Default MIR Interest

We are thinking about another outing to MIR this year since many have expressed interest. Of course this would not be as grand as the "No DA#% Excuses" event but does give people at least one more opportunity to put up a PB this year. Some of our local guys have inquired about doing this on a Saturday. I will contact Jason today to check availability and pricing. Please let me know if you have any interest. If we get at least (24) cars committed then we would allow street tires in one of the lanes.

Rules and pricing to follow.
Just spoke to Royce. We can have the 14th. Here's the pricing for a Saturday.
Exclusive Rental
Your group will be the only group that day.
Anyone that wants to run down the track that day must go through the person renting the track.

E-2
1 - Lane Sat-Sun
Off Season
1-20 vehicles = $4,000 ($200 per vehicle after 20)
Spectators & Crew charged $10 per person

E-4
2 - Lanes
Side by Side
Sat-Sun
Off Season
1-24 vehicles = $4,800 ($200 per vehicle after 24)
Spectators & Crew charged $10 per person


We also need to spray the track for safety @ $0.50/LF beyond the 60'. This will be an addidtional $630 for 1 lane and $1,260 for both lanes.

Based on our current car count of 16 for slicks and DRs, one fully prepped lane will be $289.38/person.
If we opt for two lanes to include the two street tired vehicles, the cost will be $336.67/person.

Please let me know what you think. To commit, I would need ALL money up front.

I thought you called yours "The No More Crying Rental" or something like that.
We have had two annual events already. This is just a supplemental rental for those who missed this year's. You are more than welcome to attend.

Gary, the 14th is a Saturday and it looks fine for me. If it ends up being a different day, in most cases I can move around my work to go. Thanks for trying to get this together.

Wow, not cheap!! But im still interested. How many hours? Also, not sure how this would work for you or others, but Im up for a Friday or any week day as well. Most tracks are about half of what sat and sun. run. Just a suggestion. Also, if rained out, will it be a rain date, refund, or what?

Weekday is about half
No rain date
Refund if we do not run
