Description	Cost for this event is a $50 cash donation, a new unwrapped toy (ages 1 to 12 yrs of age) and 2 non perishable food items.Proceeds from this event will be going to a local shelter here in Wise County for abused women and children and some will be going to several angel trees through out the county.

Registered. I'll be on my street tires as I finally corded my RA1's at H2R. I want some NT01's for Crimmas!

It's pretty much a track day for $50, a toy, and two cans of lima beans. It's a great deal and an excellent way for novices to experience the track for their first time, or even if you are a track junkie like Black Roadster. ;)

They have lead-follow groups for first timers, intermediate groups, and expert groups. If you have never done this, then you'll love it.

I will not likely drive at this event, but my wife will be doing her first track day in my car.

Think of it as a light track day. Not as much instructing, not as much track time. But all for a good cause.

I'm in if I have my suspension sorted out by then.

In to instruct. Not sure I'll have anything to drive but a truck.

I'm in. I'll be in the yellow Escort, its first track day.

I don't think they want trucks on the track anymore. Instructors are there to do leads and $5 ride alongs. Call Maggie to make sure about your truck since I may be wrong.

I have no intention of taking the truck on the track. :facepalm:

But it would be epic!

I'm out. I'll be at MSR with Apex on the 1.3 instead. Y'all have fun!

I'll be there instructing again this year.

I'm in for a little Christmas cheer.

I'm going. Just sent my email.

fuuuuuuuuuuuu, I work that saturday :(

Maggie confirmed my reservation--I'm in. Car ready/no excuses.

I will not make it.

I may actually bring the Lexus out to this.

In

Weather isn't looking to good.

It won't get above freezing with a chance of precipitation.

Bring your Blizzaks, just in case.

Win = track car with heated seats.

Too damn cold for me.

Thank you!!!

Awesome!

Since this event was rescheduled to the 14th, looks like I'll be there and instructing as well.

I wanna go but don't know if I will be able to now... ::Censor::

How strict are they about the broomstick test at ECR? I may be able to go now that it's next weekend.

No broomstick test. Its not a competitive event.

If I offered my '09 Miata GrandTouring/6-speed (Tyler/Mach1's old car) to Ian and OZMDD for a three-lap sprint each, who would have the better lap around ECR?
I really want to know...
(trans/clutch/brakes would be cooked no doubt)

Paul

I'm in! Clutch and tranny would be fine. Brakes might be a bit toasty.

If the brakes are stock they won't stand up to three laps each of Mike and I driving. ;)

Honestly? I have no idea. It's been about three years since I've been to ECR. But Mike is just a cone dodger, so he'll have trouble finding 3rd gear. I'm game to find out... :burnrubr:

I'm pretty sure I could beat them both by over 5 seconds. Gimme three laps in your car to prove it...
