll set the time at 9:00am. And outside of the main entrance to greenbrier mall.

will that give us enough time to get there, go through tech and get some runs?

[reocamaro]

.

[RPRacing]

every time i go to MIR on a sat, we leave Va beach at 7am. get there around 9:30ish. and teched and ready by 10-10:30. it gets packed around 1. 2pm they start the grudge runs. and it gets hard to get runs after 2-3. best get there early

[reocamaro]

I can do early. I have no experience with MIR, SO let's go with 7am.

[catfSSh]

deal. works fine with me.

does everyone who's going agree on greenbrier mall parking lot?

its right by the interstate entrance, and a big lot.
im about 15-20 minutes from there so that works great for me

[Fuzion]

i might be down to go watch. nothing to run car wise yet.

[reocamaro]

I can't get a whole lot of people between the boards that are actually going to race their car, but have definitely been getting a lot of people that want to go to watch which is equally as cool. The more people we have, the happier I'll be :D

[quick26]

wouldn't petersburg be a good bit closer?

[reocamaro]

Yeah, but its more of an experience I thought I'd go there because I've never been. I hear good things about the track.

[quick26]

i got ya. what does it cost to run up there?

[reocamaro]

i got ya. what does it cost to run up there?

Looks like 30$ for the racer and 15$ for spectators.

[quick26]

yall going up the eastern shore or 95?

[reocamaro]

(you aren't a cop are you? :( I don't want to get arrested because everything on my car is deemed "for off-road use only") :D Eastern Shore.

[quick26]

lol no i am not a cop. i am just debating if i want to make the trip or not. i am about 45 min to an hour from greenbrier, so it would be a full day for me.

[reocamaro]

it's gonna be a full day for all of us. :) that's the point.

[catfSSh]

anyone got a spare helment?

[reocamaro]

I have a helmet that I can lend you when i'm not doing races, and you might want to ask that over on ECD, there's a few people looks like that are showing up over there.

[quick26]

i will not be going

what is ecd?

[japslpr]

I may be in if I can get my exhaust put back together that night.

Franscisco, What's up man, don't talk to you much, but I'm the guy that bought ryans GTP across the street from you. Let me know if you are going!


Here is the schedule for Richmond and VMP

[RPRacing]

nah, wont be going. i'm trying to get this thing prepared to go to georgia at the end of this month. and thats looking tough too

[reocamaro]

Sorry to hear some people won't be joining us. We'll have a few more come and go I'm sure. But can't wait to see everyone Saturday morning!

It sucks that you won't be able to make it, rpracing,, with your integra going 11.9 I think that would be a helluva race for me.

[catfSSh]

a lot of places have a 60% chance of precipitation :(

[reocamaro]

I know. i've been checking the forecast. But i've all ready decided and told the clouds they aren't raining on this parade :D

[catfSSh]

ill see what happens but if the forecast is gonna keep sucking i might have to back out

im not rich enough to drive up there and pay for admissions and not get a run

[reocamaro]

of course, common sense over all else. I'm just hoping the storm blows over. I've seen the weather reports wrong before, maybe only one before ;) but before none-the-less.

[quick26]

i think i am going to jax raceway this weekend

[reocamaro]

son of a bitch!! haha. I want to go to the track this weekend. I'm jealous.

[catfSSh]

of course, common sense over all else. I'm just hoping the storm blows over. I've seen the weather reports wrong before, maybe only one before ;) but before none-the-less.

i hope it clears up, ill check the forecast tomorrow before i leave radford.

[quick26]

looks like i might not be going to jax raceway either. its supose to rain all day here today, i am not sure if they run tomorrow or not.

[reocamaro]

i'm officially throwing in my vote to scrap this event. better luck next time guys :(

[quick26]

weather sucks

[catfSSh]

ya i didnt go.
