Another NEW best Elapsed Time (ET) and Mile Per Hour (MPH)
Sun Nov 13, 10 am - 6 pm
Maryland International Raceway
Test & Tune

I was able to make only one pass today due to strong side-ways winds. The rest of the day they choose to only allow 1/8 mile passes for safety reasons.

Today was ideal for good passes down the 1/4 mile!

• Temperature was 54 F
• Sun was out to warm the track
• DA was -550
• 1/4 tank of gas
• Tires were front 35 psi and rear 27 psi

(Run 1) Lost just a bit of traction when launching
*NEW BEST*
ET 11.2 seconds at 129.6 mph:

Great time 1320racer!

I'm planning to go to MIR this Sunday with my stock F10 550iX to see what time she can do!

Great! I hope you are able to make it this coming Sunday.

It sounds like this might be the first time you are going to Maryland International Raceway. Don't be afraid to ask questions as most racers are happy to help you out.

I am hoping the weather is nice and sunny with temperatures in the 40s.

Chad,
Due to the anticipated cold and windy weather, the track is unfortunately closed this Sunday. I hope weather cooperates and our paths cross Sun Nov 27th instead.

Yes - I saw they had cancelled. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it on 11/27. I will keep an eye out for you if I do.

I haven't been to MIR in years - but my wife and I used to race their all the time when we had our imports and were racing in the NHRA Sport Compact Series, NOPI, Imports Vs Domestics and other racing series. She campaigned an all-motor Acura Integra and then we switched her to my Turbo Integra (9.90's at 147+mph if memory serves me correctly - this was in the very early 2000s)
