I've never been to MIR but I suppose there is a general pit/staging area where you can go and chill when not running?

Yes there is a area to pit and chill or sit in the stands. You should have went today bro, perfect weather. As it get colder so does the ground and it gets harder to hook up.

gotta work! This car can't pay for itself haha

I'll be down for the next one

any other M cars there or anything noteworthy?

Thanks for coming to the rental and glad you had fun! That's what it's all about. I saw your car behind me a few times in the lanes. Absolutely beautiful car! Also test and tunes suck. After going to a rental I can't do the test and tune lines etc. rentals you can pretty much get as many runs as you want

Yea guys next rental is Saturday November 19th. Expecting a big turnout. Weather pending. There were 38 cars running today. Everything from GTR to Porsche to Ctsv to Vette to Camaro to Audi to BMW. Lots of nice cars!

Ah so that was you. I wondered around when I first got there to thank you but then the runs started so I jumped in to join the fun. I'll be there on the 19th for sure. Good times man and thanks again.

No problem. Maybe next time

LOL well in any case come on down for the rental. We'll take some back roads and turn it a cruise down and back up. I'm bringing my camp grill and a cooler with beer and hot dogs.

I don't know but DCT is always going to be faster than a 6MT. But no fun not having a 3rd pedal.

Pretty much. I know the guy that holds them. The next one is on Saturday, November 18th. These are always a fun time. No lines, cool/chill people, and some really fast cars.
