it was in the Rx7... I had slowed a bit before I hit dirt. I dunno how fast I was going really... But hey, I have it on video if anyone really cares!

How can I be so thirsty this morning, When I drank so much last night??
:) I mowed the grass out there and filled the radiator up with grass seeds. There isn't much that scares you in a car if you've ridden a bike for any amount of time. :-D
Which reminds me, I need to get back out to MSR soon. I'm curious to see how much time I shaved off with the R compounds.
I'm looking forward to TMS. I just hope my koni's are back from pro-parts today.

AC? Hell, I hope we don't have to use windshield wipers
Course will be much the same as the past two. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot you can do to a 40ft. wide piece of asphalt...gate here, off-set there, slalom a bit further, more off-sets, Chicago box....
I have it all drawn up, but knowing Pete, the safety guru, some of it will most likely change... Hey POS, try to keep him in check, would'ya?

I was standing at the starting line when that camaro crashed at TMS. listen to the advice given by tailchaser and youll be fine. the guy in the camaro would have been fine if he would have let off the gas. I didnt see any brake lights, he kept his foot in it and went all the way around. If he would have lifted, no big deal, just a few cones. Dont worry about spinning off, just drive smart and youll be ok. besides ive gone 40 backwards into a ditch, its not so bad

Here they are. Brand new rubber!
not sure who you are, but you couldn't have been more than a few feet from me... I was standin' under the tent watching an thinking "what the hec is that guy doing.. Uhhh... This ain't gonna be good" WHAM!
It's ok though.. TMS is good.. The last event they had the 1st heat runing a bit of a "trecherous" offset gate at the finish... No one is out to make ya hurt yoru car...
Ok, just ignore me... I'm excited for Sunday!
(and a little drunk after this evening's adventures.. BTW, rain sux.)

Ok just to make sure I am going to the right place we are meeting at 730 here?
Yep, there's a Mcd's in the truck stop on the SE corner of I-35 and HWY 170 It's just south of the giant Cabella's they're building.. can't miss it..
By the way, if anybody wants to use my 12x12 tent and loveseat, you're all more than welcome to... just meet me sometime today after 3pm!
I belive it is at exit number 65 on 35N headed out of Ft. Worth, it is in the truck stop.
Cars went zoom-zoom. Miatas won lots of trophies. Someone punted the timing lights. I hit more cones on my first run that I've hit in the last 2 year's worth of SCCA events.
lugnutjon fired up the excuse generator (tires were funky). sammm spun the car and may need to borrow your vacuum cleaner. jolberry seems to have figured out this "Miata thing," having now trophied in a hotly contested Tire class, and is now subject to all the rights, priveleges and smack talk we offer. kestrel plugged dfwmiata.com over the PA. Twice. I fatally wounded a cone in the second slalom. That darn E stock Fiero still hasn't blown up.
There were computer problems, but they only affected the last 15-20 runs in each heat, and PA did a fantastic job of making sure they didn't slow things down.

Miatae dominated Street Tire Class, taking the first 4 out of 5 trophies! Congrats to tailchaser for taking 1st, onething took 2nd, sammm took 3rd and jolberry took 4th (you left too soon!).
It was a fun, fast track with little or no room for error. (I did rotate the vehicle and had a corner worker scrambling) The cone-shaggers all got a workout today (myself included!)
The event ran smooth, we got 4 runs and were done before 4:30. Kudos to SCCA for getting it right this year!
Sounds like a good time was had by most!!
