Event Name: MDIR Test & Tune
Spectators Not Permitted.
Maximum Crew of 10 (including driver) must arrive together.

Adult Crew: $15.00
Junior Crew: Ages 12-15 $10.00
Child Crew: Ages 11 & under FREE!
Entry Fees:
Test & Tune - $40.00
"No Time" Test & Tune - $50.00
Gamblers Reentry - $30.00
Entry Fee includes driver's admission

Gates Open: 10:00 am
Time Runs: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Event Description:
Full day of time runs & grudge runs for all. There will be a free to enter $1,000 Gambler's Race, with plenty of track time for pro teams, imports, street cars, motorcycles, juniors, ET racers.

Will be calling cars to the lanes by E.T. breaks with one run per session. This will prevent you from having to stand in the staging lanes all day to get your runs.


MDIR GUIDELINES:

• Events will be open to participants, their family and crew only, with a maximum of 10 people total (including driver) on any race team.

• No spectators will be permitted. Crew and family must enter with the participant or leave names at the gate for a late-arriving family or crew member.

• All race trailers, both open and enclosed, must be parked in every-other 12’ pit space. That way, a trailer is taking up one 12’ space and there is an empty 12’ space for race vehicle, family and crew beside it. No trailers can be parked side-by-side. This will help ensure social distancing.

• All additional vehicles that come into the pits must park in front of the race car in your pit area or in the Pitside parking lot… NO EXCEPTIONS.

• All staff and participants will be wearing masks in any indoor structures, restrooms, tower, etc. and outdoors anywhere proper social distancing is not achievable. Masks will not be required outdoors with proper social distancing, but they are recommended.

• Hand washing/sanitizing must be done on a regular basis.

• The tower will have restricted access and will be limited to essential staff only.

• The crews will be limited on the starting line and front of the staging lanes, with social distancing extremely enforced. Our security staff and starting line staff will closely monitor this area to prevent unauthorized gathering.

• When not racing, racers are to abide by social distancing requirements. Racers and crew members will be required to stay within their own pit areas when not racing.

• Each group must have adequate PPE for each crew member and must wear masks when required. All groups will be required to acquire their own PPE and bring it with them to the track.

• Our restrooms are equipped with hands free fixtures. Restrooms will be cleaned, stocked and sanitized throughout the day or evening. All Pitside portlets will be moved and taken out of service.

• Concessions will be open, and lines will be marked for proper social distancing. Concession stand will follow all guidelines in place for local food service businesses. We will be open with a limited menu of food items that must be consumed within your pit area or in the grandstands with proper social distancing but not in front of our concession area.

We are excited about re-opening the track
and are looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Embarrassing run down the 1/4 mile

I arrived just before 1 PM at MIR and the track was crowded. While waiting to race, I saw a good number of friends and we had a lot of time to talk and hang out. Unfortunately, many cars broke on the track causing multiple delays. So many cars broke that I ended up leaving early and I only got in one pass. My rear tires spun as I launched, so I peddled the throttle but immediately spun again. I neglected to drop the tire pressure in my rear tires and they were over 40 PSI due to the heat.

This was very embarrassing and my worst pass down the 1/4 mile ever...
60 ft 2.9x sec.
ET 14.x sec.
Trap Speed 114.x mph

Join the racing at MIR — Sunday, November 22

I will likely be racing a LS3 Vette today that has cam and head work. He said he’s trapping at or above 125 mph.

Join the fun today from 10am-6pm at Maryland International Raceway!

Update:
I arrived at 9:20 am, paid the entrance fee and was through tech by 9:45 am. My buddy with the Vette was not able to show so I raced against two Dodges with the 6.4 liter, 485 hp Hemi engine. The owners were a father and son combo. They had worked together and installed headers, CAIs, new rear wheels with grippy tires and tunes to run with or without nitrous.
Race 1 (no nitrious)
Son Me
60’ 1.802 1.963
1/8 8.157 7.622

1000 10.667 9.760
1/4 12.785 11.562
Mph 106.20 125.02

Race 2 (nitrous 100 shot)
Dad Me
