I learned this the hard way.....
Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.
Pretty good day, even with 60 people and 8 runs I was done and had tires changed by 2:10! 1st, 2nd and 3rd FTD were all Lotus as well :)

Thomas, thanks for the setup help! And thanks to Brad and Lee for the sandwich - good to meet you guys...

Weather was perfect today, that is if I had the right air pressure in my tires from the beginning. Had the oil changed and they let air out and I simply forgot to add air before my first runs. I represented as best as I could for DFWMiata.com.
Had fun guys, take care,
And welcome for the sandwich tricky it was good meeting you.

Hey Brad... if you get a chance, shoot me a pic of the camera mounts you guys were using (particularly Lee's, since I'd need to mount mine the same way). That was slick!

BMW is an efficient club. They did a very nice job. Really like the run-work-rest format.
The course left me uninspired. Not terrible (well maybe the finish was pretty bad) but it was a point and shoot kind of day. Guess it's good to get some practice on those elements every once in a while. Congrats to fellow Lotus drivers for nice showing.

+1 It was a great event. We finished up around 2:30 and had plenty of time for fun runs. The course had it's good and bad, but the point and shoot section really killed my magical-triangle-powered, torqueless wonder!
Part of it was my fault b/c I kept meaning to downshift after the last slalom but the course was so busy I just kept forgetting.
Overall it was a very fun event and I got to drive Nathans Camry Solara powered MR-2!

You looked really fast out there and have definitely come a long way in a short amount of time. The MR2 that won X has a pretty nifty JDM high hp motor swap in it that would get it kicked to SM2 for SCCA competition so don't feel bad about a few tenths!Weather was perfect today, that is if I had the right air pressure in my tires from the beginning

Lemme guess - Bedell engineered it? Is this the same MR2 Nathan has owned since Halthing was a young man?Overall it was a very fun event and I got to drive Nathans Camry Solara powered MR-2!

It is at least Bedell inspired. I don't think Brad put it together. Yes, this is the red ex-turbo car. The head gasket was starting to go and it was about the same price to do the swap as to rebuild.Lemme guess - Bedell engineered it?

The HD quality looks great but it seems like the video is a bit choppy in a few spots, is that camera 30 FPS?

Tricky, I will send you the pictures but I will be on Saturday, I am out of town on business this week.
Cosmos, Thank you for the inside scoop on the MR2!

Yes 30FPS, but no IS.
