    I'm with you Jeremy. This stuff is crap. Just love multiple attempts being told I'm not an SCCA member and that my car number is already registered when Neal is the only person in class. If we decide to come out I'll just waste time standing in line.

    Cancelled unless someone else wants to step up...

    A very close friend, Jim Day, lost his Mom last night, and the funeral will be held Sunday.

    Y'all be safe. We'll try this again next Sunday at the Nat.

    It's raining cats and dogs up here in Frisco, and rain is predicted until mid-to-late afternoon. Sorry, but I'm a fair weather racer. Too bad... I really liked the run/work order for Tire Class.

    The weather started out terrible, but the rain stopped early and the course dried out nicely halfway thru the 1st of 2 heats. The wind was cold, but at least it was dry. It was a fun course to drive and it flowed nicely. Congrats to all the trophy winners! The Miata's made a strong showing in Tire Class.

    Fun event, great course, shadowed by crappy weather. I really really hate the bus lot.

    Good job to Joseph Kahn for taking the SS win and to Thomas for scaring me and Jon the entire event! Slow down Thomas, I don't like the pressure!

    One gripe though, is there a reason why we had 2 heats? In the 1st heat we had, um, plenty of leftover workers. Would've given people a chance to warm up in between heats and ulitmately allowed more runs. Kudos to SCCA for getting 4 runs done and out of there by 3:30 though.

    Congrats, Joseph on the SS win!

    Yeah, accept for the rain and cold wind, all went well.

    Fun event today, but I'm with Jeremy, we had entirely too many workers during the first heat, not sure how it was during the second.

    That was a good B-stock battle today, and I'm interested to see how fast Jessica is going to get once she gets the hang of the car.

    Congrats to POS, J-Fo and Cosmos for the wins! Video to come soon!

    Thanks guys, I got a bit lucky and was on fresh tires. I don't suspect it will be a common occurance :)

    I'm dead tired today but overall it was a good event after it dried up in the morning. Big thanks to my co-driver Mark, Clovis, and Ken o for helping me get the exhaust put back on after it popped loose. Also good job to ratt_finkel on a blazingly fast 4th run and POS Racing on the CS win.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Jessica drive next weekend, she pulled out a 52.XX beating a lot of guys and it was her first time driving the car in competition and 2nd time driving it period!

    Samm, Jarrett, Mick, Joseph, Thomas you guys were fast out there yesterday! Congrats on all of the brought home by the DFWMIATA crew, good stuff!
    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.

    Most the Miatas ran in the afternoon when it was a bit warmer with 4 dry runs but they were still very fast. I just saw that Sammm laid down a 52 on street tires and should've won T except for that pesky DS pax.

    Also most the BS people switched to BSP to run in the afternoon when weather conditions were iffy. First 2 morning runs sucked but run 3 and 4 were dry. BS to BSP entrants were blazing fast with JFo blasting a 49.1 on his final run and Thomas not far behind. My gf actually spanked the lone BS entrant in Miatamoto's car by 2 seconds!
