Default MIR Rental Oct 7th...

$100 a car 9-5, drag radials or slicks preferred but there will be a dedicated street tire lane so one lane stays prepped.

You get all day to make unlimited passes. No wait times. Pretty much do whatever you want. T&T days can be nice as well, but sometimes you may want to make a solo pass and not have to worry about reaction times. Hard to do without holding everyone up on a T&T. Oh ya and your car will run a second quicker

A rental you have a dozen or two people with the track to yourself so you get tons of passes. Its nice not having to wait in staging lanes, plus the track is prepped and you dont have hundreds of cars tearing it up or oiling it down. There are also numerous street cars that want to make passes but dont have the safety equipment required to run at an event or T&T.
