Don't forget the rock party the Saturday before. Would be a good chance to see the track if you've never been on it before.
Altiain what are the rules at Eagles Canyon as far as convertibles go?? Rollbar Required??
Good question Mick - I've sent an email and I'll post the answer when I get it.Originally Posted by POS Racing

Yes, please go out this weekend and pick up rocks so I don't have to worry about them next weekend.

I participated in the charity event last year without a roll bar. I was on street tires. I did have to run with my top up.
The track is a blast.
I have already registered for the Map Rally on the 28th. My wife will be navigator.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Roll bars were required last year.
Is anyone doing this? I missed the charity event and I'm still kicking myself.
I wonder what the format is?
I will be out there instructing. Format is the same as a typical track day - you'll get 4-6 20-25 minute track sessions (details are still being hashed out, but expect ~120 minutes of total track time), and the drivers will be broken up into three run groups - Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Be careful of that pit out. I have it on good authority that it can be challenging.

Got an email from the organizer. Cars with factory rollover protection are ok.

Thanks for the info Iain!
Yep, anything with factory rollover hoops (S2k, Boxster, NC MX-5) is okay. Convertibles without factory rollover hoops (NA & NB Miata, for example) require a minimum 4-point aftermarket roll bar.
Now I just hope my new set of R888s shows up in time to be mounted this week!

Ok I've signed up. I'll be on my street tires though since I'm saving the r-comps for autocross.
Looks like I'll be on street tires as well. My new track tires won't be here in time.

I reallllllly wish I were in dallas and could run out there.
I also need my 6ul's to show up so I don't have to run street rubber. With 9" wide wheels, I can't make myself put the new nt-01's on the track.
