Maggie told me registration is open till 10...because I don't get off work till 8am...
I would like a ride with someone in a Miata familiar with the track that can give me some pointers. Pretty please? ::Hyper::
Well... I'm officially out. I was swapping tires and noticed my left front shock was leaking. ::Bawl::
Y'all have fun!
Take the blue car.
Or pull the shock from it.
Good fun today. Not many clean laps, but tons of fun passing and trying to hang on faster cars' bumpers. Cool to see Andy Hollis there smoking the American Iron cars in his CRX. Despite an issue with my cat converter, I managed to pick up almost 3 sec over last year, down to a 2:07.96. Great weather too.
It was my first track event and I had a good time! Don't think I'll become a full-time track junky, but it was a nice change of pace (literally!).
Great turnout for a great cause as well!

What an absolutely great day in December to be on the track and help with a good cause. Win! Win!
See Lelanie's pictures of him today driving one of the Ariel Atoms.

Eddie Hill - Amarillo Dragway - 1962 (I was 14!)
Fun day car stayed in one piece and I finally got to use the power of the land yacht. Broke 2:00 with a 1:59.7 in the 4th session.
This was my first track event with other cars and I had a blast. I'm glad I switch to the blue group after lunch. I found it hard though on my last session when I had pass a few cars and no one in front of me. It was hard to gauge when to brake, turn in, apex , everything! I have a greater appreciation of time trials and will definitely do more next year. The only time I almost lost it was when I was coming out of the pit lane on to the course and got sideways.
I have video of gabkwong passing a Corvette, and Sandor's spectacular off which he went off the track to the left and then went off on the RIGHT!
Wow, I need to see that video!
Great cause and great weather. Good to see everyone before old man winter closes the door on 2012.
