World Cup 2009

This past weekend was MIR's World Cup Finals, a two-day event that pits domestics against imports. As usual, it was a packed event with great racing, new personal bests and fun times.

We have had an amazing season this year, winning every event we entered. But as the old saying goes, you can't win 'em all! Saturday was a promising day for us as we ended the day with an 8.76, putting us in the #1 qualifer position. However, Sunday just didn't seem to hold the same fortune for us. We redlit in the first round. You win some, you lose some. We still had a fun weekend and enjoyed seeing our customers and friends hit their own personal bests.

Congrats to our customers for some great racing and great times this weekend! We were so proud to see 4 of our customers hit their personal best times this weekend!

Tommy Berdet - 9.90 @ 151 - Civic Hatchback - Wild Street

Pepsi (Jose) - 10.67 @ 128 (on 2200 lbs) - Civic Hatch - All Motor Street
