Ha, MIR is about the same distance for me as well! Great track though and only 80 feet above sea level

I'm pretty sure the only time I will go to MIR is for these special test & tune days you guys are talking about. In the time it would take me to drive there, I could get 1 maybe 2 whole runs done at CR

13.3 was my best time when I was stock, 7AT. My friend who has the 6mt best time of the day was 13.5. Both first timers to the 1/4 mile for those times too.

Which track did you run your Z at? 13.3 aint too shabby!

Cecil County Dragway, did it in the heat of the summer too. If I remember correctly even at 8pm that night it was still in the lower 90s.

Blades - I haven't been back since the mods, I'm waiting till I get something on the intake front, looking at possibly motordyne's intake manifold and/or a CAI. Would be nice if AAM would make me a CAI like they said they would months ago but I think I'm done waiting on them. So much for supporting your local buisnesses...Anyway once I have some intake mods and then get a tune I'll be looking to go back to the track. I really ought to do an oil cooler as well so I can then start thinking about doing some HPDE events down at Summit Point, that sounds like a blast.

Mine is a 7AT as well. Have you taken it back out after your mods? If you did, how did you do?

CR is 20 ft above sea level and opens on March 6th. Are tracks usually open every day or only certain days of the week?

Usually not every day. Wednesday and Friday evenings are the most common times for Test & Tune events. They should have it on their schedule.

You can go look at them anywhere. Probably worth buying from budsgunshop.com.

If you want to buy local, Guns and Ammo and Virginia Arms are pretty decent, and have always been helpful when I've been in.

Not ready to get anything just yet, but I do need to pick up a cleaning kit and some other stuff for my 70 Series.

BTW, I checked out the XD Subcompact at the Gun Show on Saturday and I have no idea how that's a "Sub Compact." Still pretty bulky. I liked the Kahr CW9, P9, and PM9 as carry options.

Eh, I agree that it's big for an SC, but it actually conceals pretty well. If you pick up the right holster (Kholster or Crossbreed) it's comfy and pretty much unnoticeable.

I'll have to go handle one at a gun shop to really get a better feel for it.

The thing that makes me more comfortable with that gun than the Kahr is the grip safety. Kind of silly but it's a personal thing.

But the ergonmics of the Kahr are great.

The grip safety is great for peace of mind, but arguable unnecessary if you are careful. I still like to have it.

The Kahr is a good gun from what I've heard, probably worth renting one to see if you like shooting it.

BTW thanks for the link... they have some nice pricing!

I'm planning on HFC this summer and Stillen Gen 3 around this time next year. Good luck with AAM or whatever you decide to go with.
