In response to going to MIR, it is too far and if you break most people are SOL. The guys on Tidewater" " are thinking about early sept. track rental at VMP. I am down for that **** plus I dont have to stop and get gas twelve times to get there.

In response to MIR being far yes thats true...... but well worth the drive, + what else is open on Sundays..... for Sean i know he's not worried because he knows if he brakes he has quite a few people who will come get him and tow him home.... (he really doesnt have any other days off either..)

Now on the VMP subject..... Maybe a track rental is different but i wont be going back to a T&T night ever again....

Even a BIG Event....i wasnt impressed..... a 4 HR delay... i just thought the track was run very poorly.... prep was good but running it wasnt....

Ill be running 1/8 mile for a bit when mines back out..... thats were your 1/4 et is at..... most try and add more power to compensate for there crappy 60' times and decrease there ET that way.....

I guess im just ranting....

I agree with Kyle,VMP is the most unorganized track i have ever been to.
Both time we went there it was a fiasco.MIR sometime can be really busy on a sunday test and tune.Last time at MIR got 2 runs in all day.


Kyle those parts you were asking about were shipped yesterday.
