Yep, those are the ones, but you're leaving one out. The new Toyo R1R. I wish the Yok AD07 was available in smaller sizes but it's not, the RE01R is great in 195/50/15 for the Miata (runs wide) and the Dunlop has been getting great reviews but comes in an unfortunate 195/55/15.Quote:

We've never been to a PCA event. How many runs do you typically get?

Well, the closest McDonalds to the venue is in a Walmart. The next closest is at 2391 N Collins St, Arlington, TX. I say we meet there at 7 AM.

Why don't you just grab your food and come help us setup the course??? :D
But us Miata guys like to meet for breakfast and solve all of the world's problems. How do you think we got Saddam? ;)Quote:

Thank Professor Porsche my 914/6 doesn't have a radiator or water pump http://www.914world.com/bbs2/style_e...fault/poke.gif ;)
You can still come out and watch the event. We haven't seen you since the SCCA event at TMS. I would love to catch up with you.
Just a heads up on the roads around the venue.
I 30 westbound at Collins is closed this weekend due to construction. So is Collins for all practical purposes.
Thank Jerry Jones.
I went by this site around noon today. There were a bunch of trailers and trucks parked in one area and some portable floodlight trailers set up on the west end of the lot. Sure hope all that is gone by tomorrow morning so we can use the whole lot! Anybody know which gate(s) will be opened for us to enter the lot? They were all closed (chains/locks) when I went by. Sure looks like a good site for AX!
I'll be there at 7am, anyone else?Quote:

Hmmmmmm musk...........I had a ferret and you had to have him de-musked at the vet, wonder what you would do to a Jarrett?
Bring work gloves. Those cones get pretty dirty.Quote:

Brad, you beat me. Good job!
I had a softball game at 5 and missed the afternoon runs. I'm very excited about this site and I can't wait to see a jrj512 course design on it. How did the pavement near the finish hold up in the afternoon???
I'm pretty sure I got FTD with my 3rd run in the morning! :)

The asphalt started to come up in a few places, so I do not know if they'll let us come back. Perhaps it will be okay after curing over the winter.
They had the restrooms in the Dr. Pepper field open for us, plus Port-a-Potties for the construction workers that ClayPerrine could not guarantee were clean. ;) (You had to be at the drivers meeting.)
The location offers lots of exposure for future racers to discover the sport. Sound could be an issue with the hotel right there, so sound levels would need to be enforced. There is a pinch in the lot that would prohibit using both sides of the lot for an event by SCCA and ER safety rules, but even using the east side for paddock/staging and the west side for a course would be much bigger than PMS (without sacrificing the mid-cities location) and almost as big (if not as big) as the Bus Lot.
I think clubs should consider this venue for future events. I would love to design a course for it.
IIRC - this is the lot where Subaru did a commercial event a couple of years ago. Remember the kid shagging cones on in-line skates with a hockey stick?
jrj512, Paul wanted me to say thanks for the instruction today. He had a lot of fun, and ran much faster on his first autocross than I did during mine.
The course was quite fun, and here is the video from my best run today:

There is a mistake on the video, the time is 60.954, not 60.095. But I am tired and not going to redo the video tonight.
Enjoyed the day gentlemen...

I am glad everyone enjoyed the event. Sorry for the heat, but I don't control the weather.
the lot held up well, with only the one spot breaking down. I talked to my contact and was told that they had pavement suitable for 18 wheelers put down, and if it was breaking up from a bunch of cars running, and on the inside of the turn, then they were going to talk to the paving contractor about why it was breaking up.
Everone is welcome to come to our next event... i will keep you posted.
:burnrubr:
Video of my third run.
I'd like to thank the lovely and talanted Lelani (sp?) for bringing us Miata pilots the Cherry Limeades Sunday afternoon! :clap: That was a real pick-me-up, and I surely needed it.
You're gonna make POS Racing jealous.Quote:
