Default MIR-2 Thread

Thought I would start the new thread as I couldn't find which thread we were talking on the other day. Trying to gather my crew together now, so I can make this one !

I wonder if Jay setup up the track date. Also, do we have someone on hand for video?

Video is needed badly. Every time I go I am so wrapped up in my own crap, no pictures or video happens. I have a 600mm Nikon, just need an operator.

I will be coming with my buddy Rick and his Turbo Busa. He has a drag radial as Robz requested, not a street tire. Also Walter (was world record holder Bike that is friends with owner of the MIR track) is supposed to come with us. He has a 7 second bike. He lost his crown about 6 months ago by a couple thousandths in Georgia. They will pull my trailer with their bikes in the back of his Dodge.

We are going to Bowling Green Sept 16th so I can shake the rust off. It has been over a year since I ran the Z.
After seeing the vids, I guess I will be the slow guy there

I am anxious to meet everyone in person.

Pitt

Bikes. Cool. I have a high 9 sec ZX-9 that I would love to bring along with the vette. Nothing like those 7 sec beasts, but quick enough for my ***.

I'll be glad to help anyway I can. I work with the track if you want. I'd prefer someone else take the reigns this year. I just started my own business and need to focus some time on it.

Jay said he was getting it set up. Have not heard back from him yet. He may have a handful with the mishap.

I didn't call yet because I am afraid they will want some money up front ( which I don't have any extra right now)

Do they require a deposit to hold a date? If so, how much??

I did not have to give them a deposit. If you talk to Royce Miller (track owner) or Jason Miller (son), give him my name (Dave Satterfield) and mention our rental last year. Or, I can call and get us the date.

edit: Jay, PM me your email address. I'll send you some notes and records from last year. There were a couple guys that didn't pay me. Don't want to call them out, but if you are going to be on the hook, you might want to know. FYI, I didn't pay anything until the day of the event.

There was a deposit. I cannot remember what it was. I'll have to check my records. Maybe Dave can remember.

Dave,
OOPS! Missed your post. Thanks.
As for the NON-PAYERS, give them up. They deserve what they get.

Jay,
We had collected everything prior to the December rental. This seemed to work out well for the most part. Here's a link to MIR.

Yes, but no street tires allow and it will be a pre pay rental

I was thinking Fri. Nov. 5, which is the day before MIR's big 2 day event Domestic vs. Import Event. That way guys that are traveling to the rental may want to stay the weekend and compete. It's a well run event with pretty good payout.
