Default MIR on 8/16

A bunch of people from f-bodyhideout were thinkin of heading to MIR on august 16th. Just spreading the word seeing if I can get some more nice cars to show up and hang out. I believe it is just a test and tune day which i think starts about 10 am, prolly get there around 9.

I'll be there with my fingers crossed for a new slow best! I went 12.19 in the good fall air but have added longtubes and front runners since then. Hoping for a 1.5x 60 foot and a 11.99!

So you finally got some LT's, no cats or cats? Don't you have a tire out back now too? You should have no prob getting into the 11s. I'm trying to get mine into 11s in the heat.
