    Since we are going to have a lower turnout for this event, we might be able to add one or two more runs.

    We are looking at 72 degrees and partly cloudy on Saturday, so it should be a great day for an event.

    jrj512, can you post (or link to) the aerial view of the Top Gear track? I'd enjoy seeing that.

    That's going to be a very high-speed course! Looks like a lot of fun, but I'll be doing a track weekend at Motorsport Ranch with the Maverick Region PCA crowd. Ya'll have fun out there, and try to keep from going off in the back left corner. That back stretch looks very fast, and there doesn't appear to be a lot of room for error on that 90degree left hander...

    If you can not get it fixed still come out and I am sure we can take your money.

    Thanks. It shoud be cleared up by tomorrow, but I think everyone knows how blazing fast paypal works when it comes to give back money.

    We can usually work something out if you have special circumstances. Just shoot me a PM before time so I can approve it.

    Steve, you need to come join us in class 1, Mark is used to racing by himself.........
    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.

    It was one of the fastest (if not the fastest) AX course I've ever been on.

    Stupid Fast is what comes to mind!

    Kudo to NTAXS once again.
    10 runs on a ~80 second course. Was at the top of 3rd gear in 2 or 3 spots on the course.

    +1

    First time I've seern my shift light come on in 3rd! I know JJ was shifting into 4th in the afternoon runs.

    And I didn't miss a single 2nd-to 3rd shift!

    I did the 2-5 shifts several times today. My engine noise dropped so much I could hear the course workers laughing.

    Great, fast course. I had a blast.

    Thanks to Robert and JJ for the course.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
